What is your favourite circuit of all those YOU have raced on and what is your favourite corner or stretch of track?

My favourite circuit to drive is Lakeside Raceway north of Brisbane Qld Australia. My favourite corner is probably Hungry, but it's a tough choice, there are so many there to choose from.
I also really like the back stretch from turn 2 to the hairpin at Morgan Park, a little country circuit near Warwick, 200km SW of Brisbane.

I would like to echo David's sentiments:)

Is there a bad corner at Lakeside? In a Datsun 1600 I guess the Kink, the Karussell, Hungry, and the final turn are all equally brilliant.

And Morgan Park....whoah, I love that place! If only they could get a V8 round there (heck, if it's good enough for Brett Curran's Capri, its probably good enough for truck racing!)

I love the Gold Coast Indy track, and have been around there an unhealthy number of times...

Way to limit this one for me. I've only raced at Wakefield Park.

Oh well...I like the corner at the top of the main section of the circuit mainly cos it is the only one I am doing a proper racing speed at hillclimbs. Except in the extra taily Volvo 440 which is going too fast at any corner which has a bend in it :)

My favorite course without question is Road America, where CART raced yesterday. However, my favorite stretch is the bit between the exit of turn one and the entrance to turn three at Brainerd Intl. (Minnesota, USA). I learned to do turn 2 flat out in a FF1600 and life hasen't been the same since.

Spa, Belgium is AWESOME and is quite simply the best circuit I have ever driven, or was that will ever!
Radillon/Eau Rouge is stomach wrenchingly fantastic.
Pouhon is a challenge.

In UK:
Brands Hatch, UK
Paddock Hill bend (even though they have ruined it by making it more dangerous, by removing the run off)
A righthander with a blind crest, with 30m drop, the wrong camber and a compression before climbing up again.

Cadwell Park, UK
The Gooseneck, a corner leading onto a 1:7 30m hill with a 90deg at base.

Pembrey, UK
Dibeni 1, 2
Multi-apex double left hander.

have to agree. The Gooseneck at Cadwell or Church at Thruxton!

I'm also keen to hear from the rest of the CSCCGB guys.
