We have many traditional tracks with some great and memorable names that we all know and love.
But what about the newer tracks, with only or mostly corners with numbers??
Suggest a suitable and memorable new name for a corner at your favourite track.
I’ll start with:
Melbourne.
Turn 11/12, the high speed chicane
Brabham 1 and Brabham 2, after sir Jack, ofcourse
Over to you…
1st June 2011, 11:02 at 11:02 am #170587SlrParticipantMy favourite corner already has a name, it’s called the Spoon Curve. Maybe the hairpin prior to Spoon could be called the “Kobayashi Hairpin”.
1st June 2011, 11:09 at 11:09 am #170588f1alexParticipantSome fairly average ones to get started:
Abu Dhabi
T2,3,4
Faux Rouge
(Yeah, It’s been used before but what the hey)
Canada
T10
Kubica’s Hairpin
T12
The Villeneuve
Valencia
T12
Webber Chicane
China T1,2,3
The Snail
(These aren’t my favourite corners, because mine are already named)

Rename “Subida Dos Boxes” to “Glock Curve” or “Hamilton Bend”
can’t really think of anything else.

1st June 2011, 11:43 at 11:43 am #170591AnonymousInactiveIstanbul – Turn 8… “The Octagon”
1st June 2011, 11:56 at 11:56 am #170592TommyBParticipantSingapore Sling – The annihilator
1st June 2011, 16:17 at 4:17 pm #170593KingsharkParticipantMelbourne Turns 11-12 -> “Brabham Esses”
Sepang Turns 12-13 -> “Petronas Esses”
Shangai Turn 7 -> “Curve Hamilton”
Barcelona Turns 7-8 -> “Alonso Chicane”
Montreal Turn 6 -> “Canadian Sweeper”
Hungaroring Turn 3 -> “Mansell V”
Singapore Turn 14 -> “Kubica Harpin”
Suzuka Turn 1 -> “Curve Raikkonen”
Abu Dhabi Turns 2-3 -> “Vettel Arena”
I’ve only revised the corners with no names :)
1st June 2011, 21:41 at 9:41 pm #170594James_mcParticipantNot my favourite but;
Abu Dhabi Turn 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 -> “Set Square corner”
1st June 2011, 22:03 at 10:03 pm #170595Polishboy808ParticipantTurkey Turn 8 – Diabolica (used by US T.V commentators)
Canada Turn 10 – RK Hairpin
Thats all I can come up with.
2nd June 2011, 1:12 at 1:12 am #170596Stephen JonesParticipantValencia T12 – Runway 694
Korea T16, 17, 18 – The Semicircle
Sepang T7, 8 – Degno
Shanghai T13 – Daytona
Catalunya T14, 15 – Horrible
Hungaroring T8 – T13 – RedBull
Abu Dhabi Straight between T7 and T8 – Gunbarrel
2nd June 2011, 1:44 at 1:44 am #170597Prisoner MonkeysParticipantIstanbul’s Turn 8 – “The Haymaker”. A haymaker is a wild, swinging punch that can easily knock out an opponent. The problem is that it throws the attacker themselves compeltely off balance, and leaves them open and very exposed to a counter-attack if they get it wrong.
2nd June 2011, 11:50 at 11:50 am #170598IcthyesParticipantI’d like for the final chicane at Montreal to be named the Canuck Kinks
2nd June 2011, 12:40 at 12:40 pm #170599AndrewTannerParticipantGotta be Turn 8, hands down. As for a name, hmm…
‘Bring fresh underwear’.
2nd June 2011, 12:56 at 12:56 pm #170600electroliteParticipantHa! PM if we’re going to turn to wrestling moves for corner names then there’s so many badass candidates for Turn 8. Like the Stone Cold Stunner or the Tombstone Piledriver.
