Turn 8

Post by <T-K> » Tue Aug 30, 2005 6:37 am

The new Istanbul Park circuit was well received by the drivers, who reckoned it was a tough challenge.

One corner in particular caught their attention ? the never-ending, high-speed turn eight.

As is the fashion with modern circuits, the corners were designated simply by turn number rather than name; but I reckoned such a keen piece of racetrack deserved better, so I am asking for your suggestions, what should turn eight be renamed(if it were up to us of course)

Considering how some of the drivers felt after the Turkish GP, here's my suggestion..."the neckwrencher".
The Sci-Fi Station Come by and visit when you get the chance. :)
The Wayward Tarheel I'm even in the blogosphere.... :shock:

How about Schumacher corner. The g-forces are two strong for the drivers to look in their side vision mirrors.
Ok, Lewis may win the WDC in 07, but Sato will beat him in 08.
