Right... so! Chicanes. Corners meant to slow down race cars some time. They’re rather inelegant for the most part, but you will have to choose between these.

Les Combes, Spa-Francorchamps

Casio Triangle, Suzuka Circuit

Piscine-2, Circuit de Monaco

Now go vote!

I got a better answer: the 3 chicanes at Monza

Apart from Ascari, no. All the nopes.

Les Combes doesn’t even feel like a chicane, so I’m going with that one, but Suzuka’s cool because of the way the track goes off camber and downhill on exit.

I’m going Monaco. Because it’s a chaotic course on the street, so a couple of 90-degrees around a pool isn’t out of character. It’s not contrived like the other two.

There are two very famous chicanes in the states that immediately come to mind.

Of the choices, definitely Les Combes, but out of all of them I’d take Ascari at Monza followed by the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca.

It’s funny how the “most famous corner in North America” that everyone talks about and wants every racing series to use is a chicane.....

A chicane that features a big drop in elevation and makes you experience multi-directional g-forces in less than a second.
