I thought I'd start a thread on names on racetracks. I was wondereing which driver's (or other F1 personalities) bits of tracks had been named after. I was wondering if Lewis had one? Turns out he has, and Murray Walker and Brundle http://www.motorsportvision.co.uk/news/ ... ewsID=6492 has Vettel got one? Which is your favourite? I mean by name not by how good it is to race on. I like the Senna esses, has a ring to it.

Eau Rouge...Pouhon, both badass corners in Spa. Unique names too.

130R? Weird name but it works

Parabolica, another of my favourites.

I love Eau Rouge and Parabolica, Rascass too! Pouhon makes me laugh! But I was thinkin of ones named after drivers?

They need a gambon corner .

I was just going to say the most infamous corner in the world is Gambon.

The Adelaide street circuit has named the chicane at turn one Senna chicane.

Not exactly the name of a corner, but 'Wall of Champions'...in Canada.

No. The Hamilton Street Circuit is called that because it is in a place called Hamilton (South Island in New Zealand)

Link doesn't work for me.....weird

Its a Norfolk track that has recently undergone development. They're saying it's now the best for spectators and for drivers. Who knows? maybe we'll get the European race there

[SennaVille]

The Lesmos always gives me a giggle, but I'm immature like that

[scotty]

Loads of tracks have Senna corners it seems. Nurburgring has the Schumacher chicane (i think it's the chicane). Erm... Brands Hatch has several, eg Graham Hill bend. Was it Adelaide that had Brabham Straight? I'm struggling off the top of my head...

BTW i hate that new Snetterton layout... the old circuit was brilliant and they've Tilke-fied it.

I know it's not a F1 track but apparently Jaime Alguesuari has a corner named after him!
