ESPNF1: Sochi is getting ready

Not sure I like the Omega-shaped structure - seems to me it'll work like a chicane on steroids.

Looks fast!

Fingers crossed it's a good one.

[andrew]

Looks like it will be without character.

What's with all the 90 degree slow turns? and one right before the straight straight to boot! Maybe one I can see but there are 4 of them plus at least one other that can be so considered! WTF streets of Manhattan?

Haha you think I don't remember that show? I DO!
Yeah maybe SF is an even worse idea than Manhattan. It would be half hillclimb, and this would be the chicane:

I've actually driven down on Lombard Street years ago - the corners are tighter than a nun's arse, I'm telling you!

[Jabberwocky]

it would be different, but overtaking could be an issue

So...how tight is a nun's arse anyway DD?

As tight as you think it is.

Mythbusters tried to take a bread van down it.

[madbrad]

Lombard street not the nun's butt.

[darwin dali]

And? Did they succeed? And how did the nun take it?

I think they got to the bottom safely, eventually, but it wasn't about whether they could do that, I forget what the myth being tested was, but it might have been the one about delivering a package using only left turns wherther it saves gas or time or something like that. Specifically it was a delivery van like a UPS one. The myth actually had nothing to do with Lombard St.
