    Incredible corner. Practically another Copps corner, but it has no name. Like Bob Varsha saidk Turn 8 at Turkey just wont do. Anybody no any good names? Im a bit lax on my Turkish knowledge, except the Grand Prix is in the nation's capital Istanbul.

    How about SEKIZ or DONUM NOKTASI SEKIZ ?

    Sekiz is eight in Turkish.
    Donum noktasi sekiz is turning point eight in Turkish.

    Perhpas "FARAS", it is the Turkish word for dustpan. As many drivers get swept off the track it seems fitting.

    You beat me to it. I believe the Speed guys called it "Michael's weak spot".

    Ron, Constanturnoble is absolutely brilliant!

    Clever, though.

    Eventually, they can change it to Isturnbul. :D

    Yes, you are right, thank you. It was late, and the vodka nightcap had long taken its course. If I were drinking ouzo, I would not have made the mistake, but alas, I was out of that high test beverage.

    Since (probably) the most notorious curve in Suzuka is called the Spoon, maybe this one, with its four "apices", should be called the Crooked Spoon?

    Or, since every time you think you're done with the curve, another apex seems to pop up, the Neverending Story?
