Turkey (Istanbul Park) - Turn 8
4.48 G
Turn 8 has 4 apexes and on second apex lateral G reaches 4.48, it's almost equal to braking force (4.5 - 5G's).
And drivers feel this pressure along 7 seconds!
Apex speeds:
1. 270km/h (3.68G)
2. 270km/h (4.48G)
3. 260km/h (4.28G)
4. 280km/h (2.64G)

Edit: The topic has been changed by mods. It was actually about G Forces. But it doesn't matter. We can go on this way...

Re: Best Corner in F1 2008
shouldnt be any different considering at such high speeds the aero would be providing so much downforce the tyres would have huge amount of gripFergie1 wrote:I can't wait to see turn 8 without TC.maltafan wrote:Istanbul's Turn 8 is a gem for us to see.
Re: Best Corner in F1 2008
lol you really hate him
But i guess the turn 10 on bahrain will be funny, is really hard to break and accelerate again.
Yes, Massa will spin there

Re: Best Corner in F1 2008
From that list, voted for Ascari at Monza. It has to be Monza - with very little downforce for the drivers to rely on - that'll be the most exciting GP this year to watch.
Re: Best Corner in F1 2008
Although its not like it used to be Eau Rouge still requires respect.
Watch it this year, no TC could make it interesting on the exit.
Other corners...
130r (old version), plus Dengas 1 & 2 at Suzuka
oops its not its turn this year is it!

Find the line, the speed will come.
