From Corner to Legend

What makes a corner unforgettable?

Some corners in motorsports have become almost as famous as the circuits themselves:

Eau Rouge and Raidillon at Spa. The Corkscrew at Laguna Seca. Parabolica at Monza.

Mention one to a racing fan and chances are they don’t simply picture a bend in a piece of asphalt. They picture a car or motorcycle moving through it. They remember a pass, a mistake, a qualifying lap, a photograph, or perhaps the first time they experienced it themselves. That’s an extraordinary amount of identity for a piece of pavement to acquire.

It raises a question I think about constantly as we work through the vision for Charlotte International Circuit: What makes a corner memorable?
