Turn 8 at Istanbul is probably my favourite corner. There was something so satisfying about it on F1 C.E and 2011 when you took it flat out.

Would have agreed with you ten years ago. But Eau Rouge has been diluted somewhat. Still spectacular to watch an F1 car there, but Becketts is something else - the cars are really on edge. That said, I haven't seen a car there in the turbo hybrid era - probably not as impressive any more.

+AleXcr86 Agreed. The downforce has changed a lot of the track since the late 80's and taken all the thrill out of them. I remember when a F1 driver, don't remember who it was, said "I wish I could take Eu Rouge flat out..". Well, now they do.. and I agree it's not the same. Although it's subjective, the Spa track has always been my favourite. It's fast, it's technical and you can overtake on it. In Britain, my favourite it Brands Hatch. It's just something about that track and I don't get the same feeling when I watch races on Silverstone. Donington is really cool as well.

The way these cars corner is amazing. Imagine the shit going through these peoples heads. Ok, so i gotta make this gnarly turn going 160-180 mph in this extremely brittle and light supermachine that'll possibly cost both my life and my paycheck in tandem.
This complex is beautiful to watch the high D/F cars go through when your there track side. To this day i still remember watching schumi go through it in 03. Beautiful complex.

Amazing...watching this really gives me second thoughts when talking about less downforce on the cars!!! This can only be happening because of extreme downforce...no mechanical grip can cover for this! High speed, means high downforce = extreme grip! And these are brilliant highspeed cornes! Love them! In hair pins they pull around 1.7-8 g's or so, but here its 5+! I belive 6+ was measured on "fumes" at Copse in practice! And I have no reason not to believe it!

Properly speaking, the Eau Rouge corner is only the left-hander at the bottom. The following right-hander that leads steeply uphill, which was introduced in 1939 to shortcut the original hairpin "Ancienne Douane", is called "Raidillon".

Eau Rouge/Radillion is awesome, and it certainly takes balls to go through there flat out at 190+ mph like they do these days. But I think that the Maggotts/Becketts complex takes more skill. To not only take the right line through the corner(s), but to also be on the alert for any under/oversteer that might be building as you have the tyres at the absolute limit of cohesion for the entire time you're going through the complex. Whereas with Eau Rouge/Radillion, you know you can take it flat-out.

Without a doubt this is one of the greatest corners in the world - if you've never seen an F1 car go through it from maggots or chapel, or of course actually driven through it at real race speeds yourself, then you're negative comments are irrelevent - TV does not do it justice. It's also technically more challenging than the spectacular Eau Rouge or 130R, with extremely high speed direction changes that are challenging in either tin tops or single seaters. All three corners are awesome however!

I had the same thought! The last 10 years it has been easy flat out! I still believe it will be flat out this year: The engines are limited to 18.000 RPM! So there's a drop in power that will set a limit of how much speed the cars can build up from the La-Source hairpin down to Eau-rouge! And combined with the slicks I think it will be flat, but maybe not as easy as previous years. With the small rear wing, we could se some nervous cars, and some slides!

Also, Becketts doesn't even dump onto a long straight, so you don't even push it to the rumble strips on the exit. Knowing this, they don't even take the corner as fast as they could.

Turn 8 at Istanbul is hardly a challenge when there's a mile of tarmac run off if you get it wrong. In modern F1 Pouhon at Spa is probably the best, and the Lesmo's at monza are pretty cool, as is Ascari chicane. Tabac and the first part of the Swimming Pool at Monaco are a sight to behold as well. Many of the once great corners aren't so good anymore with the smoother tarmac, larger run off areas etc.

Although, I know it's too short and the locals complain and it's really just too small for F1 now, it's still awesome.

You have to watch a car through Becketts with your own eyes before you can fully appreciate it. I've watched modern F1 cars through Becketts and through Eau Rouge, and while Eau Rouge is visually more jaw-dropping, I'm quite certain a car is never more on-the-limit than it is through Becketts (it was better in the V10 era; recently cars have had too little power, too much grip). I think in 2009 Becketts is really going to stake a claim to being one of the most challenging corners in F1 again.
