hairpin

[RotaryPower]

ive heard the term hairpin used many times. when i think of it, im not 100% sure wut a hairpin turn is. wut kind of turn is it exactly?

very sharp turn in a road shaped like a "hairpin"

usually tighter radius turns that come around 180 degrees give or take are usually referred to as hairpins.

actually its a long straight followed by a sharp decreasing radius U and then followed by a series of esses or chicanes. Drawn out it looks just like a hairpin. J/p

edit due to re-edit edit

what he said, and all turns are not alike or should be treated the same...unless it's nascar where you can only turn left

I think I'm faster when I drive normal-apex style. When I try to drive late apex, it's a lot safer, but it slows me down a lot.
