It takes a lot to become one of the racing world’s most famous corners. History, difficulty, danger, and spectacle all play a part in cementing a legend.

There’s the Nurburgring’s Karussel, a banked hairpin where the fastest line is paved with bumpy concrete and you look where you’re going through the very top of your windscreen.

There’s Monza’s Parabolica, the long right-hander that an F1 car dives into at 210 mph, not falling below 130 at the apex before blasting out the other side at 180 mph.

There’s Monaco’s Grand Hotel Hairpin, which displays the fastest cars on earth for the fanciest people on earth and has been the site of many a multi-million dollar pile up.

And there’s Eau Rouge at the fearsome and winding Spa-Francorchamps Circuit in Belgium. Let’s let Fernando Alonso describe that one:

— ”You come into the corner downhill, have a sudden change [of direction] at the bottom and then go very steep uphill. From the cockpit, you cannot see the exit and as you come over the crest, you don’t know where you will land. It is a crucial corner for the timed lap, and also in the race, because you have a long uphill straight afterwards where you can lose a lot of time if you make a mistake. But it is also an important corner for the driver’s feeling. It makes a special impression every lap, because you also have a compression in your body as you go through the bottom of the corner. It is very strange – but good fun as well.”

Here’s an on-board view of Kimi Raikkonen having a go:

Looks scary, doesn’t it? A fast, uphill corner where you have to trust that the exit will be in the same place that you remember it being last time. 

How would you feel about going through it side by side with two other cars then? Not good, right, because you have normal self-preservation instincts? Well, not if you’re British GT drivers Callum MacLeod, Glynn Geddie, and Rob Bell you don’t. That’s exactly what they were up to over the weekend. Check this out and watch the Mercedes dance!
