One corner I know of is named after one of the greatest drivers in the world, the Senna corner.
We lost a great one when he passed... JoeA

AHHH, "The Kink" at RA. A subtle name for a very fast corner.
"The Esses" at The Glen james

AHHH, "The Kink" at RA. A subtle name for a very fast, hairy corner.
"The Esses" at The Glen, need I say more. "Sunset Bend" at Sebring, one of my favourites. James
