The use of artful subterfuge, designed to draw away attention from the merits of a case or question; -- specifically applied to legal proceedings; trickery; chicanery; caviling; sophistry.
To use shifts, cavils, or artifices.
A quick succession of sharp, slow turns, usually intended to reduce straightaway speeds.
Tight bend introduced into a road system to reduce vehicle speeds.
A man-made corner set up to reduce speed at a certain point on a road track.
A series of sharp, slow turns designed to reduce speed at a certain point on the track, like after a straightaway.
A tight combination of corners inserted into a straight on a racing circuit. Supposed to slow down the cars.
A quick left - right "S-turn" at the top of the back straightaway designed to slow drivers down before they reach the Off Camber. A corner typically performed in 3rd gear and with the proper setup can be transitioned into the Off Camber in smooth motion. Choku-Dori (aka Chaku-Dari) A commonly misused term in the United States. Oftentimes used to describe a side to side, swaying drift typically used on straightaways (aka Manji), but is really a long sliding drift through a braking zone.
A tight sequence of corners in alternate directions, such as in an S-shape. Usually inserted into a circuit to slow down the cars, often just before a high-speed corner or straightaway.
a movable barrier used in motor racing; sometimes place before a dangerous corner to reduce speed as cars pass in single file
defeat someone in an expectation through trickery or deceit
a section of sharp turns designed to slow cars down in the middle of a long straight
a series of very tight corners in alternate directions, typically constructed at circuits to slow the cars
a street racing game that lets players race on the streets of cities like San Francisco
Series of fixed objectsusually extensions of the curbthat alter a straight roadway into a zig-zag or serpentine path to slow vehicles.
A corner generally, but not always added by afterthought, intended to reduce speed for the sake of safety at an otherwise high-speed point on a road track. Could also be intended to simply add a challenge to an otherwise boring section of track.
A combination of three to five closed gates in quick succession in the slalom event.
A tight succession corners in opposite directions.
A quick succession of opposite-direction turns, usually intended to reduce excessively-high straightaway speeds.
A tight sequence of corners in alternate directions. The purpose is usually to slow the cars.
A quick left - right / right - left "S-turn" usually placed onto straightaways in order to slow drivers down before they reach slower corners. Choku-Dori (aka Chaku-Dari) A commonly misused term in the United States. Oftentimes used to describe a side to side, swaying drift typically used on straightaways (aka Manji), but is really a long sliding drift through a braking zone.
A corner designed to reduce speed at a specific point on a road course, usually near the beginning or end of a long straight.
An artificial series of turns on a straight track, in road racing events, that are marked by pylons or temporary curbs.
A tight combination of two corners in opposite direction. Most of the time slow and with curbes.
A tight sequence of corners in alternate directions. Usually inserted into a circuit to slow the cars, often just before what had been a high-speed corner.
A chicane (originally meaning subterfuge) is a sequence of tight serpentine curves (usually an S-shape curve or a bus stop) in a roadway, used in motor racing and on city streets to slow cars. These are usually located after long straightaways, so that they are one of the best spots for overtaking in modern racing.
