A chicane is a section of sharp turns designed to slow cars down in the middle of a long straight. Chicanes are typically a left-right-left or right-left-right combination, but sometimes consist of only two corners (also known as a “dogleg”). The “Festival Turns” (turns 1-3) at Portland International Raceway is an example of a chicane.
