Tamburello (infamous race track corner)

Tamburello is the name of a notoriously difficult curve (too narrow, so if the cars have something go wrong, not a lot of space to get out of it) at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari racing circuit near the Italian town of Imola, which became renown after the death of famous Formula 1 champion Ayrton Senna who crashed head-on into the concrete barrier after exiting the curve at high speed on May 1, 1994.

It is considered to be the circuit's signature feature. Since the deaths of Aryton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger(albeit in the Villenueve corner), however, the Tamburello has undergone significant modification (along with most of the track) for reasons of safety. But some enthusiasts have complained that the changes have diminished the circuit's character.
