[Fairmont Hairpin: Monaco F1's slowest and most famous corner]

[Fairmont Hairpin | Monaco F1's slowest and most famous corner] — The world's most famous hairpin turn. In front of the Fairmont Hotel, the history of F1 is engraved on the road here— ⸻ 📍 [Location & Access] The intersection of Avenue Princesse Grace and Av. des Spélugues in Monte Carlo, Monaco. This sharp right turn, known as Turn 6, is an iconic spot of the Grand Prix . ⸻ 🏎️ [Technical Features & History] • The slowest corner on the F1 calendar, and according to official documents, the only hairpin in the world that can be passed at less than 46 km/h . • Formerly known as the Loews Curve, it became known as the Fairmont Hairpin after the hotel was renamed . • Located in the continuous section from the top of Mirabeau, this is one of the difficult sections where the speed falls below 80km/h four times in just 400m . ⸻ ✨Recommended points • Symbol of technical challenge: The car is fully locked, and this turn, which is driven at the very limit, is one of the biggest challenges for the drivers. • Best spot to watch: From the "Hairpin Suite" on the 4th floor of the Fairmont Hotel or the terrace seats, you can see the entry, apex, and rise all with your own eyes . • Enjoyable even on a regular basis: Even in the off-season, this is a spot where tourists and F1 fans come to take photos and enjoy the atmosphere. ⸻ 🎒Tips and advice • If you're staying overnight, choose a room with a Hairpin View: The Fairmont has a special room called "Hairpin City View" that overlooks this curve. You can experience the excitement of F1 from your room . • If you want to visit, we recommend early morning or evening: You can take great photos with not only the curves but also the Mediterranean Sea and the cityscape of Monte Carlo in the background. • The atmosphere during the race is overwhelming: You can enjoy the excitement of watching F1 live with a glass of high-class champagne in a suite or on a hotel terrace. #Absolutely free trip #Monaco
