Too Afraid to Ask

“Bus stop” is a tight corner area on some tracks. Drivers have to brake hard and be precise because the car goes from fast to slow quickly.

Technical Definition

“Bus stop” refers to a specific chicane-style corner sequence used at several circuits, including Le Mans. It’s typically a tight, late-braking section that tests braking consistency and traction as the car transitions from high speed to low speed.
