Parabolica

Several F1 circuits appear to have bends called Parabolica (for example Monza and believe Estoril) and are translated as such on English F1 sites. If, in the context, it refers to a part of the circuit as opposed to the name of a bend, it could be 'apex'.
Peer comment(s):
agree Gary Smith Lawson : Yes, this is strange but true ;.) Often called "parabolica curve/bend".

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks Derrio, you're right they do seem not to translate the term for certain tracks, I also think apex is a great translation if, as you say, it is not a nombre propio."
