  Hairpin turn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A nearly 180-degree turn in a road, trail, or ramp is called a hairpin turn (also hairpin bend or, if in a trail, a switchback).
These turns are often built when a route climbs up or down a steep slope, so that it can travel mostly across the slope with only moderate steepness, and are often arrayed in a zigzag pattern.
Highways with hairpin turns allow easier, safer ascents and descents of mountainous terrain than a direct, steep climb and descent, at the price of greater distances of travel.

Turn 9 can be taken at full speed (as long as you don't go bonkers cheating on the test) and Turn 10 can be taken with some sliding (provided that you are not willing to touch the grass at either the left or right side of the track).
Turn 2- You may be dizzy as you encounter this turn because you have to deal with the chicanes right after this turn.
Turn 7 should be taken at between 75-80mph and you should make sure that you are cutting the apex, slowing down just before you exit the tunnel, and cutting as you leave the tunnel.

Turn 7: This difficult right-hand corner is on an uphill climb; if there is no traffic in front to provide an idea of where the circuit is, it is virtually impossible to see the layout of the pavement due to the angle of the hill.
Turn 9 (Water Castle): Somewhere between a standard 'J' turn and a hairpin, this is an increasing-radius right-hand corner leading into the final straightaway of the circuit.
Turn 8 (RTL Curve): With the rise in the course entering the left-hand RTL Curve, this appears to be identical to Turn 6 on approach.

Turn 2 ------ If you were able to cut your speed (I recommend releasing the gas pedal and by the time you hit the *slight* straight brake to ~60 mph and do some sliding) as you were taking on the first turn in preparation of this hairpin, then great.
Turn 11 is where you should be doing the worry abouties because you're going to face a fierce left right after the easy right, so be sure that you're slowing down as you are about to finish the easy right but not too early that you're losing control of the car.
Turn 17 ------- This turn can be taken from the left, to the right during the turn, and back into the left (although you should try to position yourself to the right, but that's Turn 18) by braking at a straight line, and sliding throughout this turn.

Another reason that argues against setting a "through" hairpin is that the hairpin (when set "over") serves as a device that effects a transition in the race track, bringing it across the hill.
Setting a hairpin to accomplish what can be accomplished by setting a single open gate is a "waste" of the hairpin.
The reason this is done is to keep the pole clear of racers that may be turning late, and over-shooting the ideal line.
