I'd say the hairpin has the most spins and offs. People get carried away and are more likely to breach the limits at low speed.
Usually end up ploughing on the infield. :)

Next is probably exiting the chicane (only place I've spun IIRC, kept it on the track). :thumbsup

Duffus probably the largest consequence of an off.
Saying that, although rare, it's possible to spin on the pit straight (standing water or just getting light on the crests) and none I've seen have ended well...

Impact was technically the straight after mass-in-tyres. It takes a special talent to crash on the straight. [FLUSHED FACE]

Yeh remember hearing about that, I taking the Michael out of myself given it was the straight I went off on between McIntyres and Butchers. Bone dry, lovely day so I have no excuses whatsoever, well I do but..........

OK then since you asked, there must've been some oil or coolant on the kerb at the corner............... that's my excuse. Even the marshall went to look at the kerb, I must've made it look like there was even if there wasn't. :lol:
