How fast have you guys taken on Devil's Bend?
-
Devil's bend is at Old Upper Thomson Road right?
Lower Pierce Reservoir there?
I went to visit it last night and tried a the corners..
Would like to ask those fast drivers, how fast can we actually tackle the bends..
the max i went round those curves was 75.. the long stretch.. 110-125 -
tt time i went there, i stay constant speed 60 to 80..cuz mind is auto gear, cannot use gear to play..somemore my front wheel alignment slightly gone..so dare not play..wait till my car is done...i'll take it once more time..Originally posted by zerocool85:Devil's bend is at Old Upper Thomson Road right?

yea .... the devil's bend was used last time as part of a racing track .... from wat i hav heard its called the devil's bend because many racers crash their ride and get killed while trying to past that corner ....Originally posted by Lance_han:maybe tat's y, but the devil's bend used to be part of an old race track for F1, not sure le.. -
That bend.. i tried before 90km/h.. its dam freaking hard turn.. seriously don try it if u are not sure with your car..Originally posted by zerocool85:my car still new and don wan ram accelerator yet.. but im very confident of bringing myself up to 90-120 round those bends.. wanna get some struts installed.. don dare to go faster also.. going for cheap thrill.. i got no guts to go too fast also.. heh..

and for TP cameras.. i think they installed a few.. I last saw them installed one at a bus stop.. You know bus stop has those banners by JCDecaux? they plant it on top of them. -
anyway that stretch of road is pretty dangerous alos in the sense that you can't see the traffuc coming towards you once you approach a bend.
i took my new car at about 60km/h in board day light and tat's it cos it was already nerve wrecking liao... -
U try b4 then u will know the speed u say is quite impossible..not car no good, not u no skill, not ur tire no grip....its the bloody fucking rd surface there...some part got sands,pebbles,got grow those green colour (dunno call moss or algay)Originally posted by F Bunta:I have not tried it yet, but 120-140 should not be a problem if I could do a 4 wheel drift there.
i personelly tried there max 110km/h round bends, the last heavy right bend was bout 80-90km/h but tat time was following friend....
anythink above that should be quite unsafe cos i ever bang broken 2 small tree, lamp-post slanted & vehicle into ditch & hv to be tow out..resulting a claim of $13,000.....
Friend civic also get a $7000 claim there b4...
hopefully those that wan to really go past 100km/h hv gd tires & skills, cos its to pull back or veer back vehicle jus in case of the rd surface condition....
You Are At Your Own Warrenty...
Careful there...i really hate that place. -
okay.. if you gotta die, please die without wiping anyone out with you?

cuz after playing abit worry sia.. haha.. but i believe speed cameras = 2 type..
1 held by tp/police.. (will be able to see them with yellow vest and obvious locations)
1 stationary with flash.. (this one is compulsory for them to give public warning)
anyway, wasnt going vry fast also.. -
I've friends who cycle n jog there, even at night. Do what you want with your car, but please spare a tot for their family

Didn't remember my speed...should be quite fast.. till the near immposible happen... i'm driving a front wheel drive car..and the whole rear tires lost traction...and was drifting.. car was turning and looking straight at the tree while turning the corner.. after that me and friend inside the car stunt..ball shrink to dunno what..and we just go slowly..for the whole scretch after that..no body talk a single word...
While the car behind me not so lucky..he ram straight into the tree at devil bend... was too stunt to notice anything..till when i compete the bend than the third tell me.. the second car.. crush into the tree...
Happening nitze overall.. couldn't stop laughing... lol.. seeing friend's car crush into tree...and his super sad face...
But ever since the incident.. we no longer went there anymore.. -
hmm.. don worry.. i usually there at 3am.. don think they'll jog at that time?Originally posted by fondue:I've friends who cycle n jog there, even at night. Do what you want with your car, but please spare a tot for their family -

Try this
the little star is the middle of devil's bend -
Was in my boss' car dat day when he was driving dere. even wif e car moving quite slowly, 40-50, can feel a lot of loose rocks/gravel on e road. imagine gg e blind corner at high speeds, most cars' weight distribution and/or traction isn't good enough to compensate n is likely to bang lamp post like so many others before them..
