Next is the infamous turn 3 or R3. Infamous I say since this is one turn where several bad accident happen in Sentul. Both for two wheels and four wheels. A friend of mine badly injured when he crashed with Ducati Superbike in this very turn. I also had tasted the R3 asphalt when I highsided entering R3 early in 2008.
Just before entering R3 is the second longest straight in Sentul. So the speed coming to R3 is about as fast as the speed coming to R1, but not like R1, right after R3 the dreaded -cement patch- and tight R4 awaits…
