Best Answer

A sharp left-right or right-left turn. This is supposed to increase overtaking opportunities but in fact reduces them because chicanes usually force cars racing side-by-side to go one after the other. They are often added to wiggly tracks when speeds get too fast for the the owners or drivers e.g. at Le Mans.
