The twisting, blind, undulating corners, that are taken at over 200 km/h and within centimetres of large unforgiving concrete walls.
'What a rush, this place is madness' they say.
However, few have experienced a jump in their heart rate like Albury emerging Supercar driver Jordan Boys did last year when a rear tyre blew out at 275 km/h, pitching the car into a full spin approaching the fastest corner in Australian motorsport, The Chase, at the bottom of Conrod Straight.
"I was clocked at 269 km/h - backwards - through the speed trap, it's not an achievement that I really wanted to list in my career," Boys said.
"It all happened really fast. I hurt my wrists trying to catch it, but I did a full 360 before hitting the wall.
"I was just worried about going into the sand trap sideways and rolling - a few guys have done that before and it's a big crash.
"But thankfully I'd washed off enough speed and the trap just pulled me up, but it was a pretty big moment."

Boys had driven an outstanding race by that point.
Starting back in the pack, he was on track for a top-five finish and had been putting in some of the fastest laps of anyone in the race.
He returns to Mount Panorama next weekend for his third tilt at driving a Supercar at the iconic location.
"I feel really good about heading back there," Boys said.
"We had a good test on Tuesday at Winton and it was really positive with the changes we've made to the car.
"It's hard to set expectations at a place like Bathurst, I guess I'd really like to be in the top-five, but I just go there hoping to get good consistent event under my belt."
After showing good promise in his first full year in Super 2 last year, Boys has had a tougher year in 2019, but is confident that his Image Racing Team has given him a good car and it's now up to him to maximise it.
"Last year, I kept working up to it over the weekend, but this year I'd like to get on the front foot straight away to try and tame the mountain a little bit.
"We are in a much better place this year with where the car is leading into the event," Boys said.
"Last year I felt like the car wanted to kill me at times, but I don't think we'll have that this year."
The Super 2 cars take to the track for a single 250-kilometre race on Saturday afternoon.
As well as being the category's longest race of the year, it's also the only race of the year where drivers have to make a pit stop, which throws in a few challenges of its own and allows the teams to strategise more than in a normal Super 2 race.
