Chicane
- A chicane is a sequence of tight serpentine curves (usually an S-shape curve) in a roadway, used in auto racing and on city streets to slow cars. These are usually located after long straightaways, so that they are one of the best spots for overtaking in modern racing. Die-hard fans criticise FIA for destroying the track's spirit by inserting chicanes in critical places.
- A "Mobile Chicane" is a term given to a driver (usually a backmarker) who can't move out of the way of the front-runners quickly enough when he is about to be lapped (despite repeated showing of blue flag) and thus holds up the driver and creates problems (and sometimes cost valuable championship points, podiums and victories) for the driver behind. Andrea de Cesaris was notorious for being such a "mobile chicane".
- The name also is used by Chicane (recording artist) a U.K. dance music act.
