The importance of Eau Rouge is often touted, but how about the double apex Pouhon? I know simulators differ a lot from reality, but at least with different F1 games I've played taking Eau Rouge, the challenge is not the technique but the feeling: you dont see the track. Once you learn how to do it you do it constantly. Still it feels great.
Instead, Pouhon looks and feels dull but I can't drive it with maximum speed lap after lap. I checked some Belgian Preview issues but couln't find anything said about Pouhon. So, is it an obligatory part between other curves or is it actually some lesser know diamond that requires special talent?
Pouhon, easy or challenging?

Ive never understood why Eau Rouge gets so much credit. Yes its a fantastic corner but so is Stavelot, Pouhon, Blanchamont.

Why is this thread here? It seems I was misunderstood - the point was is the Pouhon curve REALLY challenging or not. As you guess, I haven't been driving it in reality, that's why the sim part. This is like to go to your brothers wedding to a wrong church!
