Well, I prefer the whole experience of being able to let lose and go full tilt. It's hard to say what I love more but the esses and the chcanes are really fun

No such thing as a "fast" chicane really, in definition it's essentially the opposite of that.

Esses in general tend to be a lot more "fast".

Both are fun, but I probably enjoy esses more.

Monza before they added the double chicane.

I tend to agree, although bus stop chicanes like the ones at the Glen and Daytona are pretty fast and can create some headaches if you come in too hot.

I do prefer the esses. There's something great about wondering if the car is going to hold the track as you add a few more mph each lap. And I think one of the most enjoyable stretches of track in the US is the Esses at Road Atlanta.

the chicanes at Enna Pergusa are very fast and very insane since they use stacked tires to mark the chicanes

That big/fast a chicane borders on esses, doesn't it?
