Interlagos - a Formula One set-up guide

[Upinsmoke]

Interlagos is a circuit of contrasting extremes, combining slow hairpins with one of the longest straights of the season. Sitting in a natural bowl, it undulates throughout its 4.309-kilometre length, and is notorious for its bumpy surface - although this has improved with resurfacing in recent years. The physical demands of the bumpy circuit are intensified by the fact that it runs anti-clockwise, subjecting the drivers' necks to the opposite loadings experienced at a normal clockwise track.It's a circuit where overtaking is possible, particularly on the entry to Turn One, and the set-up compromise therefore tends to favour straight-line speed over optimum lap time, to ensure the drivers can make up positions, and defend them, during the 71-lap race.
