Notes
About as Tilke-dromey as it gets. With more 90 degree corners than you can poke a stick at this place only has 2 corners that put a Formula One car through its paces, turns 2 and 3. It's pretty much a turd with lights.
It's quite a low deg circuit, so the option tyre lasts quite well, which makes it a feasible race tyre. So the optimal strategy is either a 1 stop (option, prime) or a two stop (option, option, prime).
- It's a track that rewards late braking, so having the brake bias more towards the front is helpful for a good lap.
- Traction out of turns 9, 13 and 20 is crucial.
- I believe I've found a good compromise between downforce, and straight line speed and gearing with this setup.
This setup should allow for around 17-21 laps from a set of fresh options, and 25-31 laps from a set of fresh primes.
