Circuit character
Austin's greatest-hits circuit borrows Suzuka's esses, Hockenheim's stadium and Istanbul's multi-apex T16-18, all launched off a blind 41-metre climb to Turn 1. Bumps and a wide racing line keep the racing two-abreast.
Where the passes happen
- ▸T12 after the 1.2 km back straight
- ▸T1 uphill hairpin: wide entry, many lines
- ▸the esses exit run onto zone one
