A BALANCE CHECK AT FULL VOLUME.
BARCELONACircuit de Barcelona-Catalunya
Barcelona exposes the car as much as the driver. The long corners give you time to see who is comfortable, and who is hanging on.

Where the lap is won. And lost.
TURN 1
Use the straight.
The main straight leads to the first braking opportunity. A good run can force a decision before the corner.
TURN 3
Hold the line.
The long right-hander is a clear test of balance. Watch how confidently each car carries speed.
THE RETURN
Join it together.
High- and low-speed demands share the same lap. The quick car needs more than one good corner.
Barcelona, on your clock.
