Where the lap is won. And lost.

THE OPENING RUN

Find the braking point.

The main straight leads into the opening sequence. The lap quickly moves from a long run to a busy set of corners.

02

THE MIDDLE SECTION

Keep the rhythm.

The circuit follows much of its historic outline. The direction changes lead the cars towards the stadium.

03

THE STADIUM

Take in the view.

The modern layout threads through the former baseball stadium before returning to the pit straight.
