Track Trivia:
This is basically a new track so it will change the whole weekend and is still unpredictable. If there is rain between practice and the race, hold on, things are going to get fun.
Engines are a problem here because of the long front stretch. Drivers like to get into the gas coming out of Turn 4 and blow things up. Watch for cars to come on the track very low to the surface.
Fuel windows are about 65 laps. Teams will get 4 tires in the start of the race to adjust the car. As the race gets longer look for them to get 2 tires or maybe just gas. Keeping track position becomes very important toward the end of the race.
Where is the trouble? There is only one groove here and it's at the bottom of the track. Side by side racing will take some time to develop so there isn't much passing here yet. When it gets hot look for Turns 2 and 4 for the crashes.
