Track Trivia:
Racing here is very fast due to the great grip of the asphalt. 200 mph is the norm. However, it's hard on engines because of the high end torque needed to run fast here. Tires are a big problem here and probably the worst track for Goodyear. Cars run so fast, there is so much grip and the downforce is so much that the tires really get abused. Changing tires when the get the chance is the best thing to do.
Where is the trouble? Exiting Turn 4 is a big problem here because it's very tight here and the entrance to pit road is there also.
