Track Introduction

First of all, the starting process of the event will be a very interesting racing situation. When the race director approves the starting status of all cars, a signal will be displayed on the starting line, and the cars will officially start racing.

In Turn 1, you will witness multiple cars approaching this corner at extremely high speeds at the same time. As early as 1999, we recorded a Porsche reaching a speed of 290 km/h at the end of the straight. Now, we have reason to believe that the speed here will be close to 300 kilometers per hour or higher.

Turn 4 is a difficult and fast left-hand turn, and it is also a corner where there is an opportunity for overtaking. When the vehicle passes through Turn 3 at high speed, all drivers will brake as late as possible and enter this turn in a competition of courage.

Turns 9 and 10 are also left-hand turns. The situation in Turn 9 is roughly the same as that in Turn 4, but since the turn is immediately followed by a short straight to Turn 10, the driver is in a variety of situations here. The racers coming out of Turn 9 have to try to ensure that they have the most favorable fighting terrain before entering Turn 10. If there are other opponents behind you who are ready to try, it will bring certain difficulties to get the best corner entry position after exiting the 10th corner.

Turn 14, this is the turn where vehicles return to the grandstand and in front of the pit stop. It is also the fastest turn on the entire track. Here you should only brake very lightly, then exit the corner very smoothly, and then use the big kick mentioned above to refuel, all the way through the grandstand, and finally reach the highest speed in the entire race when reaching Turn 1. .

This is a uniquely designed, safe and high-speed track. Amenities
