Invictus [F1] Round 1: Chinese Grand Prix - 28th June 2017

IRL F1 World Championship
Round 1
Chinese Grand Prix








Invictus Racing League enters it's second season and begins in Asia. The Chinese Grand Prix, designed by Hermann Tilke is held at Shanghai International Circuit, Jiading, Shanghai. The Shanghai International Circuit was designed to maximise spectator viewing and racing excitement. The track itself is tight and technical with fast speeds and it is one of the few tracks with overtaking opportunities. It has an equal number of right and left-handers, a good mix of corner types, from long sweeps to tight hairpins and a number of straights. The longest straight is over 1km and provides the most obvious overtaking opportunity, driving behind a competitor, it is possible to slipstream along the 1km stretch and get alongside before making a move. Due to the mixed characteristics, the teams look for downforce and mechanical grip for the slower bends, whilst ensuring maximum speed on the long straights. The general consensus after the debut race was that the Shanghai International Circuit is technically demanding from a set-up perspective and also quite tough physically.

Pole - Mike, Fastest Lap - Craig, Race Winner - Craig, Podium - Mike and Malc

What are your hopes for this season?
Same as last season really, just have some fun. I should be able to attend every race this season at least :)

After last season who is your favourite for the Driver's Title?
I recon Craig. He came 2nd last season and I think he could go one better this season.

What are your thoughts of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix?
Absolutely crazy. I loved it. One of my favourite F1 races I think.
I'm probably better at Rocket League tbh

Predictions - Pole, Fastest Lap, Race Winner, Podium?
Pole - rdh0500, Fastest Lap - xMikexSI, Race Winner - Sambamkid, Podium - Shortbread & Miles.

What are your hopes for this season?
Just to continue having good respectful racing on site. A top 3 finish in the driver's championship would be nice, but shortbread, yarhamm and sambamkid are all very quick drivers and could be hard to beat.

After last season who is your favourite for the Driver's Title?
It's a tough one but I think it will be between Sambamkid, Shortbread and Yarhamm.

What are your thoughts of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix?
It's going to make the Driver's Championship more spicy. F1 has lacked characters for a while and it needs some animosity between drivers.
