IRL F1 World Championship
Round 6 (RE-RUN)
USA Grand Prix
Round 6 of the Invictus Performance League, hosted in Belgium, finished in controversy and has resulted in the governing body deciding to re-run Round 6. The Circuit of the Americas has been chosen to host this week's race.
The Circuit of the Americas is a really interesting engineering challenge consisting of fast corners, a long straight and a slow-speed section; getting the compromise right between these different challenges is the key to maximising performance. Sector 1 is very fast and flowing, through which the car needs a very good front end which is followed by a heavy braking area and it’s absolutely essential to get that right. Even though you may have set up the car for the high-speed section, you need to make sure that it has the rear stability to allow the driver to attack the low-speed corners. It’s a classic compromise that’s difficult to get right.
The Circuit of the Americas is an incredibly unique track, Turn 1 is steeper than Raidillon at Spa as it climbs more quickly in a shorter distance, and the complex fast-flowing turns, along with Maggots-Beckett-Chapel at Silverstone and the Esses in Suzuka, it is one of the best sections of track of the season.
