Circuit Characteristics
(6)Setup
Power Circuit
Long straights favor cars with strong power unit performance and low drag setups.
straightsOver600m >= 2 OR longestStraightM >= 1000Setup
Balanced Setup
Mix of corners and straights requires compromise between downforce and drag.
6 <= (cornersSlow + cornersMedium) <= 11 AND (cornersFast + cornersFlat) >= 3 AND straightsOver600m >= 12026
Heavy Regen Potential
Multiple heavy braking zones (>4G) maximize energy recovery under 2026 MGU-K rules.

Active Aero Advantage
Multiple long straights allow significant gains from 2026 active aerodynamics system.

Low Tyre Degradation
Minimal tyre wear allows aggressive strategies with fewer pit stops.
