Setup

Power Circuit

Long straights favor cars with strong power unit performance and low drag setups.

Setup

High Downforce

Technical layout with many slow/medium corners rewards aerodynamic grip over top speed.

(cornersSlow + cornersMedium) >= 12 AND straightsOver600m <= 1
2026

Heavy Regen Potential

Multiple heavy braking zones (>4G) maximize energy recovery under 2026 MGU-K rules.

Deployment Critical

Many acceleration zones from slow corners make battery deployment strategy crucial.

Strategy

Moderate Tyre Degradation

Balanced tyre wear - strategy flexibility between one and two stops.
