- The circuit in the south
of Sao Paulo in Brazil is the first of the South American circuits
visited and is one of the drivers' favorites despite having a
very bumpy surface. It's also one of the only circuits where
the cars run counter-clockwise. This is quite hard on the neck
muscles and results in fatigue very quickly. It is also a demanding
circuit when it comes to the chassis and mechanics, with its
complete range of bends that are hard on the brakes and its uneven
surface. Also, there is the full speed uphill incline to the
pits and the altitude of placement of the whole circuit. A well-set-up
car should have a comprimise between ride height and suspension.
