It's a hilly, twisty track that puts tires under considerable constraints all-lap long. Sector 1, for example, includes two heavy braking zones into Turns 1 and 4, and big demands are made of the rear-right accelerating out of Turn 3. The next sector's sequence of corners puts the emphasis on the mechanical grip provided by all four slicks and the last sector is tough on the rear-right once more, with a lengthy period of hard acceleration combined with a long climb from Turn 12 to the finish line.
