Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez GP Circuit w/Foro Sol CW Notes:
The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is a 2.36-mile (3.79-km) road course located right in the heart of Mexico City, inside the Magdalena Mixhuca Sports City, an Olympic Park built for the 1968 Summer Olympics. The FIA Grade 1 GP Circuit has hosted the Formula 1 Mexico City Grand Prix on several occasions, with the name of Mexico City Grand Prix from 2021 on. The NASCAR Peak Mexico Series, IndyCar, and the Formula E, a single-seater race car featuring electric cars, use the venue regularly. The biggest city in North America has a subtropical climate type with two seasons, a dry and a rainy one, with a considerable temperature variation during the day.
One of the things that catch viewers' attention about the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is the abundance of grandstands around the trajectory of the raceway, which has a spectator capacity of 110,000 people. Races go clockwise, starting near the beginning of the Recta Principal, where high-performance cars develop up to 230 km/h (142 mph) before hitting the Esses Moises Solana and turning right to the Recta Trasera. The 90-degree corner number four, Ese del Lago, takes drivers to the tight-angle Horquilla, and from there, into another high-acceleration straight. Another set of snaking Esses, consisting of turns seven to eleven, leads into the Recta de Ovalo and from there into a highly technical sector with four tightly-packed corners. The last turn, Peraltada, takes racers into the front straight for another exciting lap.
