Podium Club Pistol
Podium Club Pistol Anmerkungen:
The Podium Club road course is part of a projected, privately-owned racing complex of high-profile racers and motorsports enthusiasts wanting to fulfill their dream of living in a community of similar-minded individuals. The club sits 40 minutes south of Phoenix, Arizona, in the middle of the Sonoran desert, over flatlands bathed by the sun year-round. The open spaces around the track give the impression of fading into the horizon in every direction. The 15 turns of the 2.32-mile (3.73-km) racetrack offer a clever combination of banking and elevation changes for top-notch driveability. There are no metal or concrete barriers around the road course: an added motorcycle-friendy safety measure.
The start/finish line sits in the middle of the front straight, where high-performance vehicles go over 150 mph (241 km/h). Turn number one is the first downshifting point, and racers need to get down to 40 mph (64 km/h) to remain in control. After a short straight, drivers go through the Esses, a snaking sector of seven alternating corners challenging the drivers' maneuvering abilities. The remaining curves are tighter and have more space between one another, with several multi-apex turns creating more technical difficulties than expected. The final stretch permits to go full-speed to break all records in pursuit of a victory.
