    WEEK 5 PERFORMANCE GUIDE

    For the first time in season 16, we arrive at Mount Panorama, located in Bathurst, Australia! A hugely popular circuit that demands concentration so that the car is kept out the wall. Opened in 1939, Bathurst features 20 corners over 6.2 km (3.8 mi) of ribboned tarmac. Mount Panorama is most known for Australia’s favourite motorsport, the V8 Supercars cars, who fly around the circuit at neck breaking speeds! You need a car that can achieve a good top speed whilst also being able to maintain high minimum speeds through sector 2.

    Suzuka on the other hand has held many memorable motorsport occasions over the years and seen many a title fight. The pick of the bunch being when Senna and Prost collided coming into the chicane in 1989, which would eventually give Prost the title. Suzuka requires excellent cornering grip and a stable Aero platform. Sector 1 in particular is very demanding on the car, so having a good balance will benefit the driver and lap time! You can view all our lap times in the table below!
