Playtime : 14 rolls/lap min.
Corner Stops : 9
Rain : 25%
Popularity : 20th most played circuit on Formula Dé Online



Race start:
It is always good to be ahead and on the front lines but on this circuit it won't have any extra impact on driving the first S (3 stops,18-10). The S will require a slow down in 3rd to be driven carefully anyways.

Focus 1:
The option to attack here starts at the end of the first S that needs to be exited in 4th to enter the 2nd turn (1 stop, 4-1) and then from there to enter the 3rd turn in 5th without to much overshoot. Then the final pay off is to be able to cross the southern long straight in only one 6th gear roll. It is a bite of a risky option and the dice might not turn well but it can pay off a lot.

Focus 2:
On the final S before the line (3 stops,18-10), it pays to pass the 4th gear on the second stop to be able to exit directly in 5th to start the northern long straight. It might be a bit hard on the tires as there are quite some chances of overshooting but it pays if you don't plan on stopping in the stands.

Focus 3 :
The northern long straight is to be driven fast in, 5th or 6th gear, for a brutal slow down entering the S. Here some gas and breaks will probably be needed. The long straight is quite a random part due to the big dices. Luck will have an important part here to stay ahead.
