How twin tunnels and banked corner will make Madrid F1 track distinctive
The new Formula One track in Madrid will be a combination of street circuit roads and a section of permanent track. These two parts will be connected by tunnels that pass underneath an elevated highway. The layout of the track is being compared to Miami, as it will feature a mix of existing roads and purpose-built sections. F1’s head of vehicle performance, Craig Wilson, has been heavily involved in the track design process and has used simulations and data to create a venue that promotes good racing. The next steps for the track include detailed design development, FIA submission and homologation, safety assessments, and construction inspections. There is a possibility of banking the looping Turn 10 to create an overtaking opportunity, and other sections of the track are also being highlighted as potential landmarks. Overall, the new track in Madrid is expected to provide a challenge for the drivers.
