The 4.309 km Interlagos track is 16 kilometres south of Sao Paulo´s city centre.
The anti-clockwise track provides the drivers and engineers with many challenges. At high altitude it can be tough on the engines. Spectator facilities at Interlagos are generally rather basic, some grandstand seats are not numbered and there are no general admission areas. The atmosphere on race day is fantastic however. The grave of the three-time champion, Aryton Senna is in Sao Paulo´s Morumbi cemetery, for those who wish to visit and pay their respects.

Released by the Circuit
The Interlagos Circuit (Whose official name is Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace) Is located in the neighborhood of Interlagos in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It was inaugurated on May 12, 1940 after just over a year of construction.
Its total area amounts to 923,000 meters squared.
The traditional name of the circuit comes from the fact that it was built in a region between two artificial lakes, and Guarapiranga Billings, which were built in the early twentieth century to supply the city with water and electricity. In the early 70's it was renamed to honor the then recently deceased Formula 1 driver Jose Carlos Pace. Attached to its construction, there is a circuit, the Municipal Karting Ayrton Senna.
The circuit is one of the few racing circuits outside the United States to take counter-clockwise.
In this race track are the main competitions held Automobile Brazil. It is internationally known for hosting the stage of the Brazil Grand Prix Formula 1, and is currently the only one of Latin America in the championship calendar.

About the Track ; by Autosport.com
Flying Lap ; Accelerating up to a maximum speed of over 300km/h on the way to the first corner which is quite a tricky downhill left-hand 2nd gear corner which I take at about 95km/h. The circuit drops down sharply which makes braking very difficult for this turn. Straight after this it leads into a right-hand corner, I am still in 2nd gear but then I accelerate up into 3rd gear, it is almost flat but very difficult. There is then a long left-hand corner that leads on to the back straight where I go over 300km/h before braking very hard into the next left-hand corner.
This is a medium speed corner taken in 3rd gear at around 135km/h from here I accelerate along a short straight reaching 5th gear and a speed of about 280km/h before going into a very difficult fast right-hand 4th gear corner which has a double apex and is taken at about 180km/h. Next I have to brake into a very slow corner which is taken in 1st gear at under 80km/h, this is immediately followed by a slow left-hand corner, still taken in 1st gear at around 95km/h.
A very short straight then leads into the slowest corner of the circuit again back into 1st gear and this time right down to 70 km/h. I take the next left-hand corner almost flat in qualifying at around 200km/h in 4th gear with just a slight lifting of the throttle before braking hard again for what is probably the most important corner in the lap the final corner leading on to the straight which is taken in 2nd gear at just over 100 km/h. I have to get a clean exit from this corner is very important to start the uphill climb to the finish line to end the lap.
