| From the
starting line cars accelerate downhill at 190 mph to
Elf. The approach to Elf is downhill until almost the
corner itself when it rises to the left. Braking hard
at -3.8 g, this corner is taken in 3rd gear at 85 mph
on the inside so that the car can drift out to the
left for the next bend taken in 4th at around 100 mph.
Curvone Renault is the first long, sweeping 180-degree
right-hander, entered in 4th gear at 100 mph with 140
mph attained during its course.
Out of Renault and
accelerating to about 180 mph before the circuit loops
back on itself at Revolt Repsol. Entered in 2nd gear
at 85 mph, cars catapult out up to 155 mph and in 5th
gear along a short straight to Revolt Seat. Hard on
the brakes, this tight left-hand hairpin drops the
cars downhill at around 60 mph through a gentle
left-handed sweep at 160 mph before braking again to
enter Revolt Würth. Here, the track takes a sharp
left-hand turn which is almost 90 degrees and is
entered in 2nd gear at 85 mph. On exit, the circuit
turns slightly right as 5th gear and 155 mph is
reached.
Revolt Campsa is a
blind right-hander but can be navigated safely in 5th
at 135 mph. Then it’s down the short straight called
Nissan in top gear at 185 mph, on the run into 180
degree hairpin Revolt La Caixa, which is taken in 2nd
gear at 65 mph as it climbs to the right into the two
100-degree bends at Banc Sabadell. Entered in 3rd at
80 mph, it is exited in 5th gear as the car
accelerates towards the penultimate corner, another
right-hander that turns into a short straight leading
to the final bend which is taken in 5th gear at about
140 mph. On to the Start-Finish straight where cars
reach a maximum of 190 mph on the kilometre-long
straight.
