F1 heads to a racetrack that was once a test track for Honda.
The racetrack is unique in that it features a figure-eight layout with two levels of racing surfaces. The layout makes it the only F1 track that runs both clockwise and counterclockwise. It was designed in 1962 by Dutch car and racetrack designer John Hugenholz, originally as a test track for Honda, and was later converted into an F1 track in time for the 1987 season.
There also aren't many heavy braking zones or runoff areas, which makes it a real challenge for drivers. The narrow width also makes overtaking difficult. The best strategy is finding a good rhythm and having good aero balance.The track surface is also among the roughest and most abrasive of the year, which means tire wear and degradation is on the high side.
