The designer who designed the Miami International Autodrome, the setting for the F1 Miami GP, created excitement and a close race with the “Mistake Generator” integrated into the circuit in hopes of forcing the driver to make small mistakes that encourage overtaking. I’m expecting that.
This weekend, F1 will be heading to Miami for the first time and will be racing at the Miami International Autodrome at the Hard Rock Standium in Miami Gardens.
The circuit that orbits the stadium on three sides has already been praised by drivers who have tried it on the simulator, but it will be truly evaluated on Friday when the real thing is driven for the first time.
Circuit architect Apex Circuit Design and founder Clive Bowen look forward to the effects of the so-called “mistake generator” integrated into the circuit.
“We needed to secure a race track with enough Jekyll and Hyde personality. Most are sections with slope changes and lots of traction, which requires a soft setup for the car. There are several ultra-fast sections. You’ll want a stiff setup to get the most out of your aerodynamic performance and grip the corners sideways, “Clive Bowen explained.
With a combination of almost blind turn 15 and a long straight shortly thereafter, the driver should make a mistake and open an overtaking opportunity on turn 17.
“The sequence from turns 13 to 16 is like passing a needle under the turnpike overpass. Once you enter turn 14, you won’t see the turn 15 apex until you reach the turn 14 apex,” Clive said. -Bowen added.
“This is what we do,” Mistake Generator! It’s very likely that someone will overdrive the front, so there’s an opportunity for the driver to get a position. “
Clive Bowen also revealed that his team finally settled on the current layout of the 5.14km circuit on 19 turns after performing 36 different layout simulations.
