Circuit Information
The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is situated in Montmelo. It is characterized by long straights and a decent mix of corners. The track's seating capacity stands at 140,700 and it has an FIA Grade 1 license.
The circuit length is 4.655 km, and the race is normally 66 laps long. This covers a distance of 307.104 km at an average time of 1:35:29.972.
Overtaking Hotspots
Of course, the main straight is a prime overtaking spot as it is a kilometer long and a DRS zone. So, there are plenty of slipstreaming opportunities. Just at the end of the straight is a right-left sequence, which can provide decent action.
This is followed by a long sweeping right-hander, and another chance to pounce. The next chance to overtake is at Turn 5, where drivers head downhill and can dive down the inside.
Another excellent overtaking hotspot is at the end of the back straight, another DRS zone. Finally, there is the 200kph final corner, where many a race has been won or lost.
