Indexed: Mon Oct 13, 2008 @ 04:00:25PM 1 month 3 weeks ago

As at Fuji Speedway, car set-up is a compromise between slow-speed grip and straightline speed. Ideally, the five second-gear corners around the lap require high downforce, but the cars need to maintain a high top speed along the back straight, and that forces the teams to take off wing to reduce drag. There are more high-speed corners than at Fuji, however, so a neutral car balance is crucial to achieve a good lap time.
