A sim racer's journey to the tracks of the 2008 Formula1 season

Prioritizing the Corners of Bahrain International Circuit, Bahrain Grand Prix

Posted on January 9, 2008 10:47 by ScottDrake

As I noted in the "First Impressions" post for Bahrain, this track can almost be broken into two sectors. The first is more technical and includes corners 1-10, the second is higher-speed and includes corners 11-15.

I'm going to focus my attention first on the corridor that includes corners 5, 6, and 7. It looks like the most technical at the highest speed.

I'll then move on to the corridor that includes corners 11, 12, 13, and 14 which looks to be the highest speed but is not quite as technical as 5-6-7.

I'll come back and work through the long braking zone of 9-10 before moving on to 15, 1-2, and 4.

Data from the AI car including seconds between midpoints of corners:
