The Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace, situated within a suburb of Sao Paulo, the home town of Ayrton Senna, at a time when the great Brazilian driver was a consecutive world champion and a national hero. It has hosted the F1 GP since 1990 and now looks set to be the only Grand Prix held in South America.
A technically challenging circuit for drivers, and very bumpy in parts, it makes great demands on suspensions. The many corners are a great test of transmissions. The bumps, the long left-hander leading on to start-finish line and the fact that this track runs counter-clockwise, make it very tiring for drivers.
