Title: UKGPL Season 18 (2009) Gold Cup (69) - Interlagos - Dec 14 Post by: Phil Thornton on December 14, 2009, 06:56:01 PM +0000 Season 18 Gold Cup - Round 8 - Interlagos
Autódromo José Carlos Pace or Interlagos is the venue of the Formula One Brazilian Grand Prix, located in a suburb of the city of São Paulo, named after José Carlos Pace, a Brazilian Formula One driver, who had died prior to its naming. It is still widely known by its former name, Interlagos. The land on which the circuit is built was originally bought in 1936 by property developers who wanted to build accommodation. However, it was discovered that the land was unsuitable for housing, so a racing circuit was built instead. The present design of the track dates from 1990, when the original circuit was shortened from 7,829 m to only 4,397 m (so that it could fit the new FIA restrictions on track length). The original track allowed cars to keep maximum speed for up to twenty seconds and was considered very dangerous (though no one ever died there racing Formula One) but since 1990 the old layout was completely abandoned. We are using the original 1973 layout… As well as registering at UKGPL you will also need to have registered at GBGPL (http://www.gbsimracing.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,1098.0.html).
