race-week

Hi Al! Saw your post on Mexico and was wondering - how can one differentiate a high downforce or a low downforce track just by looking at it?

To be honest for me, it’s just a matter of looking at track maps and layouts it’s not really a science but it’s something that I’ve picked up on overtime.

The key point that I can give is remember what downforce is used for and where it’s helpful. You want more downforce when cornering, particularly at high speeds, but you don’t want downforce when travelling in a straight line.

For the most part it’s quite easy once you’ve got the basic understanding but there are some tracks (like Mexico and a couple others) which don’t quite fit.

My personal method is looking at the map and first of all trying to decide if it’s mostly straights or mostly corners

Starting off with the two ends of the spectrum, Monza and Monaco

Now on first look, I get it, ‘what specifically are you meant to look for?’, they both have corners and straights.

My main thing is looking for the amount of corners, and the type of corners (more on that in a bit) in each sector

So Monza has 3 corners in S1 (one of which is high speed), and 4 corners in S2 and in S3. 11 corners isn’t very many and also each of the sectors are kind of dominated by straights.

Monaco meanwhile has 4 corners in S1, 8 in S2 and 7 in S3 and you can see with the track map that overall the circuit is a lot more twisty and corners make up more of it than straights.

The other thing to consider is corner speeds.

A track that predominantly has medium and high speed corners will likely be a high downforce track as the downforce helps keep the car stable in the faster corners

Low speed corners are quite noticeable as they tend to be significantly tighter and twistier than medium and high speed (see below for some examples)

Putting this into practice looking at tracks

You can see that Baku (left) predominantly has 90 degree slow corners as well as some slow chicanes, whilst Zandvoort (right) has a lot of medium and high speed sweeping corners.

The tricky thing is, a track won’t exclusively have one type of corners, they’ll have a mix of high, medium and low speed corners and deciphering which is the most prominent does take a little time, for instance Zandvoort does have 2 or 3 low speed corners and Monza has a couple high and medium speed corners but it’s a matter of figuring out the dominant features of the track.

As I said earlier, there’s a couple of ‘outlier tracks’ like Mexico, where at first glance it looks like it should be one type of downforce level but in fact it’s the opposite, (Shanghai for instance looks like it should be low or medium downforce but it’s high) and then there’s also the realm of medium downforce tracks which are harder to pinpoint at first glance.

Medium downforce tracks don’t fit in the boxes very nicely and there’s medium downforce tracks that don’t really look like each other

For instance COTA, Suzuka, Miami and Red Bull Ring all fall under medium downforce tracks.

They all have decently long straights, that take up a significant portion of the track distance, some low speed corners but also some medium and high speed corners.

There are a lot of medium downforce tracks on the calendar, more so than high downforce and low downforce and sometimes you’ll see someone mention that a track is medium-low or medium-high downforce this is basically where they fall on that spectrum and at those tracks you might see some teams running a different downforce set up to aid them in particular areas of the track.

A notable one for that is Spa (Belgium) which has a long back straight which would benefit from running a low downforce set up, but a S2 with a lot of higher speed cornering where higher downforce would come in handy, so teams have to make a decision there, when it comes to setting up the car.
