THE SEQUENCE OF CORNERS FROM T12 TO T14 AT INDY GENERATE VERY HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LEFT SHOULDER OF THE REAR TYRES, MAKING ASYMMETRIC REAR SLICKS A NECESSITY AT THIS CIRCUIT 06 05 The Indianapolis circuit is 4.170 kilometres in length and features a ‘stop-and-go’ 07 layout with slow corners separated by short straight sections which place an emphasis S1 on good rear traction and braking stability. The circuit is run in a counter-clockwise 08 direction, with ten left-hand turns compared to six right-hand turns. The sequence of S2 03 09 corners from T12 to T14 at Indianapolis generate very high temperatures in the left 02 04 shoulder of the rear tyres, making asymmetric rear slicks with harder rubber on the 10 left shoulder a necessity at this circuit.
