![]() Downforce is important, as well as break bias and suspension geometry in Portugal. To win the Portugal GP in Portimao, you must have a good car setup because the circuit has a series of tricky corners, particularly in the second and third sectors. The most common overtaking point is Turn 1, and the winner of the Portuguese GP is revealed at the end of a 66-lap race. There are two DRS zones and 15 corners on Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, aka Portimao. The track was designed by Ricardo Pena, and a lap takes 4.6 kilometers. ![]() Just like Austin Circuit, Portimao was built on a place with an elevation change. Let’s now take a look at the Portimao circuit, which is located in one of Europe’s most famous tourist destinations, the Algarve. In the winters of 20, the circuit was used for F1 pre-season testing, but it did not host a race or a race weekend until 2020. Portimao is a circuit that was built in just seven months and opened in 2008. If you added the Portugal Grand Prix to your custom calendar in the game, you’ll race on Portimao, and since it is an unused circuit until 2020, you may need the best F1 22 Portugal car setup for both dry and wet conditions to cross the finish line first in Portimao. Every second is crucial and loosing too much time can have just as disastrous effect as loosing time during the race itself.Despite joining the F1 calendar at short notice amid COVID-19 changes in 2020 and never hosting a Formula 1 event before, Portimao got its place on the F1 22 game as a free DLC. During the intense European back-to-back season the trucks carrying the main supplies will be double or even triple-manned so that they can travel without having to stop for rest breaks and lose vital time. The roads to and from the airports need to be checked to ensure there are no obstacles to a smooth journey alongside any local customs quirks or any other issues that need to be ironed out. If it is not a back-to-back race then the cars are flown back to the factory to be checked over and repainted. The car is completely stripped down and each component is placed in its own foam slot, sometimes after being wrapped with bubblewrap as an extra precaution. Equipment that is no longer needed is usually packed up as the team goes along and within eight hours after the race everything is normally gone from the circuit. ![]() ![]() Packing up quickly is essential, especially during back-to-back race weekends. What do Formula 1 teams do with equipment after a race? All across F1 there is a huge amount of planning and organisation involved in making sure that everything is in exactly the right place at exactly the right time so that each race weekend runs like clockwork. Over 60 kilometres of cabling transmitting the footage from 126 cameras is needed to ensure that viewers from all over the globe can watch all the track action. In order to guarantee fairness the teams cannot start building at flyaway races until all the cargo has arrived, so that everyone has the same amount of time to prepare, first with everyone's priority pallets and later with the rest of the equipment.Īlongside the teams substantial amount of cargo is all the other equipment necessary for the event to go ahead, such as everything needed to build and equip the broadcasting centre. For each race priority pallets are packed with the essentials to put together the garage which are first to arrive at the circuit so the set-up team can start creating the F1 paddock ready for when the rest of the personnel and equipment arrive.
