Hello guys...now i will post some pics i had taken myself inside the circuit of Interlagos, one of the F1 season. I can´t find words to describe my emotion inside there...it was just a dream come true....i loved and was addicted to the track for years and years and so i could get inside there walking by foot, thing that i couldn´t when i had trackday there driving my friend´s A3 because the track was with cars running, so i could not get inside the track on foot but it was another big dream realized also
... I would say that in both times it was better than when i lost my virginity, at least for me, because racing and driving is my life, and i can´t describe how important for me this is
But this time i could know almost each corner i always wanted to, i couldn´t take pics of the whole track because when i got inside the track, i could walk about 30 minutes and so some races had started, so i had to watch them sitted in the grass on the track, more exactly in the Opposite straight, right before the corner called "Descida do Lago". But next time i will try to get a full lap in the circuit recording all the corners very precise.
I can´t comment each photo because i would stay writing hundreds and hundreds of lines describing how they are...so just see and try to imagine, ii tried to take the photos with a "real" view of how the track is.
By far my prefered corner there is the first one, the "S do Senna" corner, wich is the most technique and tough in the circuit...it is made at about 130-140 km/h in F1 cars, and i would say the lateral g forces are toooooooo strong in your body, i can say this because i had already gave 1 fast lap there, it was in an Audi A3 in a trackday and i could get some strong lateral g forces...this corner is very tricky cause you want to enter there in full gas...u can´t because it´s a little of hairpin in the beggining, in the first left hander, so u have to let the car get inside without accelerating and just shifting the car´s weight to the center as soon as you can, to right after apply him full gas and get a little of understeer(or oversteer if you prefer) in the right hander and later in the left, in the exact moment u get the Sol corner, the long left and fast hander....
It´s was also very cool to walk in the S do Senna corner because i could feel how deep and downhill the corner is..in games or even in TV u can´t see how chalenge it is, it´s not too big as i had imagined when i was there in 2003 to watch the F1 or just when i had a trackday because i gave just 1 lap and i was very excited. It´s a little narrow and very tough, because of this it´s needed very technique driving and also fear-free driving(reckless i would say) to get there in the limits or just in the fastest way you can....But the track overall is just the same as it is in the F1 2002 or just in another F1 games...
It´s awesome in another words, as you guys can see bellow
