Layout
The track is 2.236 km in length and features 11 turns. Prior to the inaugural race, it was decided to treat the track surface with a resin-type material, in a bid to prevent a repeat of the previous round in Santiago, which saw the track break up during the race due to the high temperatures.[2]
