The pit lane entrance received some changes to become safer for the 2007 Formula One Brazilian Grand Prix, and later for the 2014 Formula One Brazilian Grand Prix, when a chicane was added.The fastest laps at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace. At the end of it, Arquibancadas ("Bleachers") 15 forms the end of what was once called "Cotovelo" ("Elbow"). However, later it was decided to keep start/finish straight at its current location along with the new pit building.Race start is in the "Tribunas" section and features a pretty long straight section, then comes "S do Senna" ("Senna's S") Turns 1 & 2, a series of turns (left then right) that are considered extremely difficult because both of them have a different angle, a different radius, a different length, a different inclination (inward or outward) and a different shape (besides the terrain goes down and then up again).
)For the 2007 Brazilian Grand Prix, the largest-scale repairs in the last 35 years were carried out at the circuit, to fundamentally solve problems with the track surface. The hilly course is also a good feature for road cycling races usually held in the circuit.The circuit is known for its many inclines and formerly bumpy surface, which could take its toll on F1 cars because they have a very low ride height and little suspension travel. Known for its serpentine layout and dramatic elevation changes, the circuit has been the home of the Brazilian Grand Prix since 1973 but for the period from 1978-1989. The race was won by Sebastian Vettel, and with Mark Webber coming second, Red Bull secured the constructors title; however the driver's title was not confirmed until the last race.The circuit is one of a minority of non-oval racing circuits to go in an anti-clockwise direction (Circuit of the Americas, Imola, Istanbul Park, Yas Marina Circuit, Laguna Seca, Singapore, Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, Korea International Circuit and Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, being notable others). Watch Renault F1 driver Nico Hulkenberg take you on a tour of Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace, Interlagos, ahead of the 20th round of the 2019 F1 season At the same time, the pit lane entrance was enhanced to improve safety and to add a new fixed grand stand. (This is frequently a topic of broadcast commentary at this circuit as well as at Istanbul Park. The existing asphalt was entirely replaced, resulting in a much smoother track surface. Williams got their first pole since 2006 here at the 2010 Brazilian Grand Prix with Nico Hülkenberg.
Other notable stretches of this nature are the "Rettifilo Tribune" straight at Autodromo Nazionale di Monza and the Kemmel Straight at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.
In 1979 upgrading work was done and the pit lane was extended past the first left-hand turn (Curva 1), making the corner more narrow, and the pit lane ended right in the middle of Curva 1 and 2. The new track still had a very long top-speed section that contained bumps, high-speed turns and little run-off area (though the track is very wide at this point).Another reason why many drivers consider Interlagos interesting is that it was not built on flat terrain, but follows the ups and downs of hilly ground, which makes it harder to drive and demands more power from the car's engines. Known for its serpentine layout and dramatic elevation changes, the circuit has been the home of the Brazilian Grand Prix since 1973 but for the period from 1978-1989.Among a few major international circuits to run counter-clockwise, Interlagos was constructed between two reservoirs on the outskirts of Sao Paulo in the late 1930s, snaking around upon itself for 4.9 miles/7.96 km. It was renamed in 1985 from "Autódromo de Interlagos" to its current name to honor the Brazilian Formula One driver José Carlos Pace, who died in a plane crash in 1977.Formula One started racing there in 1972, the first year being a non-championship race, won by Argentinean Carlos Reutemann.
The track layout, aside from the pit exit being extended along the Curva do Sol over the years has remained the same since 1990. The facilities include a kart circuit named after Ayrton Senna. Following difficulties partly due to the 1929 stock market crash, it was decided to build a racing circuit instead, construction started in 1938 and the track was inaugurated in May 1940. Find the travel option that best suits you. The circuit now also host the Brazilian Formula Three Championship.The circuit is often witness to dramatic results when it hosts the Formula One Brazilian Grand Prix. Despite Rubens Barrichello's pole position in 2009, Mark Webber won the race and Jenson Button won the championship for Brawn after starting 14th.
After Formula One moved away, the only major race being held at Interlagos was the Mil Milhas Brasil, and the last major race on the original circuit was the 1989 Mil Milhas Brasil, and Formula One returned to the circuit the following year after it had been shortened and modified at a cost of $15 million. As a consequence of the reduction, the track lost three long straight sections and nine fast curves (5 were lost forever, 4 were made slower and are still there).

Autódromo José Carlos Pace, also known by its former name Interlagos, is a motorsport circuit located in the city of São Paulo, renamed after Carlos Pace, a Brazilian Formula One driver who had died in a 1977 plane crash.It is well known for being the venue of the Formula One Brazilian Grand Prix. The races are therefore very tough on the car, and also physically tough on the drivers, especially since the circuit is anti-clockwise, where the centrifugal forces in the many hard left turns push the drivers' necks to the right, instead of left as in the majority of circuits on the F1 calendar. Entering the pits was originally not a trivial task, as the high speed and the left turning may force the car rightwards, out of the pits. Autódromo José Carlos Pace, also known by its former name Interlagos, is a motor racing circuit.It is in the city of São Paulo.It is named after Carlos Pace.Pace was a Brazilian Formula One driver, who died in 1977.The track was renamed in his honor.
