Chicago Street Circuit

A brutal and highly abrasive modern street circuit, Chicago features highly unpredictable public asphalt, slippery painted crosswalks, and severe surface bumps that can violently unsettle the car under heavy braking. The layout is heavily composed of tight 90-degree corners, demanding a setup fully committed to extreme mechanical grip and high downforce to handle the heavy traction zones.

To survive the bumps and manhole covers without launching the car into the walls, engineers must utilize incredibly soft suspension and maximum ride heights. Drivers must possess supreme confidence, purposefully brushing the unforgiving concrete walls on corner exits to widen their trajectory and maximize acceleration down the long, narrow city avenues.
