THE NEXT RACE  Brazilian Grand Prix, 22-24 October 2004 The
Circuit Race distance 71 laps. 190.083 miles (305.909km)
Circuit length 2.677 miles (4.309 km) The anti-clockwise Autodromo José Carlos Pace was built in a natural bowl that has gradually been absorbed by the sprawling city of São Paulo. Notable for its difficult corners and tight infield section, it is also very bumpy circuit - despite regular relaying of the racing surface. Therefore, chassis set-up priorities are to ensure the car rides well, and has high levels of grip in the corners with as little downforce as possible, so straight-line speed remains high. The original track, first used in 1940, twisted around itself between two lakes, hence the name Interlagos. The new shorter version, missed out much of the old track, but maintains the track's stand-out feature - a steep start line straight. With the race moved to the end of season for 2004, the weather around São Paulo may not be as hot and humid as usual, while the torrential downpours, as seen in dramatic fashion last year, may also be a thing of the past.
