Flying lap at Singapore 2008

A great lap at the fantastic Marina Bay Street Circuit. Singapore street circuit looks like being one of the slowest of the season, only faster than Monaco. Marina Bay is one of only three circuits on this year’s calendar to run in an anti-clockwise direction. Let´s see the key features to make a good setup here:
Tires: soft tyres are needed. Street circuits are dirty and a good grip, specially at corner exits helps to save lap time. (Soft / Super Soft)
Aerodinamics: very high downforce (10/10). To give the car good stability under braking and to push the car into the ground in the corner exits to maximise traction and ensure good acceleration.
Brakes: needs a efficient brake cooling, because of the regularity of braking.
Suspension: mechanical grip is important here, to get good clean exits out of the slow corners and a car that can ride the bumps and any changes of camber. Soft suspension helps at the bumps of the track.
Engine: less severe on the engine due to the low percentage of the lap spent at full throttle (50%).
Gearbox: short gear ratios to optimze acceleration and get the more power from the engine at low speeds.
