Part 4

Turn 3 (Confiteria): After a short straightaway, this left-hand J-turn requires moderate braking. Late braking and a tight entry can create passing opportunities, especially if you swing wide on exit to prevent being repassed.

Turn 4 (Curva del Ornbu): This long left-hand corner needs only light braking. In traffic, it may be best taken single-file due to the upcoming corner.

Turn 5: Shortly after Curva del Ornbu, this right-hand corner is sharper and requires light to moderate braking. Good acceleration out of Turn 5 sets up passing opportunities down to Extrada a los Mixtos.

Turn 6 (Curvon): This long, sweeping right-hand hairpin requires either light braking or careful throttle management. The entry can be taken at full throttle, but be ready to brake at the exit. This corner is on the crown of a hill.

Turn 7 (Laranjinha): The final corner of a 'U' shape, this is a right-hand decreasing-radius corner with a gentle downward slope.

Turn 8 (Curva do S): After a negligible straightaway, this right-hand corner needs moderate braking. The course slopes downhill at the start of Turn 8, leading into Pinheirinho.

Turn 9 (Pinheirinho): Immediately after Turn 8, brake sharply for this left-hand corner. It's a good passing spot, especially with a high-downforce setup. Hug the apex longer than usual as it's a long corner. The exit leads to an uphill straightaway.

Turn 10 (Bica do Pato): The entrance to this right-hand corner starts the final downward slope, making it difficult. Heavy braking and precise control are essential. Good acceleration exiting Bica do Pato is needed for the next corner and straightaway. The 'kitty litter' (a run-off area) is available if you overshoot, but you risk hitting a barrier.

Turn 11 (Mergulho): This left-hand corner follows Bica do Pato and can be taken flat-out for speed on the short subsequent straightaway. Good acceleration out of Turn 10 makes this a passing zone with a good racing line; otherwise, you might go off course.

Turn 12 (Juncao): A tight left-hand corner requiring moderate to heavy braking. The final steep uphill slope begins here, and the exit is hidden. It's easy to run off the outside, but grass and a paved lane offer run-off relief. This leads to the Pit Straight.

Pit Exit: In F1 26, the Pit Lane rejoins the main course just after the exit of Curva du Sol (Turn 3). You do not gain control of your car until effectively past Turn 2. This makes careful pit strategy crucial in long races.

Pit Lane Passing Maneuver: There is a small paved path between the main track and Pit Lane where the old Pit Lane met the course. F1 26 does not penalize you for using this path and driving along the Pit Lane to rejoin just beyond Turn 3. This allows passing a large group of cars at once. Extreme caution is needed to avoid hitting the barrier on the left of the Pit Lane when attempting this at full speed.
