    Track Character

    Eleven turns over 1.51 miles in the Arizona desert, where a road course threads through the infield of a NASCAR oval. That makes for an unusual mix: banked oval sections joined to tighter infield technical bits, a layout that keeps an intermediate driver switching between two very different disciplines in one lap. The dominant factor is the Avondale heat, which bakes the asphalt and the cockpit alike. Grip and driver stamina both fade fast once the desert sun is fully up.
