The National clockwise configuration at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City creates a shortened variant running in clockwise direction at this legendary circuit honoring the Rodriguez brothers. The National designation indicates a compact layout suitable for national-level competition and club racing events, with clockwise flow establishing specific corner sequences. This variant serves events requiring shorter track distances than the full Grand Prix circuit.
Operating the National CW showcases Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez's versatility beyond its famous Formula One layout at the facility that has hosted the Mexican Grand Prix since 1963 (with interruptions). Mexico City's high altitude (2,285 meters) creates unique power loss affecting all vehicles due to reduced air density. The National clockwise configuration provides accessible layout option for domestic racing series and club events, serving Mexico City's motorsport community with configuration variety at this historic venue named for Pedro and Ricardo Rodriguez.
