Autodromo Interlomas

The Autodromo Interlomas is a 2.75-km (1.7-mile) road course built in the rolling hills of Lautaro, 600 km (373 miles) south of Santiago, Chile. It opened its doors in 1996, and many motor enthusiasts and racing fans consider it the most important venue in the country. Some of the motorsports series running regularly at Interlomas include the Campeonato Chileno de Superbike, the Formula 3 Sudamericana, and the Stock Car Chile, to name a few. The location of the circuit features an Oceanic climate type, with an average temperature of 25°C in January and 10°C in July. There's a substantial amount of rainfall throughout the year, so the track surface tends to be wet most of the time. 

The Autodromo Interlomas has 12-turns, most of them fast-paced sweepers and several tight angle corners that create braking and downshifting sections. The start/finish line is on the main straightaway, Recta, between turns 12 and one. Racers go downhill through the first corner and the Tobogan and only start going up again at Viborita. This elevation change gives the name to turn seven, Ciega, the Spanish word for blind. Turns eight and nine are tight and a real challenge to maneuver, leading into a downhill dive to the Bajo corner. The last corner, number 12, is only a slight bend introducing drivers into the final stretch of the raceway.
