Experience the atmosphere of Autódromo José Carlos Pace at Interlagos. Compare Senna S braking views with the pit straight and infield, then plan your regular Line 9 rail arrival and the approach to your ticketed gate. Autódromo José Carlos Pace at Interlagos is one of the most revered cathedral tracks in Formula 1. Built in a natural amphitheatre between two subterranean lakes in the southern hills of São Paulo, its anti-clockwise layout demands extreme physical neck endurance. The signature downhill flick of the Senna S (Turns 1 and 2) has staged some of the most dramatic championship deciders and wet-weather overtaking masterclasses in motorsport history. Plan the journey from your hotel to the station as well as the final walk to your ticketed gate. Regular Line 9 trains serve Autódromo; the special express service in the linked 2025 event guide used Cidade Dutra instead. Confirm 2026 special-service arrangements before booking. Choose covered seating for shelter from sudden rain. Use rail to avoid road congestion, and book dinner in advance if you plan to visit a popular churrascaria.
