Grinding underway on the Sambadromo

Diamond grinding is underway at the Sao Paulo Indy 300 race course, with crews working on the slippery surface of the Sambadromo straightaway to improve conditions for tomorrow’s race (11:30 a.m. ET, Versus). NZR Consulting, the Tony Cotman-led track design firm that penned this 2.6-mile temporary layout, is reporting of a good start to the grinding out by the Turn 11 hairpin.
