According to Brembo technicians, who work closely with all the MotoGP World Championship riders, the Losail International Circuit falls into the category of medium level difficulty for brakes. On a scale of 1 to 5, it earned a 3 on the difficulty index, matched by other 8 tracks.
The GP is held under floodlights, which makes it possible to see the carbon brake discs become incandescent during the more abrupt turns. This phenomenon, even though rather frequent, cannot be seen during the other GP because of the sunlight which makes the chromatic change of the discs following thermal stress must less noticeable.
