Brands Hatch GP circuit guide

Corner one – Paddock

Approach the corner as much to the left as possible and braking in the straightest possible line as well. The turning point is just before the start of the gravel and a nice slow turn of the steering wheel so you pick a latish apex. Look a long way up ahead through the corner towards turn two to help prevent running out too wide on the exit.

Corner two – Druids

Aim to break under the bride, positively and gently bring the car in towards the corner – then pick up a late apex and slowly undo the steering angle towards the exit of the corner.

Corner Three – Graham Hill

Braking on a very mild turn – aim to be as close to the curb on the right as possible and turn in just before the curb ends. Pick up a latish apex on the inside and power through the corner.

Corner four – Hawthorns

A big confidence corner  – gentle brake, slow late turn in so you can also pick up a late apex – and power hard through this very fast corner.

Corner five – Westfield

This corner tightens up going in, and then slowly opens up on the exit. Aim to use the entire curb on the inside to help straight line the corner and carry the speed through.

Corner seven – Sheene Curve

Fast, committed corner – but be careful as its a rare corner that tightens up on the exit.  Approach the corner as far to the left as possible and use the entire flat curb on the inside to take the straightest possible line through the corner.

Corner eight – Stirlings

This is a slightly banked corner – late apex and carry the speed through the corner trusting the camber in the corner, and aiming to get good exit speed.

Corner nine – Clearways

Mild brake pressure into final corner – tight entering the corner and then allow the car to use full width of track on exit following the outer curve of the track.  Then slowly bring the car back to hug the pit wall to the line.
