Guess the circuit layout - Page 4

**Peter Mallett** · 1 Nov 2006, 11:42 (Ref:1755189)

Also just to see if the original theory would work, give this a thought.

This is based on my car (not a formula one car).

Accelerate from the lights to a third gear right hander, up to top gear then through a left/right sweep in top braking down to a right hand second gear hairpin, acclerating from there through a long left hander then down to a first gear right hand hairpin (180 degrees), then up over a rise before dropping down to a top gear right hander rising again to a third gear left hander followed by a second gear left hander then a long right hand hairpin through a sweeping right hand bend to the flag.

Where am I?

Silverstone national circuit?

jab · 1 Nov 2006, 12:42 (Ref:1755233)

No, it's Silverstone International

It certainly is

**Peter Mallett** · 1 Nov 2006, 12:45 (Ref:1755240)

And yes jab its Silverstone International.

jab · 1 Nov 2006, 12:59 (Ref:1755256)

OK, see if you can get this one:

Down to the first corner, a tight right hairpin, which is followed soon after by a left kink. There is then a straight leading to a tightening right. There is then another straight before a long left hander. After this, there is another straight before another long right, then a straight, with a slight left kink, before a double 90 right. Then, a short straight before a right-left, and then a tight left hairpin. It's then onto another straight, before a sharp right kink, before a final tight hairpin leading onto the S/F straight

Oh, International then..

I meant this one.

**Peter Mallett** · 1 Nov 2006, 13:05 (Ref:1755264)

Budapest?

Pirenzo that is the International Circuit.

pirenzo · 1 Nov 2006, 13:22 (Ref:1755285)

Yes, I realise that now. Just got muddled up with the naming conventions in use. To me, the International circuit would be the full circuit the formula 1 cars use...

jab is describing Mondello Park

jab · 1 Nov 2006, 13:25 (Ref:1755287)

Yep

I find it strange why Silverstone have so many layouts - GP, International, National, South and Club circuits. There only used to be 2/3 up until the mid 90's. Do they actually use half of them? I haven't heard of many races on the South or International circuits lately (the BTCC stopped using the latter a few years back)

Ian Sowman · 1 Nov 2006, 13:31 (Ref:1755290)

International is used for events such as F3 and the MG Festival.

There was some talk of the South circuit being licensed for racing, but I don't believe that it has ever been used.

I was commentating on Saturday in the Becketts commentary box on the National circuit, with track activity on the South and another race meeting on the Stowe circuit all in my view!

**Peter Mallett** · 1 Nov 2006, 13:38 (Ref:1755296)

International is also used for BTCC isn't it?

South circuit is purely for testing.

Stowe circuit is the antti clockwise circuit in the middle of the south circuit.

National Circuit is the old "Club" circuit.

GP Circuit is the er GP circuit.

The Historic Circuit is the GP circuit with the Abbey Chicane and Valley(?) exit straight lined.

jab · 1 Nov 2006, 13:44 (Ref:1755304)

The BTCC uses the National circuit these days

There's also the bike Luffield right-and-chicane. The main bike circuit also has the old Abbey

formula1fan · 1 Nov 2006, 21:38 (Ref:1755672)

jab, you're actually doing what the point of the thread originally was. Thanks.

**Adam43** · 1 Nov 2006, 22:20 (Ref:1755702)

Congratulations to Peter too, he tried it and didn't do Chimay!

Nice thumbnail BTW formula1fan, but I am not sure if that is what jab is describing.

jab · 2 Nov 2006, 13:02 (Ref:1756181)

It's Albacete

**Peter Mallett** · 2 Nov 2006, 13:02 (Ref:1756182)

Easy for you to say!

pirenzo · 2 Nov 2006, 13:24 (Ref:1756210)

This is getting a bit confusing with three different things being discussed.

formula1fan's track (post #90) is Albacete, as jab says.
jab's description (post #82) is of Mondello Park, I'm pretty sure of that. It would be nice to have some confirmation though...

**Peter Mallett** · 2 Nov 2006, 13:27 (Ref:1756214)

This is fun.

pirenzo · 2 Nov 2006, 14:33 (Ref:1756277)

Here's another one then

Accelerate from start, along short straight between trees into slowish right hander. course continues curving gently to right, under a bridge and then slightly to the left. Short straight followed by tightish left, heading immediately uphill for a few hundred yards, into a quick right-left-right between trees, walls close in. Out into a small clearing, the track kinks right, and then left back into wooded area and across the line.

Fish_Flake · 2 Nov 2006, 14:47 (Ref:1756288)

Here's an easy one...

Up the gears, brake hard for the first chicane. Up the gears again, brake hard for the next chicane. Third gear right, third gear right. Up the gears, brake hard for the the final chicane. Up the gears, brake a little for the third gear right, then up the gears past the apex.

(I had a far more descriptive one in the works, but accidentally erased it before posting.)

Fish_Flake · 2 Nov 2006, 14:49 (Ref:1756292)

P: the club circuit at Oulton Park?

pirenzo · 2 Nov 2006, 15:34 (Ref:1756328)

Fish:

Is it Monza?

Mine is cheating slightly because its not a circuit, it's a hillclimb
