Key info
- Noise limit
- Strict — typically 105 dB(A) static / 92 dB(A) drive-by, with a very limited number of permitted days
- Elevation notes
- Effectively flat airfield perimeter, but the sweeping camber changes through Church and Goodwood load the car far more than the profile suggests.
Known tricky sections
- Church
The fastest corner in British motorsport — a long, loaded right taken near flat. Tyre pressures and temperatures matter here.
- Goodwood
Long, fast and deceptively tightening, with a bumpy surface that upsets the car mid-corner.
- Campbell–Cobb–Segrave
The complex is the only real 'slow' part of the lap; a mistake here costs you the whole run to Church.
- Tyre and brake load
Sustained high speed means tyre temperatures climb fast. Build up slowly and check pressures every session.
