The 1.45 mile circuit is built on an old airfield near Swansea.
Although geographically it may be a little remote for some, we believe
it is well worth a visit.
The circuit is very flat, and it can be difficult to orientate
yourself because of the lack of reference points. The long Park
Straight has a kink, and shortly afterwards heavy braking must be
applied for the extremely tight Hatchetts hairpin.
A short squirt takes you to Spitfires, a straightforward right-hander,
and then to Dibeni, a faster left. It is difficult to pick up the
turn-in point for Paddock because the circuit is wide and flat here,
and on the exit you must get to the left hand side of the track
for the equally difficult-to-spot Esses. brooklands is a slow right-hander,
and it is important to carry lots of exit speed onto the Speedway
straight.
Depending on the weather, the accerleration potential of your vehicle
and the grip available, Woodlands may or may not be a flat-out kink,
but it is important to be accurate because of the speeds involved.
It is important to get through the fast Honda Curve well, in order
to carry as much speed as possible onto the never-ending Park Straight.
In summary, this circuit may be a little out-of-the-way for you,
and is difficult to get right, but is rewarding when you do.
