Notable corners

T1AbbeyFast right-hander immediately after the line that opens the lap, taken at high speed and setting up the run toward the first straight.
T6-T7Brooklands / LuffieldHeavy braking into a long, slow left-hander complex where traction and patience on exit feed the run past the old pits.
T9CopseVery fast right-hander, one of the highest-commitment corners on the calendar and the gateway to the signature esses.
T10-T14Maggotts / Becketts / ChapelHigh-speed left-right-left esses, among the fastest corner sequences in the sport, where aerodynamic load and lateral grip decide everything.
T15StoweFast right at the end of the Hangar Straight, a long-loaded corner that rewards front-end stability under braking.
T16-T17Vale / ClubThe slow left-right that closes the lap, the best overtaking spot and a traction test onto the pit straight.

★Circuit DNA: what it demands

STATIC

The analytical heart of the page. What this track asks of a car, and which teams and drivers it should reward downstream.

DOWNFORCE POWER UNIT TRACTION BRAKING TYRE DEG LOW-SPD BIAS

Demand profile · 0 (low) to outer ring (extreme)

Downforce level Medium-high
Power-unit sensitivity Low
Traction demand Low-medium
Braking severity Medium-high
Tyre degradation Low
Low-speed bias Medium

In one line

A high-downforce, high-speed-corner circuit. The car that can carry the most aerodynamic load through Copse and the Maggotts-Becketts-Chapel esses wins the lap, and the lateral energy through those corners drives heavy front-left tyre wear over a stint.
