Brands Hatch (Grand Prix Circuit)
Fawkham, Kent, United Kingdom · 3.90 km · 2.43 mi · clockwise
Brands Hatch in Fawkham, Kent, United Kingdom, is modeled here as the Grand Prix Circuit: 3,903 m (2.43 mi) of centerline run clockwise through eleven carded corners — three lefts and eight rights. Every speed, distance and lap time here is a physics-simulation estimate computed from track geometry, not measured data. Elevation shapes this lap: the reference line drops 12.7 m (42 ft) through Paddock Hill Bend, climbs 9.9 m (32 ft) at Surtees and 10.9 m (36 ft) at Hawthorn Bend — 73.8 m (242 ft) of climbing in all. Druids, a 25 m hairpin, is the slowest point at 61 km/h (38 mph); Sheene Curve has the highest entry, 180 km/h (112 mph). Simulated laps run from 1:31.3 on the liter bike to 1:35.8 on the middleweight twin.

Paddock Hill Bend is the longest corner on the course, a 258 m right at a 103.1 m effective radius that falls 12.7 m (42 ft) from entry to exit — the biggest single elevation change on the lap. The simulation arrives at 148 km/h (92 mph) in every class, brakes 105 m out on the supersport 600, 135 m on the liter bike and 72 m on the twin, and holds a 125 km/h (78 mph) minimum. The descent then adds to the drive: exits reach 171 km/h (106 mph) on the two larger bikes and 166 km/h (103 mph) on the twin before the braking for Druids.

Hawthorn Bend is a 198 m right at a 125.7 m effective radius that climbs 10.9 m (36 ft), the largest rise on the lap. The reference line arrives at 160 km/h (99 mph) in every class after the longest brake zone on the course — 108 m on the 600, 156 m on the liter bike and 66 m on the twin — and settles at a 138 km/h (86 mph) minimum. Exits read 158 km/h (98 mph) for the two larger bikes and 155 km/h (96 mph) for the twin, almost matching the entry, with Westfield Bend following.

Dingle Dell is the shortest corner on the card, a 54 m right at a 117.6 m effective radius, falling 2.6 m (9 ft). The simulation logs a 93 m brake application on the approach in every class — the same distance regardless of bike — from 140 km/h (87 mph) on the 600 and liter bike and 139 km/h (87 mph) on the twin, to a 134 km/h (83 mph) minimum. The exit is essentially the entry again: 139 km/h (87 mph) for the larger bikes, 138 km/h (86 mph) for the twin. The corner reads in the profile as a brief dip between Westfield Bend and the fast approach to Sheene Curve.
