Donington Park (Grand Prix Circuit)

Castle Donington, United Kingdom · 4.01 km · 2.49 mi · clockwise

Donington Park in Castle Donington, United Kingdom is modeled here as the Grand Prix Circuit: 4,008 m (2.49 mi) of centerline run clockwise through 12 carded corners — seven rights and five lefts — with 47.0 m (154 ft) of total climb. The venue prints no turn numbers; the numbering here is travel order from Redgate, with the Fogarty Esses as Turns 9 and 10. Every figure on this page is a physics-simulation estimate from track geometry, not measured data. The lap splits into a fast first half — four corners above 170 km/h (106 mph) from Hollywood to Schwantz Curve — and a slow loop through the Esses, the 48 km/h (30 mph) Melbourne Hairpin and Goddards. Simulated laps: 1:34.5 liter bike, 1:35.9 supersport 600, 1:39.4 middleweight twin.

  • Tightest corner: Turn 11, Melbourne Hairpin, 15.2 m effective radius, 48 km/h (30 mph) simulated minimum
  • Fastest simulated point: the Craner Curves, 190 km/h (118 mph) on exit with a 183 km/h (114 mph) minimum
  • Longest simulated brake zone: 183 m before Turn 9 (Fogarty Esses) on the liter bike, 141 m on the 600
  • Simulated average speed: 143.0–150.6 km/h (89–94 mph) depending on class

Redgate opens the lap as a 174 m right at a 56.0 m effective radius, rising 0.7 m (2 ft). The simulation brakes 126 m out on the supersport 600, 162 m on the liter bike and 90 m on the twin from a 116 km/h (72 mph) entry to a 92 km/h (57 mph) minimum. The long arc then becomes a drive zone: the exit is 148 km/h (92 mph) on the two larger bikes and 142 km/h (88 mph) on the twin, and the line keeps accelerating down through Hollywood and the Craner Curves.

The Fogarty Esses are carded as two corners. Turn 9 is the left-hand entry, 69 m long at a 24.2 m effective radius, rising 0.4 m. It carries a long brake zone — 141 m on the 600, 183 m on the liter bike, 102 m on the twin — from a 114 km/h (71 mph) entry to a 60 km/h (38 mph) minimum, the third-slowest point on the lap. The exit is 88 km/h (55 mph) in every class, held down because the right-hand second element follows immediately.

The Melbourne Hairpin is the tightest corner on the card: 105 m of right-hand arc at a 15.2 m effective radius, rising 1.2 m (4 ft). The simulation brakes 135 m out on the 600, 162 m on the liter bike and 108 m on the twin from a 73 km/h (46 mph) entry to a 48 km/h (30 mph) minimum — the slowest point on the circuit, identical across classes. The exit is 121 km/h (75 mph) on the two larger bikes and 116 km/h (72 mph) on the twin, driving up the short straight to Goddards.
