Donington Park (National Circuit)

Castle Donington, United Kingdom · 3.19 km · 1.98 mi · clockwise

Donington Park's National Circuit in Castle Donington, United Kingdom, is modeled here as 3,186 m (1.98 mi) of centerline run clockwise through ten carded corners — four lefts and six rights, the Roberts chicane counted as Turns 9 and 10. Every speed, distance and lap time on this page is a physics-simulation estimate computed from track geometry, not measured data. The profile is a fast, sweeping first half — Hollywood, the Craner Curves, Starkey's Bridge and Schwantz Curve all hold minimums above 169 km/h (105 mph) — followed by three medium-radius rights and the 17.4 m Roberts hairpin, where speed falls to 51 km/h (32 mph). The lap climbs 39.3 m (129 ft) in total. Simulated laps run from 1:10.6 on the liter bike to 1:14.7 on the middleweight twin.

The lap opens with Redgate, a 174 m right at a 50.4 m effective radius, nearly level with a 0.7 m rise. All three classes arrive at 119 km/h (74 mph) in the simulation, and the brake zones are long for the speed involved: 135 m for the supersport 600, 177 m for the liter bike and 96 m for the middleweight twin. Minimum speed settles at 87 km/h (54 mph) across the board. The exit is where the classes separate — 148 km/h (92 mph) on the 600 and liter bike, 141 km/h (88 mph) on the twin — and it feeds directly into the fast downhill run through Hollywood and the Craner Curves.

The first element of the Roberts chicane is the tightest corner on the course: a 63 m right at a 17.4 m effective radius, essentially level. The reference line reaches it at 108 km/h (67 mph) in every class after the longest braking effort of the lap — 147 m on the supersport 600, 189 m on the liter bike and 108 m on the twin — and drops to a 51 km/h (32 mph) minimum, the slowest point on the simulated lap. Because the left-hand second element follows immediately, the exit is contained at 79 km/h (49 mph) in every class; at this radius all three bikes are grip-limited and post the same figures.

The second Roberts element is an 81 m left at a 49.7 m effective radius with a 0.7 m rise. The simulation arrives at 74 km/h (46 mph) and the minimum equals the entry — the model logs a long brake application on approach, 207 m for the 600, 249 m for the liter bike and 168 m for the twin, but sheds nothing inside the arc. The corner is effectively the launch onto the pit straight: exits climb to 138 km/h (86 mph) on the supersport 600 and liter bike and 132 km/h (82 mph) on the twin. Simulated laps finish at 1:10.6 (liter bike), 1:11.9 (supersport 600) and 1:14.7 (twin 650).
