02Overview
What Blue Circle Raceway is like to drive.
The full circuit layout at Blue Circle Raceway is 1.01 miles with 4 corners worth setting up for. A generic track-day car in our model brakes hard 4 times a lap and is at full throttle for about 42% of the distance; the longest straight runs roughly 787 ft.
2 of the corners are slow (under 50 mph in the model), 0 are fast (over 75 mph). There are hairpins where exit speed matters more than entry. The corner notes below come from the mapped geometry, not from local knowledge; we’ll add a researched guide for Blue Circle Raceway later.

The speed trace is a model, not a real lap: a generic track-day car (about 1.1 g of cornering grip, 1 g braking, 150 W/kg) driven on the computed line through an assumed 12 m wide track. Use it to see where the braking zones and flat-out sections are, not to predict your speeds. Elevation data for this track isn’t loaded yet.
04Corner by corner
The corners at Blue Circle Raceway.
TRACK’s own corner numbering (C1, C2…), found from the curvature of the mapped centerline. It isn’t the official turn numbering. Each diagram shows the computed line: the minimum-curvature path through an assumed 12 m wide track. It’s a geometric starting point. Your instructor’s line comes first.
- C1
Slow left-hander
↰ LeftslowhairpinTRACK numbering
A slow left-hand hairpin that turns about 158°, tightening to a radius of roughly 20 m (66 ft). The model car brakes for about 180 m (591 ft), from 123 to 41 mph. The computed line turns in from the right side, takes an apex close to the geometric apex, and lets the car run out to the right on exit.

Medium left-hander
↰ LeftmediumcornerTRACK numbering
A medium left-hand corner that turns about 85°, tightening to a radius of roughly 34 m (112 ft). The model car brakes for about 120 m (394 ft), from 108 to 58 mph. The computed line turns in from the right side, takes a late apex, about 5 m after the corner’s geometric apex, and lets the car run out to the right on exit.

↱ RightmediumcornerTRACK numbering
A medium right-hand corner that turns about 85°, tightening to a radius of roughly 38 m (125 ft). The model car brakes for about 40 m (131 ft), from 76 to 52 mph. The computed line turns in from the left side, takes an early apex, about 35 m before the geometric apex, and lets the car run out to the left on exit.

05Time it with TRACK
Drive Blue Circle Raceway. TRACK knows where you are.
No setup and no transponder. Start a session in the paddock and TRACK recognises Blue Circle Raceway and the layout from your GPS trace, then times every lap and sector with a live delta to your best.
- 1DetectTRACK matches your first few hundred metres against every mapped layout at Blue Circle Raceway, including shared pavement between configurations.
- 2Confirm the lineThe start/finish line here is estimated. When you’re stopped, TRACK shows it on the map: accept it or tap to move it. You’re never asked while driving.
- 3Laps, timed retroactivelyLaps you drove before confirming are timed from the recorded trace, so you don’t lose your first session.
- 4Go furtherSync a GoPro for video with telemetry and let TRACK Engineer point out where the time is. External 10–25 Hz GPS receivers for tighter sectors are awaiting hardware validation.
- Venue and layout detection is tested on simulated drives over real OpenStreetMap circuits, not yet in a real car. Compatible GPS receivers

FAQ
Blue Circle Raceway, answered.
How long is Blue Circle Raceway?
The mapped centerline of Blue Circle Raceway is 1.01 mi (1.62 km) in OpenStreetMap. Published lengths are measured differently, so small differences are normal.
Which direction does Blue Circle Raceway run?
OpenStreetMap doesn’t record a direction for the main layout at Blue Circle Raceway. Venues sometimes run both ways. TRACK takes the direction from your first laps.
Can I time laps at Blue Circle Raceway with my phone?
Yes, with the TRACK iPhone app (beta). It recognises Blue Circle Raceway and the layout you’re driving from GPS, then times laps and sectors. A phone’s GPS is good for lap times; an external 10–25 Hz receiver tightens sector splits.
Where is the start/finish line at Blue Circle Raceway?
TRACK estimates the line from the mapped geometry (usually beside the pit lane, or on the longest straight). It isn’t verified on site, so the app asks you to confirm or move it before timing your first session here.
How do I find track days at Blue Circle Raceway?
Clubs and organizers list HPDE, track days and club races on MotorsportReg. The venue’s own calendar lists its events too. TRACK doesn’t list events itself.
Where can I stay near Blue Circle Raceway?
This page lists hotels, campgrounds, restaurants, fuel and parts stores near Blue Circle Raceway from OpenStreetMap, with straight-line distances. Book early for big event weekends.
