02Overview

What Castle Combe Circuit is like to drive.

The full circuit layout at Castle Combe Circuit is 1.87 miles with 11 corners worth setting up for. A generic track-day car in our model brakes hard 8 times a lap and is at full throttle for about 51% of the distance; the longest straight runs roughly 1066 ft.

3 of the corners are slow (under 50 mph in the model), 2 are fast (over 75 mph). The corner notes below come from the mapped geometry, not from local knowledge; we’ll add a researched guide for Castle Combe Circuit later.

Model speed (generic track-day car)

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 Castle Combe Circuit.

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.

    Fast right-hander

    ↱ RightfastcornerTRACK numbering

    A fast right-hand corner that turns about 32°, tightening to a radius of roughly 81 m (266 ft). The model car barely brakes here, carrying about 112 mph: a lift or a confident throttle balance. 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.

FAQ

Castle Combe Circuit, answered.

How long is Castle Combe Circuit?

The mapped centerline of Castle Combe Circuit is 1.87 mi (3.01 km) in OpenStreetMap. Published lengths are measured differently, so small differences are normal.

Which direction does Castle Combe Circuit run?

The main mapped layout runs clockwise, from one-way tagging in OpenStreetMap. Check the event’s driver briefing: some venues run reverse-direction days.

Can I time laps at Castle Combe Circuit with my phone?

Yes, with the TRACK iPhone app (beta). It recognises Castle Combe Circuit 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 Castle Combe Circuit?

The line TRACK uses comes from a start/finish point placed in OpenStreetMap. 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 Castle Combe Circuit?

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 Castle Combe Circuit?

This page lists hotels, campgrounds, restaurants, fuel and parts stores near Castle Combe Circuit from OpenStreetMap, with straight-line distances. Book early for big event weekends.
