02Overview
What Circuit de Dakar Baobabs is like to drive.
The circuit of dakar - baobabs layout at Circuit de Dakar Baobabs is 2.89 miles with 19 corners worth setting up for. A generic track-day car in our model brakes hard 16 times a lap and is at full throttle for about 45% of the distance; the longest straight runs roughly 935 ft.
5 of the corners are slow (under 50 mph in the model), 7 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 Circuit de Dakar Baobabs 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 Circuit de Dakar Baobabs.
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.

Tour 1
↰ LeftmediumcornerTRACK numbering
A medium left-hand corner that turns about 66°, tightening to a radius of roughly 30 m (98 ft). The model car brakes for about 135 m (443 ft), from 117 to 57 mph. The computed line turns in from the right side, takes an early apex, about 10 m before the geometric apex, and lets the car run out to the right on exit.

FAQ
Circuit de Dakar Baobabs, answered.
How long is Circuit de Dakar Baobabs?
The mapped centerline of Circuit de Dakar Baobabs is 2.89 mi (4.65 km) in OpenStreetMap. Published lengths are measured differently, so small differences are normal.
Which direction does Circuit de Dakar Baobabs 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 Circuit de Dakar Baobabs with my phone?
Yes, with the TRACK iPhone app (beta). It recognises Circuit de Dakar Baobabs 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 Circuit de Dakar Baobabs?
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 Circuit de Dakar Baobabs?
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 Circuit de Dakar Baobabs?
This page lists hotels, campgrounds, restaurants, fuel and parts stores near Circuit de Dakar Baobabs from OpenStreetMap, with straight-line distances. Book early for big event weekends.
