02Overview
What Donnybrook Raceway is like to drive.
The full circuit layout at Donnybrook Raceway is 1.72 miles with 7 corners worth setting up for. A generic track-day car in our model brakes hard 6 times a lap and is at full throttle for about 40% of the distance; the longest straight runs roughly 1083 ft.
1 of the corners are slow (under 50 mph in the model), 2 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 Donnybrook 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 Donnybrook 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
Fast right-hander
↱ RightfastcornerTRACK numbering
A fast right-hand corner that turns about 81°, tightening to a radius of roughly 37 m (121 ft). The model car brakes for about 60 m (197 ft), from 97 to 89 mph. The computed line turns in from the left side, takes a late apex, about 125 m after the corner’s geometric apex, and lets the car run out to the left on exit.

Medium right-hander
↱ RightmediumhairpinTRACK numbering
A medium right-hand hairpin that turns about 150°, tightening to a radius of roughly 28 m (92 ft). The model car brakes for about 135 m (443 ft), from 113 to 51 mph. The computed line turns in from the left side, takes a late apex, about 5 m after the corner’s geometric apex, and lets the car run out to the left on exit.

A medium left-hand corner that turns about 96°, tightening to a radius of roughly 31 m (102 ft). The model car brakes for about 55 m (180 ft), from 82 to 64 mph. The computed line turns in from the right side, takes an early apex, about 95 m before the geometric apex, and lets the car run out to the right on exit.

A fast right-hand corner that turns about 41°, tightening to a radius of roughly 34 m (112 ft). The model car brakes for about 45 m (148 ft), from 94 to 83 mph. The computed line turns in from the left side, takes an apex close to the geometric apex, and lets the car run out to the left on exit.

The computed line turns in from the left side, takes a late apex, about 170 m after the corner’s geometric apex, and lets the car run out to the left on exit.

Medium left-hander
↰ LeftmediumhairpinTRACK numbering
A medium left-hand hairpin that turns about 142°, tightening to a radius of roughly 28 m (92 ft). The model car barely brakes here, carrying about 50 mph: a lift or a confident throttle balance. The computed line turns in from the right side, takes a late apex, about 10 m after the corner’s geometric apex, and lets the car run out to the right on exit.

A slow right-hand hairpin that turns about 165°, tightening to a radius of roughly 17 m (56 ft). The model car brakes for about 130 m (427 ft), from 108 to 46 mph. The computed line turns in from the left side, takes a late apex, about 5 m after the corner’s geometric apex, and lets the car run out to the left on exit.

05Time it with TRACK
Drive Donnybrook Raceway. TRACK knows where you are.
No setup and no transponder. Start a session in the paddock and TRACK recognises Donnybrook 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 Donnybrook 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
Donnybrook Raceway, answered.
How long is Donnybrook Raceway?
The mapped centerline of Donnybrook Raceway is 1.72 mi (2.76 km) in OpenStreetMap. Published lengths are measured differently, so small differences are normal.
Which direction does Donnybrook Raceway run?
OpenStreetMap doesn’t record a direction for the main layout at Donnybrook Raceway. Venues sometimes run both ways. TRACK takes the direction from your first laps.
Can I time laps at Donnybrook Raceway with my phone?
Yes, with the TRACK iPhone app (beta). It recognises Donnybrook 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 Donnybrook 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 Donnybrook 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 Donnybrook Raceway?
This page lists hotels, campgrounds, restaurants, fuel and parts stores near Donnybrook Raceway from OpenStreetMap, with straight-line distances. Book early for big event weekends.
