02Overview
What Kirkistown Circuit is like to drive.
The full circuit layout at Kirkistown Circuit is 1.60 miles with 23 corners worth setting up for. A generic track-day car in our model brakes hard 18 times a lap and is at full throttle for about 39% of the distance; the longest straight runs roughly 1181 ft.
14 of the corners are slow (under 50 mph in the model), 1 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 Kirkistown Circuit 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 Kirkistown 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.

Slow left-hander
↰ LeftslowchicaneTRACK numbering
A slow left-hand chicane that turns about 175°, tightening to a radius of roughly 8 m (26 ft). The model car brakes for about 140 m (459 ft), from 113 to 36 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.

Every mapped loop at Kirkistown Circuit.
TRACK finds each closed loop in the OpenStreetMap raceway network. Named layouts come from OSM circuit relations; the rest are named by length, and some may be combinations the venue never runs. Your first session confirms which one you drove.

06Time it with TRACK
Drive Kirkistown Circuit. TRACK knows where you are.
No setup and no transponder. Start a session in the paddock and TRACK recognises Kirkistown Circuit 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 Kirkistown Circuit, 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
Kirkistown Circuit, answered.
How long is Kirkistown Circuit?
OpenStreetMap maps 6 closed loops at Kirkistown Circuit, from 0.70 mi to 1.60 mi (2.58 km). These are mapped centerline lengths; the venue’s published figures can differ slightly.
Which direction does Kirkistown Circuit run?
OpenStreetMap doesn’t record a direction for the main layout at Kirkistown Circuit. Venues sometimes run both ways. TRACK takes the direction from your first laps.
Can I time laps at Kirkistown Circuit with my phone?
Yes, with the TRACK iPhone app (beta). It recognises Kirkistown 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 Kirkistown Circuit?
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 Kirkistown 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 Kirkistown Circuit?
This page lists hotels, campgrounds, restaurants, fuel and parts stores near Kirkistown Circuit from OpenStreetMap, with straight-line distances. Book early for big event weekends.

TRACK is not affiliated with or endorsed by Kirkistown Circuit, MotorsportReg or any business listed here. The venue name identifies the location only and belongs to its owner. TRACK shows no lap records or official results for this venue. Driving advice is general: your instructor, the event’s rules and the venue’s rules come first.
