Donington Park Circuit (CW) Track Map

The Donington Park Circuit runs clockwise starting in the Wheatcroft Straight, with high-performance vehicles hitting 200 km/h (124 mph) before downshifting to enter Redgate at 100 km/h (62 mph). The Craner Curves come next, followed by the Old Hairpin at corner number four. Starkey's Bridge goes downhill at 220 km/h (136 mph), and the 90-degree turn at McLean's leads into another acceleration sector. The Starkey's Straight is the fastest in Donington Park, with velocities as high as 250 km/h (155 mph), and The Esses provides a considerable speed reduction before the abrupt halt at the Melbourne Hairpin, where racers need to travel at 50 km/h (31 mph) to remain in control. The tight-angle Goddards end the races with a three-dimensional challenge, as drivers need to face the elevation change before entering into the final stretch of the raceway.
