Oulton Park

Turn 1, is a fast, slightly uphill right-hander that kicks off the lap. The approach is along the pit straight, which subtly curves left, so car placement before braking is critical. The corner is deceptively shallow on entry but tightens on exit, with grass and barriers waiting if you run out of road. Early in a session, it’s a confidence tester; in a race, it’s a hotspot for first‑lap drama.

Turn 2, is a fast, downhill right‑hand kink that’s flat‑out in most cars but still demands precision. The crest makes the car feel light, so any abrupt steering or throttle change can unsettle it. The main goal here is to be perfectly placed for the heavy braking into Cascades.

Turn 3, is a long, downhill, cambered left-hander that rewards commitment and precision. The braking zone is bumpy, and the positive camber on the inside lets you carry more speed if you place the car correctly.

Turn 4, is a fast, flowing left that sets up the heavy braking into Shell Oils. Entry speed is high, and the road subtly compresses mid-corner. It’s all about carrying momentum while leaving the car stable for the hairpin.

Turn 5, is a tight, 180‑degree right‑hander with pronounced positive camber. Hit the brakes hard, then use the banking to help the car rotate before powering out with maximum drive.

Turn 6, is a flat‑out right‑hand kink that’s more about positioning than cornering speed. The road is slightly uphill here, and the goal is to place the car perfectly for the braking zone into T7 at Britten’s.

Turn 7, is the first element of the Britten’s chicane, a committed left that sets the rhythm for the whole sequence. The curbing is aggressive, so you need to manage how much you take to avoid unsettling the car.

Turn 8, is a quick right flick in the middle of Britten’s. It’s all about a clean, balanced change of direction from T7 so you can set up the final left and maximize your drive uphill.

Turn 9, The final left in the Britten’s sequence. Curbing is usable but can unsettle the car. The track starts to climb after the apex, so you want to be on the throttle as early as possible.

Turn 10, is the first part of the Hislops chicane, a tight right‑hander approached at high speed after the long uphill run from Britten’s. The braking zone is slightly downhill and bumpy, so stability is key.

Turn 11, is the second part of the Hislops chicane, a tight left that rewards a clean, balanced transition from the right‑hand entry. The kerb is usable but can unsettle the rear if you’re too aggressive.

Turn 12, is a medium‑speed right‑hander with a slightly uphill exit. The braking zone is short, so precision is key. Over‑braking will kill your momentum up Clay Hill.

Turn 13, is a fast, uphill left kink that’s flat in GT3s. The compression at the bottom gives you grip, but as you crest, the car can feel light, so smooth inputs are key.

Turn 14, is a fast, flat‑out left kink with minimal steering input. The track is still climbing slightly here, and the surface is smooth, so grip is high. Your main job is to position the car perfectly for the Druids braking zone.

Turn 15, is a long, cambered double‑apex right‑hander. The first apex is about setting the car up; the second is where you really commit to throttle for the run to Lodge.

Turn 16, is a slow, late‑apex right‑hander at the end of the lap. The braking zone is bumpy and slightly downhill, so it’s easy to lock fronts if you’re greedy. The apex is late and on a crest, so patience is key.

Turn 17, is a flat‑out blast over the crest to the start/finish. The car will go light here, so keep it straight and stable.
