About the circuit
Bishopscourt in County Down, Northern Ireland, is built on the site of a former RAF station.
Driving a lap
Bishopscourt Short is 1.34 km (0.83 miles) a lap in Apex Drawn, with 6 corners: 4 rights and 2 lefts.
Turn 1 is a hairpin right-hander - a heavy braking zone, and on the first lap the place most races are won and lost.
The tightest corner is Turn 1, a right-hand hairpin: brake in a straight line before it, and get the car turned early so you can be back on the throttle as soon as possible.
The longest straight runs from Turn 6 to Turn 1, so the exit of Turn 6 matters more than its entry: a good exit carries all the way down it.
The lap rises and falls gently - enough to feel the car go light over the crests.

Each car keeps its own best lap on every circuit, so Bishopscourt Short has a separate leaderboard for the GT, the Formula car, the kart and the hatchback. Start in the GT, which forgives a mistake; the Formula car is quicker everywhere but punishes a missed apex.
Signed in, you can also export it as a track for BeamNG.drive or Assetto Corsa, with its hills, kerbs and barriers.
