About the circuit
Brands Hatch is in Kent, in a natural bowl that began as a dirt track for motorcycles in the 1920s. The Indy circuit is the short loop round the bottom of the bowl; the Grand Prix circuit adds the long run out through the woods. Paddock Hill Bend, the plunging right-hander at the start of the lap, is one of the best-known corners in Britain.
Driving a lap
Brands Hatch Indy is 1.92 km (1.20 miles) a lap in Apex Drawn, with 5 corners: 3 rights and 2 lefts.
Turn 1 is a medium-speed right-hander.
The tightest corner is Turn 2, a right-hand slow corner: 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 5 to Turn 1, so the exit of Turn 5 matters more than its entry: a good exit carries all the way down it.
It is a hilly lap, with crests and dips that change where you can brake and how much grip the car has over the top of a rise.
Race it
Free to race
Brands Hatch Indy is one of the free real circuits: open Apex Drawn, go to Play → Real circuits and pick it - no account needed.
Each car keeps its own best lap on every circuit, so Brands Hatch Indy 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.
