About the circuit

Castle Combe is in Wiltshire, laid out round the perimeter of a wartime RAF airfield, and has been racing since 1950.

Driving a lap

Castle Combe is 3.00 km (1.86 miles) a lap in Apex Drawn, with 8 corners: 6 rights and 2 lefts. That makes it a lap heavier on the right-handers - one side of your tyres does most of the work.

Turn 1 is a medium-speed right-hander.

The tightest corner is Turn 3, a left-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 8 to Turn 1, so the exit of Turn 8 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.

Castle Combe is in the Club Classics pack, which isn't on sale yet. You can see it in Play → Real circuits in the game, and race the free circuits there today.

Each car keeps its own best lap on every circuit, so Castle Combe 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.
