About the circuit

Croft is in North Yorkshire, on the site of a former RAF airfield. Its club layouts use parts of the full circuit.

Driving a lap

Croft is 3.29 km (2.04 miles) a lap in Apex Drawn, with 9 corners: 6 rights and 3 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 slow right-hander - a heavy braking zone, and on the first lap the place most races are won and lost.

The tightest corner is Turn 9, a left-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 9 to Turn 1, so the exit of Turn 9 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.

Coming soon

Croft 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 Croft 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.
