About the circuit

Mallory Park in Leicestershire is built round a lake, and best known for Gerards, a long, constant-radius right-hander that seems to go on for ever.

Driving a lap

Mallory Park Chicanes is 2.05 km (1.27 miles) a lap in Apex Drawn, with 7 corners: 5 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 fast right-hander.

The tightest corner is Turn 5, 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.

2 corners are fast enough to take with little or no braking (Turn 1, Turn 4): commit to them and they are where a lap time is found.

The longest straight runs from Turn 7 to Turn 1, so the exit of Turn 7 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.

Signed in, you can also export it as a track for BeamNG.drive or Assetto Corsa, with its hills, kerbs and barriers.
