pembrey circuit

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pembrey_Circuit

The track itself is very flat, given the airfield nature of its location. This makes it difficult for drivers to navigate round its 1.5 mile length, but once you've got the hang of it, it's a satisfying place to go racing. It combines some very fast straights, sweeping corners, and a tight hairpin to trap the unwary.

The start is placed halfway along the Park Straight, with the vicious Hatchets Hairpin awaiting the unprepared. It's a tight acute angled right-hander, with a decent apex position squirting you out onto a very short straight to the Spitfires Corner, which can be taken full tilt. The never-ending left-hander, Dibeni Bend, awaits with its multiple apexes.

Another straight brings you to the deceptive Esses right-hander. It looks gentle enough, but many vehicles have come a cropper in the banking after drifting (or being pushed) onto the grass.

Another quick spurt brings the Brooklands Hairpin. By no means is it as sharp as Hatchets, but a good exit speed is essential to carry speed through the length of the Speedway Straight and right-handed Woodlands Corner complex down to Honda Curve.

Honda Curve is a right-angled right-hander which brings you back to the start/finish straight. Another good apex speed and position is essential as cars can overtake you on the Park Straight if you're slow out of the corner. One and a half miles, eight corners and you're back for another lap.

If it helps I found this on board shot of a few laps. The guys look pretty fast though so I say mostly take note of the braking and throttle points and the curvatures.

F*ck me did anyone watch this ?? :shock: The last bit ??

That first hairpin right hand corner, when flat out trying to brake hard for it is mega challenging but to think someone might do this to you is OOOO MY F*CKING GOD. That has just ruined that bend for me :shock:

when doing trackdays there, i have always had a glance (life saver) before tipping in, as so many people over shoot it. failing that just keep on the inside of the corner when approaching, not the fastest way but certainly the safest.
ive seen many an incident on that corner!! oh by the way woodlands is flat out!!! :twisted:
