Oulton Park: The Definitive Circuit Guide (inc. Onboard Footage)

Driver61's Oulton Park circuit guide uses onboard footage to take an in-depth look at everything you need to be quick at this technical and fast UK circuit.

Pro-driver, Scott Mansell, analyses Oulton Park's 2.7-mile circuit examining racing lines, braking points, cambers and kerbs. See the full guide here: https://goo.gl/1YwJvV

Oulton Park starts with Old Hall, a medium-high speed right-hander with a tricky braking zone. You'll want to resist the urge to turn in too early, rather loading up steering angle gradually.

Next, the circuit heads downhill to the quick and cambered left of Cascades. Here you'll find a common trait for many corners at Oulton Park - more grip on the inside of the bend, thanks to the camber.

Cascades is followed by a straight that leads to the very quick and brave Island Bend. Possibly the most dangerous of all at Oulton, Island bend will require you to build up to your optimum speed lap-by-lap. Like Cascades, be sure not to run too wide here as you'll lose the benefit of the circuit's camber.

Momentarily after Island, the Shell Oils Corner follows. Late braking is required and once again the circuit gains camber, meaning you can carry lots of speed into the right-hand hairpin.

A short straight follows before the challenging Britten's chicane, the first of two at Oulton Park. Our circuit guide recommends being careful with the huge first kerb and carrying as much speed as possible through the second section of Britten's, as the exit is quite steeply uphill.

After a decent straight - where you should check your mirrors and temperatures - we have Oulton Park's second chicane, Hislops. Like Britten's before, you'll need to be careful with the large first kerb. The rest of the chicane is a compromise and your attention should be on the final exit out of Knickerbrook.
