International Circut

The corners of this circuit were named in May 2002. Starting at the start/finishing line (going anti-clockwise), the turn names are:-
Chicane
Deene
Yentwood
Pif Paf
Short link
Steel Straight
Graselands
Tarzan (the hairpin)
School Straight
Brook
Gretton
Turn 4 (back on the oval
Note that the historic circuit goes right at the Deene hairpin, going to Kirby corner before rejoining the Steel Straight.

"Link" Circuit

In 2006 a new variant was used, the 1.949 International Super Sports Car circuit. It largely follows the existing international circuit, but uses the reprofiled Bike Link onto Turn 4 to allow the cars the miss the Turn 1 chicane.
