‍

Let’s take a look at this hot lap of Brands Hatch in the BMW M4 GT3 driven by HYMO.

The Track

Brands Hatch, one of Britain's most iconic racing circuits, has a rich history dating back to its origins as a dirt track for motorcycle racing in the late 1920s. The circuit evolved over the years, from hosting grassroots racing to becoming a staple in international motorsport, including Formula One. Its classic layout, known for challenging drivers with a mix of fast corners and undulating terrain, has seen numerous memorable races and legendary champions, cementing its status in the memories of racing history. Brands Hatch features two primary layouts: the shorter "Indy" circuit and the longer "Grand Prix" circuit. The Indy layout, at 1.929 km, is known for its high-speed corners and intense action, often used for national racing events. The Grand Prix circuit, extending to 3.916 km, includes the Indy section but adds the challenging and scenic woodland section, offering a blend of technical and fast corners. This layout is utilised for major international races, providing a comprehensive test of driving skill.

Analysis

The analysis below uses the Track Titan platform to compare a HYMO reference hotlap to one of the Track Titan community drivers through Segment 9. Below we can see that the community driver carries a little more speed into the apex, which causes them to miss the apex. The impact of this is that they are unable to get on the throttle as soon as the reference driver. The sharper trajectory also means they have to drop to a lower minimum speed. This costs them 0.2s on exit.
