A track for optimists: Copse Corner is blind and taken at a good 160 km/h. Top drivers negotiate Bridge Corner at full throttle – with no chance to rectify if they miss the ideal line even slightly. The flat wing turns swift corners into a real adventure, the hard suspension set-up and strong camber require a cool head and a steady hand so as to make it to the finish without tyre damage.
Three wins to Britain from 18 Supercup races: Kelvin Burt (1994), Sean Edwards (2008), Nick Tandy (2010).
