SILVERSTONE INTERNATIONAL

[I cOpse

First things first, this guide kicks offfrom the National Pit and Paddock (not the

International Pit). The old start straight is a pretty fast one and you'll want to be far to the left of the broad circuit on the approach to the superfast Copse corner.

The most visual guide for a braking reference is the lights bridge that arches over the track.

Even on a litre bike you should

. be hard on the throttle until you've reached this feature, . ··· . ··· before switching to some hard braking and a down change in

··· . preparation for Copse. It's easy to

. run in too deep to the blind right hander, but the trick to nailing

. this corner is to scrub off a bit

. of entry speed in favour of hard

. acceleration on the way out. The

. apex is a straightforward one, but be prepared to start driving hard

. the minute the corner opens up

. and you can see the run up

. towards Maggots. Don't be afraid to use all of the track's width on your exit.
