APEXGUIDE lets you drive a full lap of a real circuit from the cockpit before your track day. Take it at your own pace and watch your speed and braking as you go, so you know where to slow down and what's waiting over each crest. Onboard videos are fine until you're pausing every few seconds to work out where you are. Here you control the lap, so you can take the tricky bits as slowly as you like. Each circuit has a corner-by-corner guide and a reference lap time. There's also a knowledge base for your first track day, car prep, flags and driving technique. ApexGuide is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any circuit, its owners or any track day organiser. Circuit names are used only to identify the circuits covered.
