The island of Anglesey, located in the Irish Sea off the northern coast of Wales, in the United Kingdom, has a total population of 70,000 people and an MSA/ACU licensed motorsport facility, the Anglesey Circuit (in Welsh, Trac Môn). This facility hosts club events for the British Automobile Racing Club (BARC) and the British Racing and Sports Car Club (BRSCC). There are four possible configurations for racing at the Anglesey Circuit: the 3.4-km (2.1-miles) International Circuit, the 2.5-km (1.55-miles) Coastal Circuit, the 1.9-km (1.2-miles) National Circuit, and the 1.28-km (0.8-mile) Club Circuit. The oceanic climate of Anglesey tends to be moderately cold year-round, having cloudy skies and light precipitations regularly.
The International Circuit in Anglesey is the longest and most technical raceway in this motorsports complex. It has 11 turns, a clockwise orientation, and several straightaways and sweeping curves that elevate its average speed to 125 km/h (78 mph). Three of the turns are close-angled right-handers, and four are tight left-handers. There are no dramatic elevation changes in the trajectory, but multiple overtaking spots like the Tom Pryce straight make races in Anglesey very interesting to watch. The Coastal Circuit deviates from the International Circuit after Seamans, taking the Corkscrew instead of the Tom Pryce straight and going directly into the Bus Stop.
The Coastal Circuit of Anglesey runs parallel to the beach, bypassing turns 11, 12, and 13, taking instead the turn 14, called the Corkscrew, which goes directly from turns ten to 15. The resulting layout is shorter, with an average lap time of 1:17.1 and a speed average of 119 km/h (74 mph).
