Pheasant Wood

Pheasant Wood has a tight, technical feel, with most of the lap spent in relatively low-speed bends rather than big, committed sweepers. The whole lap tends to pivot around corner 6, the quicker right-hander in the middle of the sequence that heavily influences how much speed carries through that central part of the track, with corners 1, 3 and 8 forming the other key time-makers as they each shape momentum into or out of the busier sections. The corners come in close succession with only short breaths between them, so the lap has a busy, almost kart-track rhythm where linking the repeated right–left changes cleanly matters more than outright bravery in any one high-speed turn.
