Every layout raced here 2 in the timeline, 2 drawn
The outline is F1DB’s, for every layout; the trace is OpenStreetMap’s, where it exists. Each one is fitted to its own box, so these are not to scale: a longer layout is not drawn larger, and none of them carries a direction, a position or a start line. The drawing that opens the page is the latest layout raced or on the calendar here, not the longest. The length listed with each layout is this register’s, from its own sources; the figures under its drawing are F1DB’s, and at some circuits the two disagree.
