You're shown the bare outline of an F1 circuit — no name, no labels. Type a guess from the list of current Grand Prix circuits. You get five guesses, and each wrong guess reveals one more clue about the track: its country, length, number of turns, then race laps. Name it in as few guesses as you can.

Where do the track shapes come from?

Each outline is the real racing line, traced from official Formula 1 car-position telemetry (OpenF1) on a fastest lap — so the shape is the genuine circuit, not an artist's impression.

How often does the circuit change?

A fresh circuit is set every day at midnight UK time. The puzzle is the same for every visitor on a given day, so you can compare scores.

Do I need an account to play?

No. Apex is free to play with no login, and your run is saved locally on your device. A free Pitbrain account adds your time to today's leaderboard and tracks your record.

Can I share my result?

Yes — once you finish, the Share button copies a spoiler-free row of green and red squares showing how many guesses it took, without revealing the circuit.

Apex Guess the F1 Circuit

Name today's F1 circuit from its outline alone. Five guesses — each miss reveals another clue. Fresh track at midnight UK.

How to play

You get the bare outline of an F1 circuit — guess which Grand Prix track it is.

Type a circuit name and pick it from the list to lock in a guess.
You have five guesses. Each wrong guess reveals one more clue — country, length, turns, then race laps.
The outlines are the real racing line, traced from F1 car telemetry — so the shape is genuine.
Finished? Share the spoiler-free 🟩🟥 grid — the circuit stays hidden.

A fresh circuit drops at midnight UK. Same track for everyone that day. No login needed.

Scoring

You get six guesses. The circuit outline starts bare and reveals another clue — country, first corner name, lap record — with each wrong answer, so an early guess is worth far more than a lucky late one. A clean solve in one or two is a strong result; most players land on three or four.

Tips for a better score

Start with the overall shape: street circuits are angular with 90-degree corners, purpose-built tracks flow.
Count the long straights — two long straights with heavy braking zones usually means a power circuit like Monza or Spa.
Look for signature corners: a banked final turn, a hairpin after a tunnel, a triple-apex left.
If you are unsure, guess the continent first and use the reveal to narrow the era of the track.

The Formula 1 behind apex

Circuit recognition is how engineers and drivers talk about setup. A track's shape dictates downforce level, gear ratios and tyre choice — Monza runs the skinniest wings of the year, Monaco the fattest. Learning outlines is the quickest way to start predicting who will be quick where.
