Five seconds to study the circuit. One lap traced from the start line, the way it is raced. Then ten seconds to draw it yourself.
A circuit is not just a shape. It has a start line and a direction, and a driver carries both. Watching the lap traced turns this from a drawing test into a memory test of the route, which is why Interlagos and the Circuit of the Americas are in the pool: they are the two run anti-clockwise, and knowing which way a lap goes is half of knowing it at all.
Generously, and on shape alone. Before comparing, both loops are stripped of where you drew, how big, which direction round, where you started and how fast your hand moved. A few degrees of tilt is forgiven; ninety is not, because you were shown which way up it goes.
A wobbly but recognisable Suzuka scores well. A different circuit scores about thirty, and a circle about twenty.
Knowing the track is the easy part. In Chasing P1 you start at sixteen and find out how far your choices take you.
