"Manchester's mile-long circuit will start from the grid in Corporation Street at its Market Street junction. Drivers will be doing 70 mph long before they reach the end of Cross Street and brake hard for the first left-hander into Princess Street.
They will have time to reach only 40 mph before the right-hand hairpin into Lloyd Street, past the town tall and down to a right-hander into Deansgate, where they will be back at 70 mph again in seconds.
After turning into St Mary's Gate, they will accelerate past Marks and Spencer to begin another lap.
Although the 3.4 litre, 550bhp cars are capable of reaching 60 mph in three seconds and 100 mph in five - with a top speed of more than 200mph - safety considerations will keep speeds down and lap times are expected to be about two minutes.
There will be emergency run-offs at each bend and first aid posts throughout the course."
