The track comes to a right-hand curve, then the course turns right through the flat-out section called the 'Follow Through'. Next is 'Hammerhead', a left-then-right corner, which again highlights understeer and oversteer. 'Chicago', a long right-hand around a tyre wall onto the main runway, was designed by Lotus as a steady state corner, designed to highlight understeer or oversteer of the chassis. The first bend is a fast right-left kink named 'Crooner Curves.' 'Willson Bend' is the first proper turn on the track and the first corner usually seen when The Stig is lapping a car. The course starts on the perimeter road outside the Top Gear studio. The track also incorporates a drag strip although this is not used for timed segments, it does feature in some challenges and other features on the show. It is considered to be an equaliser for cars since, according to Richard Hammond, both 0–60 miles per hour (0–96.6 km/h) times and top speed are totally meaningless. The track is approximately 1.75 miles (2.82 km) long. The layout of the track is designed to put the car through various conditions, ranging from provoking understeer to testing brake balance and tyres.

The track's main route, marked by painted lines and simple structures such as stacks of tyres, was designed by test drivers from Lotus. The track is on a former Royal Canadian Air Force airbase constructed during the Second World War and later used by British Aerospace as a manufacturing and test facility. It is used to test both cars and drivers seen on the program, mainly in Power Laps and Star in a Reasonably Priced Car. The track was designed by Lotus Cars as a testing facility for the Colin Chapman run company, with many of its Formula One cars tested there.

It is located at Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey, United Kingdom. The Top Gear test track is used by the BBC automotive television program Top Gear.
