TheNotSoHidden should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
After a week away,I present my latest track which should be a solution for the lack of motor racing in Singapore:

Tanjong Rhu Raceway

https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid...06028,0.011662

A Lap of the track:

This track is mostly meant to be run with touring cars or GT cars,though low-class open-wheelers are fine too.

The track starts with a run down into turn 1,a tight hairpin that is a definite overtaking spot.Then comes a short blast into turns 2 and 3,with a need to take turn 2 slower than you expect to get a good run out of 3 in order to try to overtake at the straight into turn 4,a medium speed left hander. Following that is a short blast into turn 5,a flat-out left kink that challenges driver's ability to be on the limit. However,there is not much time to go too far on the limit,as a turn right for turn 6 follows immediately afterwards.Turn 6 is quite a quandry,a double-apex right with the second apex not playing much of a role other than to make sure the track does not intersect with the paddock access road.

After turn 6 is a tight hairpin 7,that presents a probable overtaking opportunity for the daring.Turns 8 and 9 are two consecutive left turns that,although it looks easy enough,a smooth line is hard to obtain.Turns 10 and 11 are two quick kinks forming an esses section that is almost a mirror image of Albert Park's Waite chicane. From there,a long straight that passes the Sector 2 marker follows,though the straight gradually sweeps to the right near the end.The second true overtaking opportunity comes at Turn 12,a tight hairpin left that is oh-so slightly cambered. A short run to the final chicane,13 and 14,is present before blasting off on the back straight.

There are also two optional layouts that could be taken that make the track different. The Outer circuit connects Turn 5 to Turn 9,making 10 and 11 even faster while the National circuit connects Turn 2 to Turn 6,and makes Turn 7 a bigger overtaking opportunity than normal. The Main circuit is 2.14 miles in length,while the Outer and National circuits are an estimated 1.68 and 1.64 miles respectively. The dirt road that can be seen intersecting turn 2 is the paddock access road,and there is a bridge immediately before turn 2 that sees the access road go under the track.
