yeah i noticed this ive found out while i was doing my next track that i simply forgot to colour the panel underneath the raised panel where they met. pretty simple mistake that we can all make

**ScotsBrutesFan** · 17 Dec 2010, 02:37 (Ref:2805426)

Even better though time consuming is to erase the underneath bits altogether.

LuiggiSpeed · 18 Dec 2010, 03:50 (Ref:2805861)

this is way out of my league

SpeedingTortoise · 25 Dec 2010, 02:10 (Ref:2808318)

This is going to be my last track for the year and unlike bio's, SBF's or mattt's, its not xmas related. Its just released on xmas day.

Full Circuit - 3.7mi Short - 2.6mi Both clockwise S/F-Tunnel - 20m Tunnel-T11 - 15m

Figur of eight designs are usually not my favourite ones (dunno why, i just don't like them), but this one looks very good to me. You've got speed here, you've got technical parts here, there are overtaking spots - everything you need for a good track.

Thumbs up on this one.

WOW that's an interesting track, great effort on elevation changes and tunnel, you're surely a great artist and your graphics are among the best thought out. The concept of the tunnel and the eight I do like, I have some doubts about the pit exit though,it looks like there could be an accident if someone slides out of the course in that very fast corner can clip someone exiting, I'm not sure but what would change is, I'd make the pit exit straight rather than angled, that will clear out any issues IMHO, and not mess with the design.

Tathrim · 25 Dec 2010, 15:20 (Ref:2808394)

An excellent track as always.

NB: Looks like a less extreme version of a track SBF posted in the pre SketchUp days, if I'm honest. If this makes no sense, I'm going to find a pic later. Good job in any case

Tathrim · 27 Dec 2010, 10:25 (Ref:2808732)

'Scuse the double post, but I found it!!

Which I then went on to re-do in sketch-up form here

I have to say though that isn't the one that comes to mind.

The first half of the circuit does however look very much like one of my designs...Topo

I do see something there. Maybe this is the 'Scot' style of track

LuiggiSpeed · 28 Dec 2010, 02:22 (Ref:2808905)

I agree this track somehow reminds me of an SBF tracks, not any one in particular, just the concept and alternate tracks.

SpeedingTortoise · 6 Jan 2011, 21:44 (Ref:2812140)

Happy New Year guys. Heres my latest Full - 3.0mi Short - 1.4mi both Anti-Clockwise no elevation changes

bio · 6 Jan 2011, 22:54 (Ref:2812172)

Looks about great to me. Both thumbs up!

LuiggiSpeed · 6 Jan 2011, 23:44 (Ref:2812185)

I like it and in fact I have a similar one in my vault somewhere, so I agree very much with your circuit. I'd like to see the middle section resolved a little roomier, I see it's kind of tight in there with people running back and forth in a small space, that would be the only thing I'd constructively criticize.

bio · 7 Jan 2011, 19:31 (Ref:2812670)

In fact, I quite like that buzz there. No runoff issues, but a lot of atmosphere - quite a sight for the spectators

ECW Dan Selby · 8 Jan 2011, 11:54 (Ref:2812886)

Fantastic stuff mate. At a glance reminds me of Paul Ricard, but as you go through it, it feels like a Japanese style track.

Works absolutely fine without the elevation, and you got some good options there.

Selby

bio · 8 Jan 2011, 12:49 (Ref:2812900)

Yeah, Paul ricard came to my mind - plus maybe the round-the-lake version Buenos Aires.

Good one anyways

werner · 10 Jan 2011, 10:20 (Ref:2813599)

A big thumbs up from me! You won't get bored quikly on this track. It has it all. I foresee great slipstream-duells on the straight. Turns 2-3 are a blast. The next section reminds me of Assen, and that is good. I see some interesting complex cornershapes in the last section as well. To put another feather in your behind, I think the spectators are given some great places to watch the races. Great job!

ECW Dan Selby · 10 Jan 2011, 10:22 (Ref:2813600)

Yep you're right - And Assen!

Two great tracks, mind you..

Selby

SpeedingTortoise · 11 Jan 2011, 18:34 (Ref:2814343)

Thanks for all the comments. i got influenced from your comments about the track having a great atmosphere and the stands being well placed so id thought id try and design some kind of automotive stadium not sure if it worked though Full circuit 3.3mi - Outer 2.3mi - Short 2.0mi All clockwise No elevation

Tathrim · 11 Jan 2011, 21:41 (Ref:2814431)

By all accounts this is a FANTASTIC track for spectators, and there are one or two good overtaking spots for racers. couple of concerns with the runoff.

the first of these is the LRL opposite the long curve behind the paddock (T10 - T12 by my count), as I feel the sections are too close together. the others is the runoff at T1 before the hairpin, and the turn 3 sweeper mentioned in the previous case. Given the speeds they're doing, some runoff would be useful.

Oterhwise, good effort.

LuiggiSpeed · 11 Jan 2011, 23:29 (Ref:2814458)

The last corner can be literally the last corner for someone, in the track or in the public.

I'll have to do something about that

bio · 12 Jan 2011, 11:12 (Ref:2814614)

I agree with Tathrim: superb! I love when a track features a little bit of everything - this one does: long straights, fast, mid-speed and tight corners, chicanes - you name it. The gravel traps are well placed and sized. The length of roughly 5 km also seems to be ideal.

Yep, the last two corners have a little problem - the stands have been put on the gravel trap - but that can be dealt with easily.

All in all, both thumbs up!

Oh, and Luiggi asked me to tell you: he forgot to mention that he loves the efficient use of space here
