i like the club combo you have done, but the current club makes of one of the best overtaking spots at silverstone.

Purist · 30 Jun 2005, 19:00 (Ref:1344101)

I'll just say what my first thought was after I saw your versions Jam. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" And no, that version WOULDN'T be the proper Silverstone GP circuit.

Hey, and they thought Silverstone was fast in 1986? Monza is just as fast now!

German you say

Chaynes321 · 1 Jul 2005, 16:52 (Ref:1344857)

soz man its like you cut silverstone and hockeniheim in 2 and stuck them together

* i apologise for attacking your design as your a new member ... welcome to ten-tenths

Mike_Wooshy · 1 Jul 2005, 17:11 (Ref:1344868)

i for one really like that idea, i mean okay its not really doable the amount of run off needed for the long right hander after stowe. But i really like the new luffield he has came up with looks a bit multi-apex which corners i adore.

It wasn't my idea to put hockenheim and silverstone together

, but i think it creates a good passing opportunity at the abbey chicane

pirenzo · 1 Jul 2005, 22:33 (Ref:1345054)

I quite like that ricardo. Not sure it would really work in real life but hey, this is only a bit of fun

Certainly a lot fast now

Ian Sowman · 1 Jul 2005, 22:46 (Ref:1345060)

Lustigson, in posts 84 and 86 it looks like you have comprehensively buggered up the National circuit! You've obviously never seen four FF1600s going into Brooklands side-by-side to realise how the little chicane arrangement would so spoil the lap, and indeed all the fun would be taken out of Becketts and Luffield too...

pirenzo · 1 Jul 2005, 23:46 (Ref:1345079)

No need to take it that seriously Ian

Nope, I haven't.

You see there's room for the current aproach to Brooklands to remain. I could put it back on my design, but it's too much work for now.

Ehrm... I don't see what you mean, exactly. Please explain.

pirenzo · 2 Jul 2005, 10:41 (Ref:1345323)

You've put a chicane in it

(still looking at the nat circuit)

Lustigson · 2 Jul 2005, 10:56 (Ref:1345329)

OK, you meant Maggots... But wouldn't the tighter right-left corner mean better overtaking at that point? Perhaps the current configuration provides enough of that, though, I'm not sure.

Ian Sowman · 2 Jul 2005, 11:13 (Ref:1345341)

The great thing about Brooklands on the National circuit is that it is a high-speed blast into the corner then very hard onto the brakes... rather spectacular, and you would lose that on this layout. Becketts on the national circuit (which is what that chunk of the circuit is normally referred to in that configuration) is similar in some respects, and having a couple of changes of direction as opposed to one long, tight corner, with the exit speed as important as the entry, would spoil that.

Taking it too seriously? Almost certainly, but I don't see much point in redesigning a circuit and sucking all of the good bits out of it!

pirenzo · 2 Jul 2005, 11:51 (Ref:1345371)

The problem is Lustig, in lower formulae slower corners generally mean more pile-ups

Alwaysfirst · 29 Jul 2005, 21:10 (Ref:1366919)

Here's my go at Silverstone. I have moved the main pits to the Hangar Straight and have ocmpletely redesigned the stadium section. This idea was partly based on the proposed changes a few years ago.

the_royksopp · 30 Jul 2005, 12:25 (Ref:1367247)

The Silverstone-discussion just does not die

.

That's pretty nice, reminds me a bit of this proposal i made approx 1½ years ago.

Rockmunky · 11 Aug 2005, 19:59 (Ref:1380129)

Ok, i had a little mess around with Silverstone.

Not great, but good fun methinks.

Purist · 12 Aug 2005, 00:31 (Ref:1380316)

I don't even know where to begin on that last one, but yes, I'm sure it was fun.

I've got 2 Silverstone edits.
Silverstone 1: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=547185
Silverstone 2: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=564530

Rockmunky · 28 Dec 2006, 22:19 (Ref:1800791)

What was going on with my old edit...

Your first seems pretty good, but your second seems pretty impossible, and a bit too long IMO.

Here's my (way better compared to my old one) edit.
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=606172

formula1fan · 29 Dec 2006, 21:12 (Ref:1801466)

I have to agree on that one with you, Rockmunky.
