A new one
Here's something I have been Meaning to post...
Runs clockwise, goes steeply uphill at turn 1. The main paddock and support paddock would have major elevation between them. Uphill, then steeply downhill at the top of the first esses section. The rest is flat. |

I like it too. Nice layout, with entertaining and challenging corners, and well thought about infrastructure etc.
The only thing I would change is to get rid of the grandstand in front of the pits. Spectators cant see very much of the track, and it's blocking the view of the grandstands near the last corner. And they can't reach it, because a bridge or tunnel is (and should be, becaause of more view-blocking) lacking. |

It's very modern-looking facility. The idea of having a steep rise in the tight Turn 1 and a steep descent at the Esses at the bottom center of the track diagram is a good one. With the pitlane exit having to go through an even steeper rise, it will be quite a challenge to set up the speed limiter (!) so there is probably some additional income to be made for the organisers. Make sure that you as the circuit owner get a cut of these ;-)
Generally, the track is flowing very well all over. The combination of an infield section filled with front straight and paddock area and the surrounding circuit consisting mainly of different kinds of Esses with significant elevation changes is inspired. I like the circuit. Still, on my first look at it, I'd somehow like to move the optional chicane from the middle of the straight that it sits on towards the end of the straight, and I'd like to increase the runoff space of the 2nd right of the triple-right-hander close to the woods on the top left side of the track design. Good job. |

Oh, man, it's just superb. Plain superb.
How long is it? Reminds me of some of mine - either the track is long aor the S/F straight is short bio |

On second look, it reminds me of Mugello.
