A few of my latest edits

[jab]

Some stuff I've been working on recently

Jerez


Aida

Still not sure about the infield

Fiorano


Jacarepagua (Rio dJ)

Slightly based on Tilke's proposal (yes, I stole the hairpin at Sul)

[Yannick]

Oh yeah, I like your Aida.

[Alwaysfirst]

I like your changes at Expo 92 & Michelin on Jerez. I think they'd work very well.

Great edits, but the chicane removal at Jerez could be going a bit too far, as it was put in for safety reasons.

[Purist]

If it's safe enough for the bikes, I'm not sure I see the problem.

[jab]

The way I've done it should make more run-off available. The problem with the corner was that there was very little run-off there, hence Martin Donnelly huge crash there. Plus you could increase the run-off there still further

[Alwaysfirst]

This is what I'd do with Jerez. I'd keep Jab's 1st section but with the original rest of the track. I'd then move the pits so cars like F1 would be able to run without the chicane again.



I believe that Donnelly's accident was made a lot worse than it actually was by the construction of the carbon fibre used in his car. I'm not sure what it was exactly but I think it had something to do with the carbon fibre being constructed in loops or something like that which caused it not only to shatter up but also to completly unravel taking the rest of the car with it. Not certain about that but just something I had heard.

I have had a couple of goes at Aida:

I have three versions for Aida, basically around the same principle. The main changes are involving the second part of the circuit, I like the first part of the track.

As you can see, I extended the run from the Hair Pin, to the previously named Revolver now named Hobbs. It's now a double left handed apexer, taken at hight speed - it would fall away in a decline as well, much like the original revolver did. Piper is now loosened, but still a challenge.

Version 1


In this first version, I took inspiration from the parabolica at Monza, but flipped it over - it would be pretty interesting I think you'd agree, with it tightening to a point, before a launch again all the way for turn one, which in 1994 and 1995 was a bit of a overtaking hotspot.

Version 2


This version is essentially, the same, but with more of a familiar approach to the Parabolica idea.

Version 3


This final version, is basically a marriage between the two parabolica corners. I matched the opposing ideas I had previously, and brought them together at a point. After a bit of fine tuning, I came up with this massive radial corner; which requires a straight, which bends towards it's entry. It would be vital to get the line right, and it would be made to be greasy - to lack grip, so that a driver with a better run through it could make the most of the mistake made by the driver in front, to line up a

As my good friend Jab said over on another froum, maybe these would be a bit too short for F1, but oh well.

[Alwaysfirst]

I like the second one best. Aida isn't a circuit at which overtaking is easy so the Parabolica would help. Whilst I like the Hobbs corner I think it would be slower than you are thinking. I'm not sure it would be possible either due to the required runoff at Williams. I feel generally that Aida could be a very good circuit if only it was widened & extended. A longer run into the hairpin would be good as well.

[shambles]

Yeah some good points there A_F.

I figure it would be quite quick, maybe a downshift on entry due to the run from the hairpin being quite short. I quite like the idea of extending the run down to the Hair Pin, so I'll experiment with that.

[shambles]

OK - here's a few more versions;



This one sees an extended run down to the hairpin, before a revised double apex corner. I like this one.



This one sees a multi apex corner.



The same idea, but with a shorter run.

[V8_TURBO]

Second one is my favourite.
