Well yeah, but it's not a critisism of you.

The track before you started was unsavable. Hsot of completely tearing the place down and starting again, what can you do?:confused:

Chaynes321 · 13 May 2003, 19:52 (Ref:598265)

Thats what i would do

pirenzo · 13 May 2003, 20:01 (Ref:598275)

yep, i like it.

Chaynes321 · 13 May 2003, 20:09 (Ref:598278)

Good / Bad Idea ...

provide better slipstreaming down the straight

pirenzo · 14 May 2003, 07:38 (Ref:598517)

nah.

It's a pure power thing.

I'm back and I've got a new redesigned track, from CART. I didn't blindly redesign the track like I did the F1 tracks. I used from the track's website. The track is Monterrey, Mexico. You will notice two colors I used for the redesigning, black for the long circuit; and blue for the newly created (by me) short track. I know that the track cuts through grandstands, but why not demolish those grandstands and move them to the other side of the track? What do you people think?

pirenzo · 14 May 2003, 12:21 (Ref:598677)

Haven't they only just built that though?

mandretti39 · 14 May 2003, 12:24 (Ref:598678)

Yeah, but the changes I came up with are what I would like to see happen. I felt if the track is faster by eliminating slow corners, there may be more passing.

kay... Nice to c some activity inhere :-D... Bax in the w/e!

I came up with a new track. I named it after one of the Netherlands' most succesful racing drivers: Arie Luyendijk. Here it is:

pirenzo · 15 May 2003, 11:37 (Ref:599620)

Arie Luyendijk. How do you pronounce the dijk bit?
dyik? dijek?

Nice track though, with elements of Silverstone, and the Nurburgring i think

Lustigson · 15 May 2003, 11:45 (Ref:599625)

"Luyendijk" is the way Arie's name is spelled originally. He changed his name to "Luyendyk" after he moved to the US, because the Americans couldn't pronounce it either. I tend to use the Dutch version of his name, though, as do most in the Dutch press. Americans (and, I guess, other native English speakers) pronounce the last syllable much like they pronounce 'why'.

One question remains: don't you know Arie Luyendijk?

pirenzo · 15 May 2003, 12:08 (Ref:599643)

No i didn't, but after i posted that, i went to autosport's website, and saw the headline:

Luyendyk withdraws from Indy 500

I assumed that Luyendyk was Luyendijk.
I think i'll use the proper spelling though...
IRL isn't my thing which is why i haven't heard of him.

Lustigson · 15 May 2003, 12:12 (Ref:599650)

Luyendijk won Indy twice. He still holds the single lap AND four lap qualifying record.

pirenzo · 15 May 2003, 12:39 (Ref:599678)

Wow. But he still manged to stuff it into the wall and give himself mild concussion in the process. Still a bit drowsy yesterday so he's pulled out.

Luyendijk. I'll remember that one.

Lustigson · 15 May 2003, 12:42 (Ref:599682)

And what about Jan Lammers, then? 1988 Le Mans 24 Hours winner with Jaguar and current FIA Sportscar World Champion.

As you see, Holland isn't limited to just Jos Verstappen.

pirenzo · 15 May 2003, 12:45 (Ref:599685)

no, Jan Lammers i know, and I always remember him driving the Volvo 850 Estate in the BTCC in 1994 at Brands Hatch, and nearly winning. I loved that car. Also saw him in a F3000 race a few years ago, in 1998 i think it was (Incidentally, Montoya was in the same race. Ricardo Rossett won)

Lustigson · 15 May 2003, 12:48 (Ref:599690)

Yeah, I loved him in the Volvo!

I think Lammers has driven just about anything with four wheels. F1, F3000, F3, FNippon, Champ Car/Indy Car, Touring Cars, Sportscars... you name it.

Isn't your short track extension by number 24 going to cut right through the middle of part of the old ironworks/industrial site that used to be there? Parts of the old industrial heritage are still there, one of which is probably in the way.

the_royksopp · 15 May 2003, 13:49 (Ref:599731)

Uhh... Pretty nice LuyendIJk track, Lustig, but i just needed to make some changes...

I´m asssuming the track runs clockwise...

]t_r[
Who has to defend with Tom Kristensen and Jan Magnussen :-D... Though, Lammers is good... Luyendijk, never heard of him...

the_royksopp · 15 May 2003, 13:53 (Ref:599735)

lol... We almost need a forum for trackdesigning... This is not a normal topic :-D...

Though, its kinda cool, that its only a thread...

Lustigson · 15 May 2003, 13:59 (Ref:599739)

TR, something like this?
