Fuji Speedway - New Layout

3-mile oval sounds very long, Talladega is 2.66 mi, Daytona and Indy 2.5 mi. But as already Fuji roval is so unrealistic, 3-mile oval wouldn't be any more unrealistic. After a look at Google Earth, I'd say the best way to reach three miles would be to make it a tri-oval, not strech the main straight.

And that was just a simple modification, I didn't want to chop down the woods inside the new 300R. The section between those two lap-end hairpins could've been longer had had more turns. On the other hand, on another forum, somebody just said how A1-Ring was quite good a Tilkedrome, even if it doesn't have so great corners, it lacks Mickey Mouse corners that are just to make the lap longer. And I think current Fuji has too many Mickey Mouse corners an the end of the lap, and I wanted to avoid that.

I see, but I guess 2.9 Miles is sensible enough to repave Fuji into an roval with Yannick's layout.

Here's the 3-mile oval:





Due to the different oval, I modified the last rection of the roval, thus the roval with oval's turn 1 is 7.0 km and with the hairpin 5.3 km. The road course with no oval turns slightly shortened, yet is still about 3.8 km. Club circuit remained intact.

Very nice on the oval section, August.
