Olivk's tracks

So far i've done 2 and a half tracks in 3 years... i hope to change that. And since not all future tracks will be called Three Lakes Circuit i thought i'd start another thread and let the other one die.

So.. As a start here's the final version of the Circuit des Trois Lacs, a bit fine-tuned since the previous version.

Cheers
Olivk

Got enough of them, quite frankly

This one would be quite amazing for sportscars. Thank you for contributing.

Bad luck here's the next one An old idea that's been sketched a few times on paper.

Z-Ring is located right next to Zurich international airport, an area that's already noisy. The land plot is currently used by military as a training field and since i prefer motorsports to military stuff i didn't have too bad feelings planing a racetrack there.

This track is a but under 4.5 km, it's fast with a wide variety of curves and turns. It can be splitted in 2, a shorter racetrack and a training track for example.

This track would be suited to host about any kind of race car categories except F1.

The lant plot has a slight slope of about 5 meters, the pit straight would be down and T6-T11T12 would be up.

Unfortunately at this time the airport-runway parallel to the pit straight is only used for landings mostly incomming in opposite direction, so no plane-car race

I'm concerned about the logistics here: this seems to be a remote location. How are the teams and fans gonna get to the site from the closest airport?

Jokes aside, it's a seriously good looking one.

I don't like the chicane in the Green circuit. You say a training circuit, but there is nowhere with the chicane in place for a driver/rider to really open the throttle and experience higher speeds and the associated hard braking the next corner brings. Keep it an option for handling training perhaps.

The Big circuit...
T2 and T7 might be a little close in terms of T2 run-off.
Personally I don't feel the need for the double esses of 8-9 and then10-11, I'd arc out from 9 to 11 giving a faster apex on 11 and run down to 12. T10 could remain as an option.

Overall once again nice use of space within a real world setting. Yes like this one

There is a road that would need to be developped, with parking areas added etc.. i didn't use the whole military area so that should be manageable

The chicane is an option, up to the user to chose which configuration he wants But i'm not really sure it's a useful chicane anyway... I'll see what config will be used the most. When the track is built. If it is. Someday. Later....

Hmm yeah it's a bit tight there, i hoped the cars would lose enough speed in T1 to make T2 safe but i'm not sure.

I like esses But indeed it could be an option to bypass T10 but then i feel it would be too similar to T5-T6 ... and thanks

You could open T5 up a bit, making T4-5-6 really fast direction changes, opening out through T7 with T8 then being the harder stop, before accelerating out through 9 to 11. I think it would only require the apex of 5 to move a few metres

Circuit du Chablais

The region of Chablais is famous for its vinyards and for the Tamoil (Ex-Ghadafi's) oil refinery. The second one makes SLP (sportscar liquid propellant), the 1st one HLP (human liquid propellant), so it was quite naturally that this region got its own racetrack.

The track uses a plot of land between different industrial zones (A racetrack right across steep vinyards would be nice too but maybe a bit too much). It is in the same size category as Circuit des trois lacs and intended primarily as a club and testing track that could host a handful of racing events a year, mainly national series.

The terrain is flat, no elevation change. It's in the middle of the Alps and it's FLAT

Funny, I believe I've driven right down that road to the north of the track before. Twice.

Zürich-Kloten Airport, good memories. Very fine place to put a racetrack indeed. I was just there in June and then in July so I have, er, first-hand experience without the layout. All in all, very good track. I love that triple-apex corner!

Of course, Zürich traffic can be horrendous (like as bad as Paris) so I'd expect getting in and out would be a nightmare. Not a bad place to be stuck, though.

Very good track! 9/10!
