race track maps in print?
I've been looking to find books or magazines with good detailed race track maps. I've got Joe Saward and Jim Bamber's World Atlas of Motor Racing which has some okay maps but great artwork of many tracks, and I have Peter Higham's International Motor Racing Guide which has some basic line drawings of track layouts. What I'd like to find is detailed track maps preferably in color. A book or magazine with something like this in it is something I've been looking for, for a long time. The best I've seen so far were in the 1998 Champ Car preview put out by Racer magazine for the CART series, but it would be neat to have detailed maps of F1 circuits, national and international sports car tracks, ovals etc. If anyone can point me to something like this, that would be great.

I suppose some of us in the My Tracks forum could have a crack at making some ourselves for you, depending on what you want? Only problem is design consistency - we'd end up using different colours etc

I'll try to find something similar to what I'm talking about and post it later to give an example of what it is I'm talking about.

Here is an illustration to more clearly define what I'm looking for. This map is directly from the CART series magazine I mentioned before.
http://www.trackhq.com/forums/attach...fo-midohio.gif Here's anther good one of the same track: http://www.imsaracing.net/2008/event...yout%20Map.jpg Color isn't that important, just makes it easier to see, but I like the track maps that show the layout of the access roads, the garages, the grandstands etc. I want to find a book with this stuff in it (if there is one) because it combines two of my interests, auto racing and maps. |

The only person who could have come close to producing that type of Detail in the My Tracks Design section was a user called bio. Before moving onto Google Sketch Up he used a brilliant Map making software
Sadly he doesn't post here any more but his fictitious work is there for all to see... bio's circuits |

Ahhh bio - Great guy. Shame he's not around anymore!
Lovely designs, too. I remember playing one of his tracks on rFactor - so awesome. Selby |
