Great idea indeed!
Like Purist and dyewat suggested first we need to establish the parameters to build up a "rule of thumb".
Perhaps we then can turn this into a challenge
Altough (as you pointed out yourself) I don't believe a straight/corner compromise racetrack is necessary to create a slipstreaming track (e.g. Dijon Prenois).
I agree it is good formula for succes.
Feel free to add, delete, adjust/refine
Parameters, value (my opinion);
1. percentage of straight (+800m) on the track, >60% (as I said above)
2. minimum length of a straight, +900m (The most important one I think)
3. corners per track, ? (I believe of no importance)
4. corners per mile, ? (imo not really that relevant)
5. corner radius/speed before entering the slipstreaming straight, ? (compare the two slipstreaming temples of speed Monza and Reims)
6. average corner radius, ? (tough one, high speed corners demand more downforce then a hairpin/chicane thus affecting you're corner/straight compromise)
Given the amount of parameters maybe it's best to leave out borderline tracks.
