Your own suggestion shows track lines quite close together what is the min separation?
That lack of info could be the reason yes that there are no suggestions uphere for a lay-out but this project could be a real one, like I explained in earlier posts.
But the design of the lay-out needs to be 3d visualized (in Rfactor) on the end to present it to the owner of the property. So I hope you guys will post some good designs and after we can discuss all together here which lay-out will be the best option. I already have seen some existing designs of you, SpeedingTurtoise, SKG thunder and Bio which already are attached to a oval like section so maybe only a few minor adjustments will do...

Try to maintain a total length of the "new" extension of about max. 4200 meter and a width of 12 meters.
If you can come up with a flowing track on 5-10 meters elevation change throughout the track would be nice and keep in mind that the south oval curve already has a banking of 70 cm height difference on 13 meters width, so that's like 15 degrees??
Just try to be efficient as possible with the cramped square area..Clockwise or anti-clockwise, you decide...

The minimum seperation between the track lines should be considered within a proper run-off area. An access road throughout the inside of the green soudwalls, especially north, east and a part of the south side is a good idea but maybe not very necessary, depends of the purpose, just a club track or intentions to hold an international racing series.

There are a few options for the pit area, the existing 840 meter sprint track/oval has a potential pit entry/exit which measures only 200 meters length on the east side. but if you want to have more space for a proper pitlane/paddock of about 300 meters length than the best option would be on the longest straight, on the left, west side. But the southside could also be suitable, just above the "new"parking area, paddock area..

The green soundwalls made of soil are 5 meters high and 10 meters diameter.
Those soundwalls are present on the southwest side and a part of the west side but needs to be extended throughout the whole outside of the property. Those green soundbarriers can also be used for grandstands.

About parking space, how many visitors will be attracted, for which events, it depends, if the intention is to get a FIA grade 2 for testing and GT series or WTCC, than the current parkinglot/paddock on the south side won't be enough and therefore could be used an extra area above the trees area. Like in the first sketch I left some space for parking.
