SKG should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
here we go.

Here's another "overhaul" project, upgrading a vintage circuit with modern design trends and safety standards. (Runs anti-clockwise, 3.8km Grand Prix circuit, longest straight 890m)

The first sector layout remains unchanged, with added run-off at the first turn. The first big change comes at the new turns 4,5,6 complex. This change was made to the circuit for 2 reasons, to slow down the the fast left hander onto the long back straight, but also to help create another overtaking opportunity (into the new turn 4).

Another change has been made at the end of the back straight for the same reasons that complex was added, to slow down the kink and the end of the straight and to create a spot for overtaking. Slowing down the run onto the back straight should also aid passing.

The final chicane was added purely for safety concerns, since the start of the pitwall is dangerously close to the exit of the final corner if the cars were coming through at high speeds.

Lemme know what you think!
