Quintin03 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Alkmaar motorsport complex

As there is not a single facility for motorsport of any kind in Surinam or even an FIA recognised ASN I though it was best to design a facility that can be used for anything that may be needed.

So here present to you the Alkmaar Motorsport Complex. The name comes from the village Alkmaar which is located near the capital Paramaribo. Don't be confused by thinking Alkmaar lies in the Netherlands. It does but not this one.

The track may apear to look like Bahrain and it does. I have chosen this shape as it provides good opportunities to create shorter configurations.

Here's a legend to the many colors:
Black: Main track layout, kart track, Rallycross start area and pitlanes.
Dark Grey: Other track options and paddock.
Light Grey: entry road.
Brown: Dirt sections.
Yellow: Run off.
Green: Grandstands.
Blue: permanent bariers

The line you can see, unless you're blind that is, in the top part of the image is 1 km long.

Good idea to use the national colors for the track. The only slight problem with it is that the black trackline is hardly discernible on the darb background image.

The track itself looks good indeed. Good speed and good corner profiles.

The only section I don't fully see the reason of is the right side of the track. After a slow corner, those curves are not fast enough for real action, but nor tricky enough for the technical drivers to gain anything there.

Otherwise i like this one.

Didn't even notice these are the national colours. And the esses after turn one. I wanted a switchback after the first turn. I know that can create an overtaking opportunity whether the driver is on the inside or the outside at turn one.

The first corner is absolutley OK, what I don't think is perfect is the section from T1 to what I count as t5, that short sawteeth section.

As for the colours, my bad: for some reason i thought we were in Jamaica, not Suriname... Sorry.
