Streets of Lynn
Well, this is part of my contribution towards "4 Tracks"
Here it is, a street circuit based in Lynn, a town whose neighbour is Boston. The back straight goes along a road which would need developing, widening and resurfacing, as well as having strong armco barriers there to prevent accidents involving water. A few other roads would need preparing for race-track status, mainly widening, but this isn't a problem as there's enough space to move pavements and so forth. I've done a Wikipedia style map, and some close-ups done in Sketchup as to what the circuit might look like. I've also done a Gmaps Pedometer version too. Link is http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4175479 The Sketchup picture on the left is that of the pit-entry, whilst the one on the right is of T7 and a bit of T8 (the thick yellow line in that one is the racing line). That pcture blends in with the Google Earth picture, to give you a better idea of scale. I didn't do that with the pit-entry screenshot because it looked worse due to the pit-entry lines and so forth. The series I had in mind was IndyCar. Its 2.2 miles, and goes clockwise. Feedback is appreciated as usual Last edited by dyewat808; 4 Dec 2010 at 18:02. |
