My favourite one is the middle one. Has its challenges, but not too cvomplicated. Great one.

Agree the middle one.
The last one is just a little too complex and needs to be a lot quicker. The Top one is better. My only question about the middle one is the nature of the turns approaching the pits and the pit entry, but I like the speed and flow of the course. The top one has a better pit entry and complex but the twisty section is like a bad roller coaster ride to me. |

Here's the theory on my pitlane: When approaching the turn you can decide if you want to go out you just keep going straight,you don't have to slow down in the middle of the race line, once past the apex you are out of the race line.The pit exit I see the natural race line will be towards the inside of the curve, thus leaving free the upper part of the track where people re joins. ..or something... |

Well, in racing games it has happened to me a couple of times when the pit exit was on an apex that I negotiated the turn too fast, couldn't take the corner tight enough and ended up on the pitlane unintentionally

well February is running out of days, so I have to put at least one more
![]() Here's one I made just the ither night, no close up details, only track map. I used a different technique, hope you notice. It's CCW ,6.076 Kmm ,13 mts wide, main straight is ~786 M so the track its kinda big with large radiused corners, no geometry nor space efficiency here, hust imagine some rolling hills on the third loop making a copy of the cork screw there at the agude angled corner(theres a trend these days of reproducing some form of "the cork screw in new circuits) Last edited by LuiggiSpeed; 1 Mar 2011 at 02:59. |

Looks nice, like how it goes from fast corners to slow corners. Bout how long is it? I'm guessin 5-6k?

This recent circuit of yours is totally down my alley stylistically.
My OtherWorld(ly) Series would love to stage a race there - if it still existed. (I don't have the time to revive it at this point. Maybe I should compile a calendar of my favourite tracks from other designers for the series' reunification - and have a thread talking about whether or not they would compromise car setup enough to create an interesting season?) |

Definitely a departure from you Luigispeed. I have to say that I like it a lot.
Too ofter you confine yourself to fitting circuits into real world locations its really nice to see a "blank sheet of paper" design from you. And a superb one at that. I know you've put the pitlane on the outside as bridges and real life practicalities mean money saved by having the pits accessible, but for a design such as this I feel you could have pushed the boat out and suggested a bridge even if you hadn't drawn one to put the pits on the inside. Speaking of pitlanes, may I say forget the two circuit layout...this one is a beauty, the extra pitlane and spoil the overall look. Overall brilliant. |

SBF I take your words with honor! Thank you, definitely you all noticed the style difference.

Here's me again , this would be my 2nd march course, just doing numbers.
I'm trying to fit certain things into 200 acres, like a road course with a 1/4 mile drag strip.The course came out at 2.6 miles and I'll call it ...Yab..*ahem* ...march 3rd ![]() I know...it looks quite spaniard, geometric, purpose built road technical road course...Ole!! but it's not a karting track on steroids,its 825 mt straight, and those corner radius are fairly large.Should be pretty fun IMHO. What do you say? This time I'm actually begging for an edit, I want you to lay a road course where mine is, if you guys have the time. |

Would you be looking to hold drag and circuit events simultaneously in this *ahem fictional circuit. I'm wondering whether perhaps the return road for the Drag strip could be used as part of the road course.
Or whether a basic and extended road course would be viable whereby the Basic would be self contained and run at the same time as the Drag strip, but the extended version perhaps crosses or incorporates the out run of the Drag strip? |

Now if you look close, most of my circuits have been 2.5-3k club tracks, this one is 200 acres ![]() But I want(need) you folks to copy my framework, and use the bottom to design a track at least 2.2 miles, the whole thing measures 1200m x 667m(roughly 200acres) just because I seem to can't get rid of my squareness ![]() ![]() PD I'd like to make it splittable and it will have a bicycle section for criteriums and afternoon workouts(yes you read right) and a motocross track. |
