Yes the Red section from the breakdown was intended to be a bit old-school possibly even a road in the style of the old Spa or current Lemans. I might still show an interpretation like that.
In the mean time I've completed the lower pit complex as well

Following on from above, I've added in some of the old road network on which the circuit is based.

I'll remove most of it again as it detracts from the circuit layout

Like it. It has a similar blot shape to my 4th track (my first with elevation), but it looks simpler and faster. There are a lot of technical corners. I particularly like the North part of the track.

I want to go drive on that track Love all parts, it's very various, fast yet technical, the opposite of a boring track! What i don't like about it is that it's fictional

This is the finished version, I'm not going to add building etc, I've spent long enough on it.

A reminder the full circuit as Drawn uses the East pitlane, runs Anti/counter Clockwise (as do each of the smaller circuits) and measures 4.365 miles or 6.983kms

Looking at this new track of yours for the first time, I thought it was clockwise and pretty good. Only the location of the runoff made me realize that I was looking at it in the wrong direction.

If I were a motor racing series promoter, I'd like to book this track to run clockwise and use the western pitlane despite the smaller paddock.

And Here is the second that I mentioned.
This one isn't finished but there is enough there for you to get the idea I'm sure.

Running Clockwise again with an External pit
This oversized Circuit Measures 6.706kms or 4.19 miles
There are options for shorter circuits in several places

The 2 extra angles show the the pit workings, still a little work required on the pit in.

I'm not feeling this one at all. If the track is 4.19 miles then most of the corners will probably be flat-out or near flat-out, which can be rather boring. Also, the whole section in the middle is nearly identical to the Kansas Speedway infield section. Sorry, my friend, it's not very inspiring, IMO. :/ However, I would feel a lot better if this track was 2-2.5 miles instead of 4+.

I count at least 7-8 corners that would be quite stupid to take "flat-out or near flat-out"...

As for the Kansas speedway infield section... that resembles suspiciously much the last section of the Monza circuit, so who's the copycat now?
You can't make a decent track design that won't have any sections resembling a real life track's certain section. Impossible.

Moving onwards

I've only outlined this one so far, as I'm struggling with what's best.

Looking at the full circuit I'd say Anti clockwise, but to use the bus-stop or not?

I think they should be anticlockwise but tbh, I dont see the point of that bus stop. If you need to slow the cars down, then why not have just the second half of the bus stop and have a slight curve towards it. It would be a more interesting corner and would still be an overtaking opportunity. I have also put my suggestions for the pit lanes in the pic below. Hope it helps.

The point of the bus stop is that it's optional, Clubbies using the North circuit might find that a 900m straight is a bit much, so the bus stop provides an overtaking point after 600m that is different from a standard triangle chicane, whilst bigger formula or Endurance cars wouldn't mind the long straight.

The pitlane is positioned as I would have it, though it wouldn't run all the way to the chicane.

On the Southern circuit, I hadn't considered the pit there for that direction

OK for the above circuit here are the Dimensions

GP no Bus Stop = 4.617 Km = 2.88 miles
GP With Bus Stop = 4.659 km = 2.91 miles

North No Bus Stop = 2.767km = 1.73 miles
North with Bus Stop = 2.808km = 1.76 miles

South = 1.714km = 1.07 miles

And I've added in pit complexes

I had intended on having this as a third October circuit but time escaped me.

I present it only as a line drawing this time running Clockwise.

The main straight can be run in various lengths with differing entrances and braking zones ranging from 640m through to 950m

The longest circuit length is 5.122km or 3.201 miles... this uses a 750m straight
The Shortest circuit is 4.986k or 3.11 miles ... this uses 844m straight.

Another seamless one there. The section between the S/F straight and the top "straight" seems most enjoyable.

This one is a bit stop start, but more for Touring cars than F1
It's unfinished but enough to get an idea...

Running Anti/Counter clockwise
Long Circuit is 5.011km or 3.13 miles
Short circuit 3.917km or 2.44 miles

I'm not fan of this infield section here - but otherwise not a word of complaint.

The first full complete circuit from me in a log while.

Runs Clockwise
Length is 4.660km or 2.91 miles

Technically 17 corners But for ease (t2 is the 90ish right, T10 is the Hairpin, T16 is the "parabolica" at the end of the lap).

There is a proposal shown below for a simple short cut reducing the circuit to 3.605km or 2.25 miles.

There has also been a suggestion, though no feasibility study carried out, on a shorter still version that would cut across the outward leg of the Hairpin linking T5 to T13.
