It's a well laid out circuit making best of what available. Your representations of it are excellent as well.

On first glance Gorbachov and the Moscow curves around to Kvyat remind me of Brooklands and Luffield and Woodcote at Silverstone.

Though of course in your design these are run in the opposite direction, the seem to flow into one another, without a real overtaking place, resulting in Gorbachov being a Choke point.

Here's one for the older members...I'd reverse the direction.
Give Putin and Petrov corners rather than just curves, and the run from Petrov to LukOil I'd straighten out giving LukOil a distinct right hander opening into the left on exit that runs to the hairpin.

Curious as to why you choose Kazan, did you notice that there is a real racing circuit just North of that location at Kinderi ?

I didn't even realize that Kinderi even existed. When I made this, I thought that the only 2 tracks in all of Russia were Sochi and Moscow Raceway. I chose Kazan because it is the "sports city" if you will of Russia, and it is much closer to the population center than Sochi.

Circuit of the Americas Redesign

Made a few modifications to COTA. Hopefully, it looks a lot less like Tilke garbage. I lenghtened some straightaways and straightened out the esses. It is 3.11 miles long, same direction and pits complex as it is now.

Strathaven Circuit

Strathaven Circuit is a 2.17 mile (3.49 km) counterclockwise circuit located west of the village of Strathaven, in Scotland. It features a mix of elevation change, fast, and slow parts. Primary uses would be the British Touring Car Championship and other national series, as well as open track days.

Deep South Speedway

A superspeedway in New Iberia, Louisiana. The superspeedway is 2.3 miles long, and the roval is 3.62 miles. Primary use would be NASCAR, and the ALMS and United Sports Car series. IndyCar and ARCA would be the secondary uses. Turns are banked at 29 degrees, the frontstretch is banked at 17 degrees, and the backstretch has 7 degree banking.

Nice!

I like the asymmetric quad-oval and the road course config (maybe a bit more runoff at turn 1 needed?).

Anyone know much about oval banking? 29 degrees though the turns sounds good, the front and backstretch sounds a bit steep though, but I'm probably wrong...

If you didn't know, you can change the number of straight line sections in a curve in sketchup, by clicking on the arc tool, and before drawing the arc, type a new number to replace the default 12. I usually double it to 24. This might help with the smoothness of the longer arcs like on this oval.

It looks really good, I should use this renderer more...

29 Degrees is fairly steep. Daytona, which is 2.5 miles long, has bankings at 33 degrees. The front and backstretches are normal for superspeedways of that length.

As someone with superspeedway experience, I fear the quad oval because 1) that never really works too well with pack racing and 2) the second bit will get cut quite massively by using the legends oval which is just asking for an incident. Also doubt Indy would come because the length and banking of it all.

1. NASCAR currently races on 3 quad ovals (Charlotte, Texas, and Atlanta)
2. NASCAR prohibits drivers from dipping down into the apron by the legends oval. The wider part past the finish line is part of the roval.

None of those three ovals are restrictor plate tracks or even superspeedways (because we definitely need three [theoretically] identical tracks on the calendar, and we need to go to each twice). I don't trust that a tight restrictor plate pack will get through a quad oval cleanly more than a few times, all things considered.

Valparaiso Grand Prix Circuit

A 3.18-mile (5.12 km), counterclockwise circuit located in Valparaiso, Chile. A use would be for a South American Grand Prix, one of the final races of the F1 calendar. Touring cars would be another use. The circuit consists of a relatively fast first sector with a few tight turns, a technical second sector, and a flat-out third sector. Also, the straight between turns 13 and 14, in addition to being a flat-out DRS zone, also has a downhill. The track is a little on the narrow side, at about 35 feet. The turn names are the names of South American/Mexican F1 drivers; they go as follows:

1. Juan Pablo Montoya
2.Sergio Perez
3. Pastor Maldonaldo
4. Ayrton Senna
5-6. Variente de Felipe Massa
7. Juan Manuel Fangio
8. La Familia Fittipaldi
9. Oscar Galvez
10-11. Variente de Rubens Barrichello
12-13. Los Hermanos Rodriguez
14. Jose Gonzalez

And no, the pit straight grandstand is not mine. All of the other structures are, however.

Memphis-Arkansas Speedway

A 1.53-mile (2.46 km) NASCAR-style oval located in LeHi, Arkansas; which is about 15 miles west of Memphis. It is located on the site of a former dirt oval of the same name and length, which was abandoned in 1957. It features turn bankings of 25 degrees in turns 1-2, 23 degrees in turns 3-4, and 3.7-degree banking on the straightaways. These are very steep bankings for a mile-and-a-half track. The roval is 2.37 miles (3.81 km) and runs counterclockwise. Primary uses for the oval would be NASCAR, ARCA, and possibly IndyCar. The roval could be used by the United Sports Car Series.

Volgograd Street Circuit

A 2.23 mile (3.59 km) clockwise circuit located in Volgograd, Russia. 13 corners. Uses would be Touring Cars and possibly local Formula car series, and maybe Formula E (the track is a little long for Formula E, though). Main grandstands would be located along the start-finish straight, which runs parallel to the river. Goes up a steep hill after turn 1 and down another steep hill after turn 8.

Nairobi Ngong Road Circuit

A 2.82 mile (4.54 km) clockwise circuit located in Nairobi, Kenya. It is located in a park next to a horse racing track. Could be used for F1, MotoGP, and other top-level series, and other local series if they exist in the area.

As alway great work with the graphics and render. I do have one reservation on this circuit and that's the pit exit into Turn 2.
The racing line out of T2 pushes the car out to the right hand exit kerb, the pit exit appears to join along that exit kerb. My issue is that a drivers eyes will be on the apex of T2 and beyond not looking over to the right and the cars coming out the pitlane being held against the right hand Kerb by a don't cross line.
Do you have a more detailed view of the T2 rejoin?

Cayuga Speedway

A 2.68-mile (4.31 km) clockwise track located near the site of the old Cayuga Superspeedway in Ontario, Canada. Could be used for NASCAR (the Cup Series, Xfinity, Trucks, and Canadian Series), IndyCar, United Sports Car and other North American racing series. Like many of the classic North American tracks, such as Mosport, Brainerd, and Mid-Ohio.

North Texas Speedway

A 0.89-mile (1.43 km) NASCAR-style oval located in Wichita Falls, TX. Although a short track, it features very high bankings (30 degrees in the turns, 26 degrees on the front straight, and 14 degrees on the back straight). Therefore, cars are able to maintain high speeds, around those that are reached at Dover. Would definitely pose a unique challenge to the drivers.

Corpus Christi Airport Raceway

A 2.0 mile (3.22 km) counterclockwise track located on the site of an abandoned airport in Corpus Christi, TX. The site also contains a drag strip, made out of one of the old runways. The gravel trap off of turn 5 would probably have to be extended over the drag strip when the circuit is in use. Primary uses would be NASCAR (possibly a race during the Chase, a road course then would throw a curveball the drivers' way), IndyCar, IMSA Sports Car Series, and other American racing series.

Milan Street Circuit

A 3.15 mile (5.07 km) street circuit in Milan, Italy. Features a good blend of fast straights, tight corners, and fast corners. A lot like Baku in some aspects, in my opinion. Uses: Maybe a second F1 Grand Prix in Italy, but this seems like more of a touring car/sports car/Le Mans/endurance-style track to me.
