The Traffic across the Clyde in Glasgow is manic at the best of times, to take out 3 crossings would simply not be allowed as it would bring the near stationary traffic to a complete halt.
Glaswegian members would I'm sure agree.

Yeah, but these are FANTASY circuits. Some of them would be geographically impossible!

formula1fan · 22 Nov 2006, 18:06 (Ref:1772446)

As I promised, this is the first airport track in my series. It is on the runways of El Prat de Llobregat Airport in Barcelona, Spain. It IS long, but I tried to use up as much of the airport as I could! http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=540442

Ian Sowman · 22 Nov 2006, 18:27 (Ref:1772457)

I'm sure you'd have a lot more fun doing this if you clicked on the 'satellite' option rather than used the map. In the Barcelona airport example, you get an utterly different view of the lie of the land.

formula1fan · 22 Nov 2006, 21:54 (Ref:1772586)

Which is what I have done on my edits of real tracks, and I will start up another thread shortly, and post them.

formula1fan · 24 Nov 2006, 21:56 (Ref:1774358)

We now have a BRITISH airport track at Gatwick Airport. I have viewed it in satellite mode, and it looks great. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=540456
As always, comments and edits are welcome.

formula1fan · 26 Nov 2006, 17:27 (Ref:1775338)

No comments on Gatwick? Okay, here is #8: JFK Airport in the Big Apple. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=540494
As always, any comments and edits are welcome.

Rockmunky · 26 Nov 2006, 17:43 (Ref:1775353)

Cool, with JFK, perhaps have some faster corners, for example just before the third mile marker.

I have a comment on JFK. As I have been told before, racing at international airports, such as JFK would be impossible. JFK is one of the busiest airports in the world, shutting it down for three days would be insane. New York's other airports wouldn't be able to handle the extra traffic, as they are also busy. As I was told, try to find smaller airports, such as those that dont use the word "International."

What about Liverpool John Lennon Airport?

formula1fan · 29 Nov 2006, 21:49 (Ref:1778113)

Yes, here is another airport track. Please take note that these are fantasy tracks, and if they were to be used, they would only be used if the airport was shut down permanently. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=540498
As always, comments, edits, and suggestions are welcome.

formula1fan · 2 Dec 2006, 21:59 (Ref:1780516)

So, no comments on Dallas? El Toro MCAS in California now. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=540502
As I have always said, comments, edits and suggestions are welcome.

mandretti39 · 3 Dec 2006, 15:32 (Ref:1780973)

I can tell you right now, those last two tracks could be a problem. Imagine the speeds the cars would get after going flat out for a mile and a half. You better have a lot of runoff for the first corner for anyone who misses the braking point. Also, I would also consider a few temporary chicanes along the straight to help slow the cars down. I can picture in my head someone trying to pull off a pass into Turn 1 on both off those tracks, and locking up his brakes and plowing into someone at at least 150 mph, causing quite a mess.

formula1fan · 3 Dec 2006, 21:33 (Ref:1781172)

I'll see what I can do.

formula1fan · 3 Dec 2006, 21:39 (Ref:1781180)

As requested by mandretti39, here is a revised version of El Toro MCAS. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=571681

Jimmy Magnusson · 4 Dec 2006, 13:47 (Ref:1781671)

I'd suggest shortening it a bit: it's a very long track.

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=572588

jab · 4 Dec 2006, 18:38 (Ref:1781859)

What about this?

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=573046

Straights not too long, room for run-off, and I stuck a few combinations in there instead of just up and down straights all the time

formula1fan · 4 Dec 2006, 21:30 (Ref:1781998)

Both tracks are great, but I prefer jab's. Thanks guys.

formula1fan · 6 Dec 2006, 21:04 (Ref:1783599)

Okay, we are now going to San Francisco in California. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=540850
As always, comments, edits, and suggestions are welcome.

formula1fan · 8 Dec 2006, 22:01 (Ref:1785406)

Okay, I admit it. San Francisco International was rubbish, so that's why there were no comments. Race 12 is at Liverpool John Lennon Airport in Liverpool (as the name suggests!). http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=542164
Please feel free to edit the track, and comments are welcome.

mandretti39 · 10 Dec 2006, 14:23 (Ref:1786844)

Nice.

Rockmunky · 10 Dec 2006, 15:31 (Ref:1786864)

Wow, huge straights!!

formula1fan · 10 Dec 2006, 21:40 (Ref:1787123)

Thanks. I put the chicane in before the start/finish line to keep speeds in check, and for overtaking purposes.

formula1fan · 16 Dec 2006, 21:59 (Ref:1792357)

Back to the proper street circuits now, at Middlesborough in England. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=542169

formula1fan · 22 Dec 2006, 14:53 (Ref:1797736)

Why no comments on Middlesborough? London Heathrow Airport now. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=542176
Please feel free to do anything you want to this track.
