dont ask about the name..

Basicaly this track is long. 4.5 miles in a clockwise direction. I also included my pioneering (

) height graph that I used to use on my more well known tracks like Mount Eccosse. Anyway, its below, tell me what you think.

Nice blot shape, and I like it in general. I'll elaborate more in the morning, though, when I'm less tired.

LuiggiSpeed · 30 Aug 2008, 01:27 (Ref:2277831)

Love the upper section, I just enjoy those kind of tracks.

TilkeWannabe · 30 Aug 2008, 06:26 (Ref:2277879)

You don't slow down properly until you get to Turn 8! How cool is that! It's a bit long for a F1 circuit but WHO CARES! The flow of it is just superb, the shape is great, shape-wise,to me it looks like Watkins Glen and Zandvoort and because of the length of it, it definitely reminds me of Spa.

I wouldn't change a thing, it's just fine the way it is IMO. Kudos Nicky!

EDIT: Nicky, where would I be able to find Mount Eccosse? I'd love to have a look.

I like the track. Offcourse I háve to complain about the paddock-tunnel, wich is built at the place where the armco's are as far from eachother as possible, creating a long dark expensive tunnel. The part between 11 and 12, the highest part of the track, seems much more appropriate. And it's close to your tunnel.

shambles · 30 Aug 2008, 11:00 (Ref:2277994)

Instead of run-off, why don't you just put walls all the way around the circuit for motorcyclists to crash into?

(Nice circuit)

Tathrim · 30 Aug 2008, 16:57 (Ref:2278168)

the runoff types haven't been entirely detailed, if you look.

My only problem with the circuit design itself is the runoff at 7. else I like it a lot.

I get the thing about the length...but in reality if its an F1 standard track, which it seems to be, then the cost of a tunnel isn't really to prohibative when the total cost of the track is around $300,000,000 as seems to be generally the case these days. I even saw a plan for a track a couple of months ago where the budget was $750,000,000! With those kinds of budgets even a $500,000 luxury tunnel isn't really a massive expenditure.

Nice track though, Nicky.

I agree with the guys saying that there are a few runoff problems, but all of them can be easily fixed with a track that is that long.
I congratulate you on the daring move to make Turn 1 a full throttle corner.

bio · 8 Sep 2008, 10:51 (Ref:2284544)

Well, I don't think anyone would have the guts/stupidity to negotiate that corner full throttle - especially after a long straight...

I'd certainly give it a try

Maybe down a gear if it was in a GT car

bio · 8 Sep 2008, 19:28 (Ref:2284980)

Well, if Mr. Stirling Moss himself would try it then I'm taking it back right now

nickyf1 · 9 Sep 2008, 21:10 (Ref:2286024)

haha, I had Suzuka in my mind for 1 and 2. For this track it would be flat out as tun 1 has some camber, then lifting off and down a gear for the flat turn 2.

TilkeWannabe · 10 Sep 2008, 02:24 (Ref:2286173)

Hope your next track is as good, if not better than this one.

At the moment I am experimenting with a Program called GIMP, so one should pop up in the near future. Search GIMP in the Search box and look at Pirenzo's track threads to see the level of detail that can be acheived with it.

However, I dont even know how to texure anything yet..

bio · 12 Sep 2008, 01:55 (Ref:2287681)

GIMP is a fine one for a free software.

V8_TURBO · 16 Sep 2008, 20:20 (Ref:2292067)

Named after Noah and the Whale?

Purist · 16 Sep 2008, 20:35 (Ref:2292074)

That would be Jonah in the belly of the whale. Noah built that boat known as "the Ark".

nickyf1 · 18 Sep 2008, 14:59 (Ref:2293210)

omg. he is back.

I was listening to Noah and the Whale yes.

Now go away
