My Latest Circuit ...

... a bit different from my normal in some areas...

Please edit / place comments and tart up ;)

(last corner is my attempt at a parabolica)

Add in shortcuts at the top + bottom-right

erm, I think you meant to include a pic there ;)

My thoughts exactly.

lol oops ... http://img233.exs.cx/img233/2706/gp01054jl.jpg

lol.

Nice track.

a bit long maybe, shorten the infield?

What is the scale?

well i just drew it ... i wanted the back straight to be about 900m - 1,000m, so thatl make the start finish straight about 800m ...

At a guesstimate the track is about four miles in length, which may be a bit long. If you reduce your scale by a factor of about three-quarters it might work better. Isn't a 1km straight a bit long anyway?

1km ... shanghai back straight + bahrain start/finish are 1km ... yes they are long

ian are you going to edit it?

Yeah, it probably is a bit long.

Shanghai, Sepang and Bahrain all have 1km+ straights. I think Shanghai's is the longest, 1.175km or something.

Quite nice, CG! :).

Shanghai's is about 1.2km. The maximum allowed, according to FIA Appendix O, is 2km.

One of my old sesigns, which hopefully I'll figure out how to put into the computer, has a mile long front straightaway (1.6km), and a back stretch (it curves quite a bit) of around 2.5 miles (4km), which I've estimated gives the course a total length of 9.5miles (15.288km).

I love the classic road courses (Nordschleife, Spa-Francorchamps, Bathurst), so a four mile lap with a 1km straight isn't that massive in comparison. I guess it's all relative to what you're accustomed to.

here it is again with shortcuts ...

can someone please show their detailed views or do an edit ...?

is anyone going to edit this track or what?

Well, possibly. It is quite an effort though for someone elses track.
Try it yourself :)

And FWIW, I like the second one, its just a bit more varied, the infield section is a bit more taxing :)

fwiw?

For what its worth :)
