Some of my new circuits
It's been a while since I posted a new circuit but I have been working on several at once so you can have all of them in 1 go!
First Pennine Raceway-This is a new circuit for GB to be built just north of Leeds. This would allow huge numbers of people to access it easily. All the corners are named after British drivers, some well known, others not so much. Coming down the very long (about 1 mile) McLaren Straight the circuit decends a hill increasingly steeply to the James Hunt hairpin-a tight 1st gear corner that encourages late braking moves. The track then goes back up the hill where it goes through a series of esses, each one slightly faster than the last (Hill, Clark, Moss, Collins). The circuit continues ascending up the Lewis-Evans Straight before reaching Williamson, the first really fast corner on the circuit. Continuing through Watson the track goes through nearly 270 degrees before turning through the fast right of Hawthorn. Just after Hawthorn the circuit goes over a blind crest before going steeply downhill to the very fast, banked Pryce corner. Going back uphill on the Brundle Straight the track passes through the flat-out, blind kink of Stacey corner, before continuing uphill on the Blundell Straight to the highest point of the circuit at Beuttler Corner, a very difficult corner due to it's negative camber which pushes the cars right to the edge of the track on the exit. After the Ireland Straight comes Hailwood and Warwick, a slow chicane complex that provides a good overtaking oppertunity for drivers that have managed to come through Beuttler together. After Warwick come a series of downhill esses (Purley, Surtees and Courage) before the cars turn through Stewart corner, a steeply cambered corner. Drivers must stay on the inside on the exit for a good line through Mansell, a decreasing radius corner that leads on to the main straight again for the start of another lap. The rest will be posted later today. ps. After clicking on the link, to see the image properly you must click on the image again to show it at it's original size (everything is very blurred if you don't). |
