too twisty

u need to get rid of two of the twisty sections.

remember, a normal track has about 15-16 turns

your track has 22

when it comes to track design, simplicity wins.

A few questions Mr/s Kapil.

1) Does your circuit run clockwise, or anti-clockwise?
2) Have you taken safety measures into account?
3) Where would the circuit be located?
4) Have you considered infrastructure?

And a few suggestions.

1) As a circuit, it's way too twisty. There are a lot of slow corners after others in some places, consider cutting out the "big circle" on the left hand side of the circuit, and maybe re-routing a few roads.
2) I think Jason makes a good point when he says that simplicity wins.

I hope this helps mate, and the very best of luck

Regards,

Paul

My first reaction on seeing it was airfield circuit, or rather trying to make an airfield circuit not look like an airfield circuit.
Runway runing along the bottom, with a "cross" runway top left to bottom right, but with the ciruit breaking off and rejoining.

That in itself is no bad thing, but as other have pointed out, it's much too twisty and would leave little room for run-offs or gravel traps especially on the left hand side.
