Wallace Park Raceway
Located near Stirling in central Scotland, this is an FIA top grade circuit, suitable for any event. Incorporated in the design is large exhibition and conference centre (concert venue) owned and operated by the circuit owners.
The light blue infield areas are the corporate and hospitality zones, linked together and with the VIP carparking area by executive mono-rail. The access road leading into the paddock, is controlled at the junction with the perimeter, with Zone 5 of the Exhibition centre being an unloading/parking area for exhibiters and their trucks. The Red areas indicate permanent grandstands with the green sections being spectator mounds, some of which could be used for temporary seating at major events. The circuit itself is anti clockwise, with turn 1 being a long and tightening right hander (similar to Shanghai). Turns 2 and 3 drop gently down hill onto a short straight which passes under the mono-rail. Turn 4 is a 90 degree left hander which marks the start of a climb up hill that continues through turn 5 and the double apex turn 6. The long sweeping turn 7 leads onto the downhill back straight, with turn 8 being a challenging downhill right hander, Braking for turn 9 is difficult as the circuit is naturally bumpy as the terrain levels out. Turn 10 is a slight kink, leading into a series of near constant radius turns (11,12 and 13) which gently climb as the go. Turn 14 is a slightly off camber right hander, which leads over the access road bridge before a sweeping turn 15 brings the drivers into the final turn 16. A fairly wide hairpin which leads back over the start finish line. Circuit length would be approximately 3.5 miles (5.5km) of which the start finish straight would be in the region of 0.5/0.6 miles (0.8/1.0 km). |

Yeah it's pretty cool, but I think it would be more of a bike track to be honest. In parts, it's way to twisty for F1 or general cars for my eyes.
The twists in the top right, remind me of the Sachenring. |
