Just another club track proposal

[LuiggiSpeed]

In my eternal pursuit for a propper and safe club track proposal, I've found a plausible site, I had designed a track here before,but unfortunately,I got too carried away and made it too big and too close to houses.Now I have accepted a relatively small track,for motorcycle and street car use,putting 250m of vegetation buffer zone between the closest parts,which are slow speed sections,and the nearest houses. I have included the pic of the track we run currently,thinking that if we have fun in that one, we must be in Heaven if we get this one.Sabana Seca expansion it's still on the table,but due to world economic crisis, it may even face closure,so we have to keep moving,meeting with the Caguas Mayor,seeking sponsors and so on.





Tell me what you think,and of course, edits and critiques are more than welcome.Remember ,it's not a fantasy land track with thousands of acres and endless resourses,it is a club track for racers and family, we don't need big spectator facilities,for now, nor F1 type pit lanes.Just another club track in the middle of a crowded city.

Looks pretty damn good in my opinion!

I would possibly move T8/9 bit further away and give it a bit more run off just incase but other than that I like it!

Looks good! Would it not be easier to have the pit between turn 4 and 5, with the entrance just before 4, and the exit just after 5? It would bring the pitlane closer to the track, so that's easier with signs etc. And you can create an even larger 'vegetation buffer'.

Your new design has got some beautiful corner shapes. I like it. It looks like it would be fun to drive around.

I don't know too much about club tracks, but I guess that most people watching a race would be in or around the pit area.
In case there would be some sort of trouble at the start, those involved will be thankful for anyone who is there and willing to help. In the light of the fact that you want to build this track, the rather remote location of the starting area requires a wider track or some sort of hideout for additional marshalls, who need to be there in case of an engine not firing up or worse.
So I'd like to recommend a widening of the tarmac surface in the starting area to allow for additional space.

I looks pretty obvious if not for the fact that I can't touch that area, it belongs to an RC flying planes club,we must share the place and not disturb their games with their little airplanes and we can have fun with our little motorcycles like good brothers and sistah's.

That's a good tweak I overlooked, You're totally right, I need to think WCS if someone screws the start and stalls or whatever!!!

What's the lenght of the main straights?

Around 300 something meters, it's within 20 acres, and within $300,000, trust me, you can have an orgasm in such a track,if it's well designed with flowing curves.


BTW I like your signature!
I love Yes,Rush,Dream Theater, King Crimson, Opeth, ELP,Yngwie Malmsteen,McAlpine and such...
