This one you didn't see it coming!

ECW Dan Selby · 14 Mar 2011, 09:22 (Ref:2845346)

I take it this is CCW judging by the run-offs?

If so, it's looking nice. I'd personally make one or two tweaks:

*First off, I think T1 is great, as well as T2/3. I think drivers could have a really good dice through there.
*The kinks down the mid-section of the track could come slightly earlier to potentially open up an overtaking op on T15 (?)
*Similar concept goes for the chicane after T15 down the straight. Perhaps have it slightly earlier, potentially opening up the final hairpin as a little more of an overtaking op

Here's my edit

I really like it mate, just the two things i'd change is the kink/chicane positioning. It's a pretty crude edit but there you go!

That's pretty good Selby, I totally see your points and they're valid. My original idea about the kink was to reduce approaching speed to the middle section, but there's enough room to safely approach that section anyway.Thanks for getting involved.

Another one of my "Spaniard" tracks, nothing special, just hope it works and provides good racing,and the best safety possible. this one is

2.79 miles
12 mt wide
CCW

LuiggiSpeed · 26 Mar 2011, 03:14 (Ref:2853332)

I'm hurrying up a little bit for my 4-a-month commitment

though it's basically the same framework...

Here's a couple of different attempts at the same land.All the versions are using a certain design that don't need bridges to access the paddock, yet the pit exit and entering are in the correct side, that's a must on my designs.

Here's take 3...

2.99 Miles
CCW
The rest you can see.based on the "horseshoe" design.

LuiggiSpeed · 26 Mar 2011, 03:16 (Ref:2853333)

Fourth attempt.Same parameters.
Yes I know it's heavily influenced by Cataluna, many of the new tracks are, like Portimao and Istambul for example and they're regarded as top flight tracks for all motor sports.

2.45 Miles
CCW
Based on the "S" design.

Is it just me or is it very reminiscent of Infineon?

The "Spaniard" track is very Jarama, but in a good way.

I like the "4th attempt" track the best of your recent bunch. The only things I'd change is reshaping the right hander Turn 11 at the end of the kinked backstraight into a hairpin, whilst replacing the penultimate corner with a curve of bigger radius.

Those wiggly Esses of your "Take 3" track are beautiful. Yet they feel out of place in such a geometric facility. I wonder if it were also possible to create a wiggly facility with a select few geometrical bits.

Incredible ah!
I have the same idea of mixing up wiggly sections and geometric sections but I have yet to produce a good wiggly section comparable of the ones I've seen around here from many posters.

As of 4th attempt, I am not happy with the ultra tight hairpin just before last turn, I want larger radiused right handers to compensate for tire wear on bikes

therefore I find you suggestion non-optimal in my criteria but I'd like to apply that in the last couple of corners where I don't like the ultra tight radiused pin head.

Take 2 is my favourite by a long way...
The others are all good in a general way, with nice options and good execution but if I was looking for something that would grab me its no. 2....

No. 3 is the next best ...just an opinion.

I got mixed up wit numbers

which one is "take 2" the Jarama sister or "Infineon"

BTW I did take the edit comments and though not exactly I did some tweaks on my "Catalunya/Magny Cours" track, just looking for more radius and less start/stop , this one is starting to grow up as my personal favorite, for whatever reason.

ECW Dan Selby · 31 Mar 2011, 11:56 (Ref:2856324)

What can I say? It's brilliant. I don't think i'd change anything mate.

The backstraight really reminds me of Assen before it got chopped up! T9 looks an absolute blast.

The take 2 was the 2.79 mile track, the take 3 the 2.99 mile one.

Looking again at the 2.45 mile one its also good, but my initial response was that I liked the 2.79 mile one the most, despite it appearing like a series of loops. I think it would provide close exciting racing.

Ohh thanks!!
I thought no one would like that one because of "too geometric" but that was my first try and was intended as a nice boxing ring where you can show your skills in a variety of challenges. Thats what I like of scientific tracks, they're designed for racing, nothing left by chance, though I reckon most people around here like organic, natural tracks.

LuiggiSpeed · 4 Apr 2011, 02:45 (Ref:2858345)

Helo April...let's see if I can keep up with the 4-a moth commitment...

This one is a simple variation of the "S" design,2.25 miles, 13 turn track, CCW, 13 turns, 8 lefts 5 rights, 810 mt main straight , it has most of my signature features, it may look like any other of my tracks because...um...it's one of my tracks

I'm looking for speed in this one, no complicated loops, not too treacherous , not too simple either, I managed a fair balance of r-l turns, I have my high speed directional changes, Thy Holy Hairpin, increasing radius, DA's, multi A's and whatnot. I think it would be fun to ride, I designed it from inside the cockpit of a bike, thinking of what would I like to face in a track, without having to put an I.V. after each session....

Exactly what I like. Not too long, interesting corners, and a basic unfussy layout that allows drivers to swing from corner to corner in a flowing manner.
I think this is the best of everything you have done this year!

ECW Dan Selby · 7 Apr 2011, 07:57 (Ref:2860026)

I like it.

I think it's definitely more of a motorcycle track than a car track at first glance.

I think for something like the F1's or single seaters for that matter, just bypassing 7-8 by adding a straightaway down to 9 could work quite well as an overtaking op.

It would kind of turn in to quite a small, old-skool style GP track.

I like!

I think T3 could be really interesting on the opening lap after T2.

Yeah!! thanks

I'm not too much of a fan of T1 being an overtaking spot, I like to see a couple of flowing corners before any real overtaking spot, to prevent T1 pileups as much as possible.

Yannick · 15 Apr 2011, 07:16 (Ref:2863588)

4a: I like the shape of it. Yet, I'd like to suggest scaling it up and changing it into an airfield circuit by placing the longest straight on the runway and moving the pits onto the 2nd longest straight (the one on the right). For that configuration, I'd also like to suggest changing direction to anticlockwise. I'm kind of curious what kind of a shortcut you can come up with for a National Circuit for touring cars on a track like that.

LuiggiSpeed · 23 Jun 2011, 01:58 (Ref:2904548)

Just made one attempt at drawing something on a piece of land, this would be a simple track, CCW, 2.33 miles 13 turns circuit intended for regional affairs.I tried to put a little bit of everything needed, tricky T1, increasing rad T2, fast T3, a wide open chicane as T4-5 some big esses as T7-8 a stop-and-go T8 a mongo fast right hander T9, a tricky DA as T10-T11 ,a hard braking T12 opening up to a Increasing rad last corner. That be a lap.

Yannick · 25 Jun 2011, 18:21 (Ref:2905891)

This one's shape reminds me slightly of the Buenos Aires track. Thus, it's got a very South American vibe to it. Considering it's designed by you, am I guessing right that it's somewhere in the Southern hemisphere?

Just PR, right in front of the largest mall

Hi guys, been some time since I've been inactive, I'll just throw a couple of sketches I did for a friend. I was trying to fit a club circuit into a certain space, managed to lay out 2.8Km and it's already kind of tight, though precautions have been taken to make it as safe as possible, the two parallel straights (ugh!) are 12 M apart and the corner just before it (T5) is an decreasing radius coming from a "slow" section, so I don't foresee any problems with 12 meters of gravel, the other corner, T6 , there's some 50 meters of space till the next section, I would put a barrier after 35 meters of gravel,coming from just 392 m of straight into a decreasing radius turn, that should suffice. The rest pretty much you can see.This would not be a graphic showcase, just a circuit idea.

EDIT: Before anyone jumps out of their seats..the drag direction is going to be reversed!! Nobody wants to race over the byte!

Comment please.

**ScotsBrutesFan** · 1 Aug 2011, 11:01 (Ref:2934418)

Is any of the land beyond the drag strip available... just a thought that you could open it up a bit for not much more distance by having the short straight on the drag strip with the main straight and pit a little further away. The main straight of the circuit could also work as the return road for the drag strip, and be an access point to the drag's pit area at the same time.
