Hunter Park

Yes, Hunter Park. Is another of my multi-layout circuits. This time anti-clockwise Club and GP circuits, and a Shortcut off the GP loop back to the S/F straight forming a Clockwise club circuit.

The layouts are fairly obvious so no time-consuming diagrams of each version. Here though is the Ups and downs around the circuit.

The S/F is fairly level as is the entry into the left handed T1, but this quickly changes into an up hill through the right handed turns 2 and 3.
A short straight follows of which there is a left handed loops which rejoins the final sections to form the anti-clockwise club circuit. Turns 4 and 5 are a double right handed combination which was squared up in recent years to promote overtaking (with limited success).
The exit of Turn 5 leads into the downhill open left hander of T6, which is really an acceleration zone rather than a corner.
The exit of T6 leads to a split in the circuit, the clockwise Club circuit takes a right flick before its slightly up hill final looping corner back onto the level S/F, where as the GP circuit levels off as it enters a long flowing sequence of corners around the lake.
T7 is a very long sweeper that has a helping albeit slight camber, it tightens on exit onto a short straight.
At the end of the straight is the start of an esses sequence consisting of the sweeping Left of T8, the right of T9, and T10 which straightens things back out. The ground begins to climb through T9 as the track moves away from the lake.
The short Straight from T10 to T11 crests at the highest point on the circuit, making T11 a very difficult slightly off camber down hill sweeper.
From T11 the circuit continues a gradual downhill along the 800m straight, that has actually a slight un-numbered kink to the left, before reaching The angular esses of T12 and 13.
Coming at the end of a long straight T12 is a bit Tilke-esq though with it’s still slight downhill entry makes picking your braking point essential, the ground levels off through T13 and on through the open Left of T14.
The final corner T15 comes at the end of a short straight and has positive camber, offering the brave a final chance to overtake. The camber levels out quickly as the Clock-wise club circuit rejoins the S/F straight.

Looks nice. I'd have the southern part of the track operate as an independent track as well. You could move the pits to the other side of the main straight and have a club-sized pit lane on the other kinked straight as well. That way you could host two events at the same time. To lengthen the club straight, you could considerd adding a little chicane-like wobble at the end and have it meet the Curva Grande halfway.

Both anticlockwise variations are very enjoyable. I especially like the loop that links the section after Turn 3 to the backstraight, the long fast and tightening curve around the lake, Turn 7, and the final corner. In fact, the whole lake area, including the Esses, is beautiful. Let's go there and feed the ducks after the race
Turn 12 should work well as an overtaking opportunity, even though you call it Tilkeish. I think it's in just the right place on the track.
Hunter Park is amongst your best tracks.
