Rainbow Park
Rainbow Park
The clockwise Rainbow Park circuit offers 4 variations, They are: The short 12 turn “YELLOW” circuit which measures 2.8 miles (4.48km), The 15 turn “RED” extension of the short circuit at 3.3 miles (5.28km) The 17 turn “BLUE” extension of the short circuit at 3.5 miles (5.6km) The 20 turn GP circuit at 4miles (6.4km) uses both extensions. There were proposals to link the two extensions to form a perimeter circuit though there were never acted upon. The setting is rolling countryside with gradual climbs and slopes. Comments and edits welcome as always. |

Both the Grand Prix Circuit and the Yellow one look like they would work well. That is different for the Red one, which turns to yellow at a chicane in the middle of a straight, and the Blue one, which I feel misses out on something by bypassing the red section.
In general, the only real criticism that I must mention is the final two corners, including the hairpin: if the straight leading up to the hairpin were longer, the section would also work well, but in the way it is now, the final section appears a little Mickey-Mousey, which is quite a contrast to the rest of the track. Despite that, I like that facility. |

Wow! That is a great track, however, next time, could you try and show all the layouts separately? It would make it a lot easier. Great track again, SBF.

OK here's the layouts as asked for by formula1fan. .... It might be a lot easier for you to follow, but its more work for me doing it
 Yannick, had I more time when I posted the circuit, I would have explained that while the overall layout is rolling countryside, the long right hander (3rd last corner) was positively cambered to allow cars to follow each other closely, enabling a "pull out and overtake on the brakes" into the hairpin. In my original plan I actually had the hairpin section at an angle to the mainstraight (the 3rd last corner wouldn't have been as long), but on drawing the circuit out, I didn't want to comprimise the scale of the rest of the circuit. |

I like all of the different variations. They flow quite well and are fast.
