Track Designing Competition

[rubaru]

You're going to have to give us a bigger bit of land, those fields can barely fit a 5km track in, let alone 7km plus space for facilities.

This is about the only thing possible, and it is all slow bad corners and no straights, so the racing there would be terrible for F1.

Wow you're right. It's the same size of land as Hungaroring, so I thought it would work. Forgot to notice Hungaroring is only 4.2km. Here is a new bit of land:

200m too long. I'll try again later.

Alright @Jimlaad43 your turn. I'm sorry it was kind of a crappy challenge.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Take a circuit that used to be on the F1 calendar, swap the direction and redesign that circuit.

Alright @Jimlaad43 your turn. I'm sorry it was kind of a crappy challenge.

Are you guys disagreeing with my choice of winner? Or that I thought it was a crappy challenge? Because I don't need the "disagree" to bring down my ratings.

Probably they're saying it wasn't a crappy challenge. I didn't think it was, especially once you changed the area.

The one and only Grand Prix circuit I've ever been to, although not while a race was being held, was the old 1984 US GP in Fair Park, Dallas. The original circuit was anti-clockwise and quite tight through some of the buildings in the park.

I've updated the layout by pushing the S/F line out to Fitzhugh Ave. Most of it is pretty similar to the original, but I've taken out a couple of the chicanes to increase the speed in some places. It still goes around the stadium, cattle barns, and the old railyard. In all, the length increased about 0.5km

Reversed Mosport. Attempted to keep its quick style while also expanding it. Wanted to keep the safety standards up so I implemented some Melbourne style fast chicanes.

Instanbul was originally meant to go clockwise rather than anti-clockwise, shame I couldn’t reverse the artificially implemented gradient and camber to emulate why Istanbul Park worked as both a race and drivers circuit. Thus I had to be more creative when redesigning the circuit.

I've redesigned Valencia Street Circuit

 

[R1Joel]

Adelaide reversed with a few extensions into parkland and new streets.

Edit: Will have to redo tomorrow.

 

[R1Joel]

Alright, did it properly this time. Adelaide, reversed with a few new streets and an extension into some parkland.

I've redesigned Valencia Street Circuit

Did they demolish the bridge on the east end???

 

[Jimlaad43]

It's a swing bridge. It always split in two and spun around onto land, to stop the port being blocked. They pretty much only closed it on Grand Prix weekends and welded the gaps shut. You can see the bridge still there though, just on either side of the channel.

 

[Jimlaad43]

I'm going to give it to @R1Joel!

 

[R1Joel]

Wow, thanks @Jimlaad43 Much appreciated.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Wow, thanks @Jimlaad43 Much appreciated.

As the round winner, you now get to set a challenge and judge our entries.

 

[R1Joel]

I'm awful at these things. But how about this:

As Bathurst is on next week, redesign the bottom half of Mt Panorama, Bathurst, while retaining the top section of track, from the end of Mountain straight to the start of Conrod straight. You can go through any existing buildings or property, but not touch any of the existing pit buildings.

Rough outline of the area to change. You don't need to stay inside the blue line.
