The currently planned Formula E race in New York City takes place in a far-away boring location in an industrial location. Let's make it more interesting by relocating it to the heart of the New York business district.

Your task:
ePrix on Southern Manhattan Island, New York, which means anywhere below Houston Street.
For safety reasons, and to keep weekend traffic moving, stay clear of West Street and FDR Drive.
Length = 2.0-3.0km

Sf streight on state street( I'm not sure in any sense how a formula e race in New York is practical but it would be amazing to see nonetheless)

@Nelson Ullinskey you win this one.

Everyone seems to hate the Hungaroring. Redesign it however you deem fit, within 7 kilometers and uses the same start / finish straight.

Don't think it's a bad track myself, racing is pretty good despite the lack of overtaking opportunities. I went a bit more dramatic therefore( bar the extension of the main streight that the circuit longs for but with the keeping of the final corner as it is easy to follow a driver through) https://www.gmap-pedometer.com/m/?r=7080287&rf=1

I actually like Hungaroring except for the pointless chicane on the back 9. I think Jimmy would agree with me that chicanes should be left for controlling speed, whereas this one is placed well before you can get even close to high speed. So, I've straightened that part out while reconfiguring the esses section to have a better flow. Also, the bit between T1 and 2 has never been useful for a DRS zone, so I'm moving it the the end of the lap with the new section through the woods. T2 is earlier and tighter allowing the run up the hill to T4 to be straighter but steeper.

@Jimlaad43 wins! For the record, I quite like the Hungaroring, I only issued this challenge since it seems most fans of F1 look at the track unfavorably.
