Choose an oval circuit in America and do something similar to Monza to it.

Edited track

Guys, by "Do a Monza", I meant have the entire oval, then run parallel to the startline, have a GP circuit which goes back under the oval and rejoins it.

I also updated mine. I did not do the overlap along the S/F straight but on the back straight because of the high banking there. There also is something of a natural exit from the track that you'll see has been built into the oval.

Results?

 

[Jimlaad43]

Nobosy has won yet. Only one track has a startline next to another piece of track, but there isn't a safe crossover for a bridge. Have a look at the full Monza circuit and try to properly do soemthing like it in America.

My idea is roughly this:

The red bits are the ground, the bit between the two green lines is let's say 7 meters above the ground, which means the corner itself is flat.

If there is a problem I can redesign though

 

[Jimlaad43]

That's a very steep bridge, which you then have on the oval itself. Ain't gonna work

The problem with American ovals is that the turns are often heavily banked, and exiting straight out like Monza does would be a very off-camber maneuver. Can we ignore the banking to make this work?

There is my new one, I've gone out of bounds, I hope it is OK http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=7040297

Here's my updated version, struggling really because like rubaru said all ovals are banked and track chiefs would never want to compromise the oval layout as that's their main source of income

We have to, otherwise it would probably destroy the suspension of the car

[Jimlaad43]

Just have a look how Monza does it. I'll allow you to come off at the back straight if necessary

https://www.gmap-pedometer.com/m/?r=7040785&rf=1 : goes the opposite way to the main oval, cuts through the current pit area when re-entering the track. Looking at it now, the sf line that is adjacent to the oval's sf line which I didn't mean to do, it should be like Monza is
