You used the bridge???

You used the bridge???

And? There's no crossover, that was the only requirement. It was never said that this part of the track can't be used. Bridge is gone, so they piled up some earth to get this part flat

soooo ... for this one we can put track anywhere?

 

[Nelson Ullinskey]

First time trying this and I must say I had a fun time remaking Suzuka!

Here's mine; http://www.gmap-pedometer.com?r=6217096

I tried my best to preserve the old while at the same time invented new overtaking opportunities.

Edit: Whoops! Almost forgot about the pit- it is the same as the old one.

Also, I have withdrawn this entry

 

[Vaughn Stegeman]

Some nice submissions thus far.
By the way, @Jimlaad43 .. when's the deadline for this one?

 

[Nelson Ullinskey]

Are we allowed to withdraw our old entries and replace them with new ones? If so, I was unhappy with the last sector of my last one so I re-did it.

My new entry (if allowed); http://www.gmap-pedometer.com?r=6217208

Edit: Withdrawn- I thought of some other changes

 

[Vaughn Stegeman]

Well, here's what I've come up with. It's pretty hellacious. .. Pit lane is as per normal.

I hope that's the right link.

I'm not sure when the deadline is supposed to be @FerrariMan96

 

[FerrariMan96]

@Jimlaad43 Your choice, but it should be approximately 1 week or a bit over. I think that's a good length, gives people plenty of time to see the thread, read the challenge, think about it, design the track at their own leisure, etc. without being too long.

Do I have to judge it too, and can I enter one I started?

No, I do not think you can enter one for this. Look at it like this: The person who starts it must decide the winner and the winner starts the next one. In that system, if the starter can enter, then they could select their own and we would be stuck in a never ending cycle.

And just so we are clear, I do not think you would do anything bad like that. I am just saying it could happen. Also, why not make one? Not as an entrant, but for the fun of it. I always like to see other people's designs.

 

[FerrariMan96]

@Jimlaad43 as Nelson said, the winner of one competition runs the next one. So you set a deadline, and you decide the winner. You can make your own if you want, but can't select yourself as the winner. Maybe you could say "this is what I would've done" when you make your post announcing the winner.

In a nut shell:

1. You set the challenge so you set the deadline
2. You choose the winner soon after that deadline, and then they do the next challenge.

P.S. I'll be posting my entry shortly.

ill post mine today or tomorrow

Here's mine: www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6219287

I've designed it to - as many have - try and keep the classic feel of Suzuka.

I decided to keep the first sector almost exactly the same, only making the first 2 corners of the Esses ever so slightly faster. I then replaced the Degner curves with a hairpin for overtaking, followed by the new Degner curves (designed to be more or less the same as the old ones, just in a different spot). This leads to a not-straight, with fast, flat out, flowing curves, followed by a new Spoon corner. This leads to a long straight, with a moved and reprofiled 130R at the end, followed by the newly repositioned final chicane, which has been pushed back as much as possible to promote overtaking. Also, the pit lane remains the same.

Sweet, that gives me a bit more time. I thought of some other changes I would like to make.
Here is my FINAL Entry: milermeter.com

 

[Jimlaad43]

@kedy89 wins with this entry.
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6216533

No one did what would have almost certainly claimed a win for them and made turn 1 tighter, so it actually becomes an overtaking opportunity, so
