Track Designing Competition

[TTupsi]

Wanted something mostly gravel/dirt and through the woods.

We've got a winner! Despite perhaps being too fast for FIA (only time will tell), the layout has the best road profile and would be liked by the drivers.

Apologies for being away. I nearly always record the F1 races since I'm in the states. Especially the Asian races that end up being live in my area at 3am. So, I tend to stay away from the website until I've watched race so as not to accidentally see a spoiler! Now that I've watched it (awesome drive Danny!), I'm set to offer a new challenge.

A new location for a TT course has been decided upon. I would like to see a course using only existing roads, in the neighborhood of 30-50km. You are welcome to go from point-to-point or make a loop. The only requirements are 1) the end points must be at a location suitable for staging, like a large car park or athletic field, 2) the entire length must be suitable for passing in case a vehicle catches up to the one ahead, and 3) try to keep the average speed as high as possible while including a few tight spots in small towns or villages. Your location for this effort is: Barbados

I'll wait through the weekend, but if no one likes this I can change the location.

@k_badam takes this one.

Create a motorway track similar to this; Miseluk, make it anywhere you want and keep it under 4.5km

Perfection already exists

 

[k_badam]

Uhm, that is over 4.5km

 

[rubaru]

I've tried finding a location but I've been busy the last couple days. I might be able to put something together over my lunch break today.

Thought charging through Brummie heartland would be the most effective way to answer this question. Although I can't shorten it.

@Imola1994 wins!

@k_badam thank you.
Because the race at Baku was terrible, the FIA want to move the European Grand Prix somewhere else. Now, your task is to build a new track. Now the rules are:
1. It must be within the current EU member states.
2. It must be at least 8 km long.
3. It must have a long straight (I mean Mulsanne straight-long).
Other than those, there are no rules. You can make the track as long as you like, and as fast as you like, and it can either be a permanent track (Like Silverstone), a street or road course (Like Monaco or the Nordschleife), or a hybrid (Like Le Mans). It can be however you want, it doesn't matter if it would actually pass the FIA regulations. Have fun!
