Results are in(close run, all circuits were improved from the originals)
@Jimlaad43 : I liked the incoperation of the old circuit and I feel that the section would be challenging in a modern f1 car. However although I am not a fan of the 2003 version of this circuit, the rauch/würth corners are my favourite on the 2003 course and I feel that the tightening of the hairpin would have been more appropriate on the schlossgold turn, instead of trying to create another overtaking spot at Rauch.
@rubaru I agree with the removal of the double chicane, I do not have much expiriance with this circuit but after looking the lap up the corner looks ugly to drive. But I do feel like their is an overabundance of unessery hairpins/medium speed corners(T4/5 for example)on your circuit, I would have liked to see a few more high speed corners, the variety was mainly good though.
@k_badam : some changes I really liked, some I didn't. I have always thought of turkey as an overrated circuit(no turkey fanboys plz
) due to honestly a lack of variety in the circuit, don't get me wrong it's still good(T8 in my top 5 corners ever) but I think some tikeadromes did it better. The changes you made did increase variety, the changes in the first turn was one I was looking for, eaither making the first part slower(like u did) or making the first part quicker. I'm not sure what u mean about making t3 quicker as how you changed it seems to make it more lower medium speed like t4- I would have preferred if that had stayed the same or at least change 4/5 as well. The chicane was a good touch yet I kinda feel the last corners would feel a tiny bit awkward to driver, ik what u were doing with the pit but I still feel so
@Manolis Sigoulakis : the changing of the pit lane was a great idea as this would allow overtaking opportunities into the new first main turn. The hairpin would also allow overtaking openertunities on the main streight. I would have liked a slightly more dramatic change in t1 and I didn't lien the new hairpin t7- still a good attempt.
@The_Laskinator : Korea was a circuit I had mixed feelings about so if a couple of changes were made it would become a good circuit. I like the movement of the start line, I agree it would create an interesting run into the chicane that follows. I would have preffered to keep the high speed right as i thought that was one of the best corners on the old circuit, and instead get rid of one of the bends in the next section. The almost Russia like turn on the old long streight was a genius idea, adding variety to the circuit , but I feel the next chicane could have been missed so drivers could possibly overtake into the last turn. I would say your track is my second fav.
And that just leaves
@kedy89 : while this track was not perfect it made me want to race it so I knew I found a winner. The changing of turn 1 gave me mixed emotions as it did change the approach to the next corners and would ease overtaking on the main streight but i did like the old t1 as well. The high speed corners following are amazing, it would be a great test, overtaking maybe possible into the old t6. As I mentioned before the keeping of t7/8 was a great idea, this is one of the reasons why I picked your track. The long kinda hairpin that follows is long and seems to tighten, which would be interesting to tackle. The left right corners of 11/12 are great in the way that they set up for what I would call the Malaysian corner of 13/14/15- 15 as I can notice that 14, seems to tighten, creating more variety One small complaint I have is that the last corner could have possibly been a tighter corner to set up overtaking or a faster one to almost connect to the main streight making it longer. Well done everyone, after you took the time to justify your circuits I have spent the last half an hour judging your excellent courses
