Community Question | Your Favourite Type of (Sim) Circuit

[Eduardo Drew Ibarra]

A nice mix is always welcome but my absolute favorites are:

- Targa Florio
- Snaefell Mountain Course
- Pescara (I'm looking for a nice version in AC, RF2 or AMS)
- Clermont-Ferrand (Charade)
- Mellaha Lake
- Carthage
- Bremgarten
- Solitudering
- Spa-Francorchamps (60's)
- Nürburgring Gesamstrecke (the Sûdschleife is a must)
- Montjuic
- Grenslandring
- Bathurst

Not much better than 40 cars at Bristol Speedway

My favorite, Road America and Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve Montreal.

 

[ShredatorFIN]

Nearly anything but ovals. Or Monza. Monza level of boring is only rivaled by ovals.

Due to nature of how FFB wheels and tactile feedback works, I prefer tracks with some bumps here and there. Not constant rumble, but some nuances and tricky spots, where taking certain side of the road has certain consequences for grip.

In general, I like tracks with variety of different type of corners. Not too many boring long straights (Monza), not too many slow chicanes or tight turns (Monza), some altitude changes because flat (Silverstone) is boring. Recently resurfaced, laser scanned tracks may be even too smooth.

A fast section is needed too, but preferably not completely straight. So it's not just "what is the top speed" but "how fast I dare to drive here".

Kyalami
Sepang
and Portimao come to my mind

Alongside with Sebring, Long Beach, the Glen, and Belle Isle

I mean... was it ever doubt about who'll win it ? We all love Nord, don't we ? But...
I really really enjoy street circuit myself, temporary or permanent, never mind.
And that's isn't quite popular type of racing, I see now...
I've said it countless time here I guess, so what's one more, probably my fav is Portland - Vanport.
Then Long beach (love the PC2 version of it), Singapore, etc... and a few more from this game on my avatar, Toronto and Vancouver.
You'll probably find me a perv but I used to love Valencia too. I mean, really... it's mostly about persistence.
Isn't it

Love tracks like Road America, Suzuka, Bathurst and Oulton Park so i guess that are historic tracks by now?

 

[Epistolarius]

Permanent street track (Long Beach for example)
Temporary street track (Monaco for example)

I don't quite understand this. Both Monaco and Long Beach are temporary tracks on layouts covering city streets with some permanent installations for the race track. There are no permanent street tracks, otherwise they would be permanent circuits, just within the confines of a city.

 

[EduardoFxxGTO]

My favorite Modern permanent track for fast Races is SPA francorchamps, but i like all classics tracks real i love motorsport.

 

[michelforest]

If I'm racing with a historic car, I'll definitely pick a historic track. Modern tracks aren't really well suited for older cars.

 

[Isaac Chavira]

Zandvoort is my all time favorite track of anything in the world.

 

[XRRoy]

1. Nordschleife
2. Zandvoort
3. Suzuka

 

[kevintaddo10]

My favourite track is what I was hating for years, Monaco. (The controller do difference)
Then I like so much real modern circuits, as Catalunya (not particularly) or Suzuka.

 

[DesKane]

Oulton Park baby !

 

[Leonardo Chaves]

This is a tough question to narrow it down like that.
In sim racing we can have tracks in their 60/70/80s incarnations, which is great, but we also got classics that got modernized (Spa being the big example).


I do like street tracks more than most, but not Monaco.
Canada, Singapore(not on many sims but i like it), Long Beach, Detroit (also criminally underutilized) are fantastic.

 

[adsic]

1. Targa Florio
2. Fonteny
3. Deutschlandring
4. Nordschleife
5. Feldbergring
6. Bathurst
7. Cadwell Park
8. L.A. Canyons
9. Sementin
10. Peklo

 

[DEATHLESS]

First.

My favourite type of track is... BATHURST!

Mine also!

 

[Jim Layee]

For me, my favourite kind of track is long (>7-8km), a good mixture of fast / technical corners, a few long straights, lots of elevation change, blind crests, modern or historic... so, the Nordschleife then (or Fonteny, Feldbergring, Deutschlandring, Bremgarten or Imola)

Basically what you make ? lol . But those are the tracks, and similar, are what I drive more than all the modern tracks added up

Speed Challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Andy-R]

I can't vote. I love historic circuits but don't like the Nordschleife at all really.
