Miami F1 proposed Layout BETA - Very quick version of the proposed layout for Maimi's F1 track

This is the Miami track that has been proposed for the 2019 season.

I made it just to see what the circuit flow was like and what the general gist of the circuit would be.

No AI
No Cameras

The environment is gathered from googles API with low quality buildings added and simple trees where trees and buildings would be, but not particularly accurate.

The road surface even has bumps from where I've poorly joined track segments, but it is driveable and demonstrates the layout.

Each street...

Thanks for doing this! I think that you do have it the wrong way though, at least, according to this autosport video.

jack shepherd updated Miami F1 proposed Layout BETA with a new update entry:

Added rudimentary AI

Added a rudimentary AI line using a gamepad. It's pretty horrible and slow, and F1 cars under AI still seem to go into the hairpin too hot and hit the wall, but I'm not sure why as it's certainly doable.

The circuit is raceable at least now, even if your opponents may crash themselves out at a high rate.

Miami resident here, I've driven these roads for 20 years. I think they should use more of the port, I've added a modified layout with curves that could possibly be used.

Here's another set of curves that could work

Again thank you for your work good sir.

A question:
Is it possible to import 3D building and scenery from Google Earth to improve the overall quality?

The 3d models are pretty lousy.

The 3d models are pretty lousy.

Some models are more accurate than others, but especially for a city track would be a good compromise and perhaps you can improve the texture quality later on. But I'm not a 3D modeler, so I say all this with no actual knowledge of the real thing.

I can download 3D models of some buildings from Google SketchUp workshop, but only some buildings, certainly can't do it all. I'll get on it next week and see what I get.

Realism wasn't my first priority, so I'll be finishing the actual circuit and quality of that first.

jack shepherd updated Miami F1 proposed Layout BETA with a new update entry:

Change direction + New pits + New AI

Thanks to those of you who showed me the autosport video detailing the layout.

They said on the video the start line was just before the chicane (where I originally had it), then said the pit area was by the arena and sea front- confusing to say the least.

I have put the start line by the arena as it made most sense to be by the pits. The start straight is now very short into a tight left hander.

The track now runs anti-clockwise as per the video.

I had to re-do the AI to run...

jack shepherd updated Miami F1 proposed Layout BETA with a new update entry:

Updated AI + Cameras + New pit lane functionality

In this update I have changed the pit lane- from the lane right by the sea front- to the lane that is by the arena. Again, I'm not sure what the FIA intend to do with the pitlane but this solution worked best in my opinion, as it allows the cars from the pits to feed in off the racing line- and it's more fun to race along the sea front section anyway despite being tight.

I have also updated the AI to be less crash prone, which seems to have worked well. The hairpin on the bridge is way too...

I would just like to post an update:
I've been working on some 3D realistic assets of Miami since my last update, but a lot has changed with the layout of the potential track. So first of all I am going to make a new track with the new layout, then hopefully they will finally confirm everything is going to stay that way and i can get to making it look pretty.

 

[slowcrash101]

It's going to be much faster, the track will also be made wider, there was no way they could make the track in one year, that's not Miami style.

Hello, i want to buy your "miami hardrock F1 circuit" .
I want to pay it with Paypal but that seems not posible....is there another way to pay (other than with a Creditcard)?

Greetings,
