GT VIRUS should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Marion International

I designed this track with a goal. Start with a track for Formula Vee, then extend for Formula Ford, then again for F3, and then finally once more for F1. The track ended up being a track of 2 parts. The left half is very clinical and is full of 90 and 180 degree corners. However the right side is more flowing and much nicer. Soo the right side combinations become great drivers courses.

I envisioned the main pits being the ones on the left, but the ones on the right work equally as well, i just left less room there for the paddock.

There are 4 variations using the main pits, formula vee, formula ford, formula 3 and formula 1. From the other pit lane, there are 2 layouts, the North and South layouts. The combination of the north and south could also be used if another pitlane was built.

In terms of scale, both pitlanes measure 300m of service area (aka the straight bit of them).

All Layouts go clockwise except for the North and Combined layouts.

Track Lenths are:

FV: 1.8km
FF: 2.6km
F3: 4.1km
F1: 4.8km
North: 2.4km
South: 2.3km
Combined: 3.1km

** i forgot a couple of little corners that make the North, South and Combined circuits work properly. Just pretend they are there

For me there is several really nice sequences of corners, though to be honest without the

I don't see the whole thing interconnect the way in which you obviously envisage. To tell the truth I can't see the individual circuits that you mention working at all given the pitlane locations and directions.

I've highlighted the corner sequence that jumps out at me and in the second image I've modified it slightly. The first is to move the pitlane across the track, the second is to move one of the "split" sections slightly further around the corner to have it line up as an entry to the upper hairpin.
In terms of scale this "new circuit" would be a 2-2.25 mile (3.2-3.6km) circuit run clockwise
