New Designs for Old Tracks [Roval Challenge]

[AoB Special Stage]

This challenge is to take an active asphalt oval (think 34 of NASCAR's races) and design a new and not rubbish road course using at least part of the oval. The course may use public roads near the oval, may cross over/under the oval, and may use both the outfield and infield.

Part of the SSEC Design Challenge, I thought it would be easier to part this as separate thread so its easier to keep up with.

• The circuit is recommended to have a minimum of 72 pitboxes/garages to ensure the circuit can host an SSEC event.
• The circuit is recommended to be long enough that the average gap between 72 cars is .1 sec. (long circuits are expected)
• The circuit must have adequate safety measures in place to allow a prototype to safely dissipate energy in the event of a wreck.
• Areas where stability may become lowered or where high g-loads are present should have run-off or gravel traps, depending on the speed and nature of the section.

Street circuits are permissible, but two prototypes must be able to run parallel for at least 90% of the track's length and no section longer than 1/2 mile may be narrower than such. We eagerly await your designers.

OK a "Roval an Oval" challenge, there hasn't been one of those for a while.

[AoB Special Stage]

Already working on Las Vegas. It will be quite, different.

Radicalizing the existing layout, clever.

Full 3.11mi | Short 2.19mi | Track width 13m | All anti-clockwise

Oval 2.50mi | Track Width 19m

I saw that earlier. Just a note, I wouldn't touch the north road course section, it predates even the triangle-oval itself.

This is about is convoluted as you can get. You're welcome.

Once again less is more. There is too much too close together in the infield

not when you're trying to be convoluted.

Think 2 challenges on one thread was crazy, try three. This one being to form a road course for the attached track map. 2.5 miles, banking in the realm of 30 degrees.

and yes, I stole Wikipedia's map of Daytona. I didn't like Jacksonville's track map. It's an eyesore.
