At a guesstimate the track is about four miles in length, which may be a bit long. If you reduce your scale by a factor of about three-quarters it might work better. Isn't a 1km straight a bit long anyway?

Yeah, it probably is a bit long.
Shanghai, Sepang and Bahrain all have 1km+ straights. I think Shanghai's is the longest, 1.175km or something. |

Shanghai's is about 1.2km. The maximum allowed, according to FIA Appendix O, is 2km.
One of my old sesigns, which hopefully I'll figure out how to put into the computer, has a mile long front straightaway (1.6km), and a back stretch (it curves quite a bit) of around 2.5 miles (4km), which I've estimated gives the course a total length of 9.5miles (15.288km). I love the classic road courses (Nordschleife, Spa-Francorchamps, Bathurst), so a four mile lap with a 1km straight isn't that massive in comparison. I guess it's all relative to what you're accustomed to. |

Well, possibly. It is quite an effort though for someone elses track.
Try it yourself And FWIW, I like the second one, its just a bit more varied, the infield section is a bit more taxing |
