Bramhill Park

I made a smaller track this time, no 17km monster here. The track is located in the midlands and should be about 2.5km long. Comments and edits are both welcome!

My first though on seeing this was Mallory Park, which of course happens to be in the Midlands.http://www.etracksonline.co.uk/Europ...loryparkc.html

Not the same, but the similarities are striking.

I think the track would also work really well in the other direction too.
Very nice, as has been said, short and sweet, works a treat!

Indeed they are! Actually I haven't seen that particular track before. I did however think back on the best touring car passing moments I could think of and try to recreate something of what the corners looked like, atleast one or two of them.

I'd say it looks better than Mallory Park. In combination with some challenging elevation changes, this track could be terrific, well, for touring cars that is.

I'm not trying to offend you , but this track , in my opinion , is quite pointless.

Really? We can't just have large F1-complexes all the time; the national touring cars have to have their home too

I think the track will be better with more corners.

It's only 2.5km (1.55-miles), so having just 5 preoper turns and four noticeable bends is fine. If you had many more, it would be painfully tight, like a street circuit.

I'm guessing the front stretch is about 0.6 of a mile, which gives even the low downforce guys at least one good flat-out run per lap.

Kivi, before you bad-mouth short road courses, try to catch some race coverage from Lime Rock Park. That track is only 1.53-miles (1.54 with the chicane), but the sportscars put on a great show there.

Simplicity is sometimes better than a cornerfest, like in this case, IMO.

Here's a treat; this is some onboard footage from Lime Rock.
