Rallycross Track Design
Hey everyone,
i race rallycross and really like just designing tracks whenever i bored. I was wondering if anyones got any ideas for rallycross tracks or different ideas of existing tracks like lydden, croft, blyton, pembrey..... with maybe adding in a joker lap like they do in europe. |

Perhaps for those of us not familiar with rallycross you could give us a rough specification things like....
Overall Length of a lap What percentage tarmac to gravel Max length of straights on either surface. Track width if it varies between the two surfaces Oh and an explanation of what a joker lap and what it should consist of might be useful too. Also what else would need to be included? |

Design it to ERC spec with the separate grid and the minimum surface percentages.

Ah found them under the FIA...
Quote:
Is the joker lap simply an extra loop that perhaps leaves at T2 and rejoins at T4 making the overall lap 2 seconds longer? Or is it a completely separate longer lap of track? Is the starting grid area only to be used for that purpose or is it part of the lap? I think I've seen both? A separate finish line? |

Yeah you've pretty much got the main jist of it, track length varies from 1 to 2 mile maybe max (quite short tracks) I will try and find some pics of rallycross tracks on google earth to give you some ideas. Theres about 50%50 loose to tarmac, maybe more tarmac on average at some tracks. The grid is placed further back from the actually track so they can have time between races as short as possible. Any other questions and just ask.

A very quick doodle
The Standing Start lap is 1688m (just on 1 mile) The Flying lap is 1558m Anticlockwise and I've shown the exit back to the paddock after T2 and the access to the grid from the paddock bottom left |

i think it is better when there are a couple of loose sections rather then one big one, so that cars can get up to speed on the tarmac before hitting the loose
