My Tracks

[Chaynes321]

well i use Word, not Excel because you don't get the lines in the backround. Do you guys take a print screen then paste the circuit into paint

[the_royksopp]

i use Paint, it is enough, but the Excel ones look nicer...

[the_royksopp]

assuming clockwise...

[Magical Trevor]

No, that track is counter-clockwise (look at the run-off)

[the_royksopp]

Assuming counterclockwise...

GREAT track though!

[the_royksopp]

Right, okay

[Magical Trevor]

I threw in a Superspeedway and some other shortcuts...

In Excel just have a blank rectangle as a background, or fill all the cells white, or make all the borders white, or go to tools>options and turn off the gridlines. Either way works
And yeah, the only decent way I've found to get it out of Excel is a screen dump.

Ok, my first post here and it involves a track.. It's a modification of an existing track - Savannah raceway in Savannah, GA.

Comments? Criticism?.. Wait, just comments. Just Kidding

[wildride]

OK, my second track... Not bad... Situated in Southern Denmark - Svinhardt Raceway...

Feel free to modify!

[Magical Trevor]

Hi wildride! Let me be the first to welcome you to 10/Tenths! Also let me be the first to tweak one of your tracks...
It was pretty good, I just changed three things (including the pitlane)

[Hamann]

A new track, it seems as a good one to me becuase it has corners of all speeds and lots of straights too.

Whadaya think?

[DNQ]

Oh yes, I quite like that actually.

[Knowlesy]

That is very much like an old style track.

WHICH IS A BRILLIANT THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Svinhardt Raceway

Lol... Cant resist, but "Svin" actually is a pig... But anyway, wlcome...

[the_royksopp]

Hamann: FAAAAANTAAAAASTIIIIIC!!!!! I simply cant find any way to edit that track!

@ Pigtough (LOL, no offence, me making an artificial english name would prolly sound like cr@p too).

[the_royksopp]

And @ the changes to p´s, RG, gr8!

[the_royksopp]

A new royksoppian creation... Whatcha think?

[Hamann]

Wow, I had no idea you guys were going to like it that much. I'mm try to draw a bigger scale of it and have it scanned at work.

[Chaynes321]

Great track Hamann, made a load of changes but is still based on the orginal layout...

I moved the whole paddock area to create a more productive first complex.

I lossened the exit of turn 6

I modified the approach and shape of the chicane

Turned 9 into an approach flat out bend,
like at the Nurbergring before the chicane)

Hope you like it...

[Lee Janotta]

Very good track, Hamann. It reminds me a lot of Sebring.

I'm in awe of your drafting skills.

[Fish_Flake]

I've got plenty of pencil-and-compass sketches lying around. Most of the layouts I've done began with me drawing random lines with a ruler and then connecting them together with either a compass or freehand using my index finger to mark the radius. Maybe I'll finally replace the light in my old scanner and post a few of them.

Not bad.. but Hammans track was better.

I was watching NASCAR qualifying this afternoon, and I decided to make some modifications to the Watkins Glen International circuit. Watkins Glen is still to most the spiritual home of American road racing, and the racing surface is top-notch. The infamous blue Armco is dangerously close to the asphalt, though, and that presents safety hazards to open-wheel cars and sports car prototypes that keep all but GT and Touring Cars to race there. I am doing nothing to the track itself, but rather pushing back the Armco to add more run-off in most of the corners.

The first problem comes on the old pit straight after the 90. There is a huge gravel trap outside the first turn, but the barrier on the outside of the track juts in sharply past the run-off, and nearly reaches the track. The barrier is there to protect the access road that crosses the circuit at this point. I would push back the Armco away from the track surface to where it would pose less of a danger.

Next are the Esses. The Armco here stands on the exact edge of the track on both sides. Any accident that would occur here in a Formula 1 or champ car would be chaotic considering the high speeds they would take through this section, which is comparable to driving the Craner Curves at Donington backwards. The best thing to do is to push the outside barrier back just past the three grandstand structures that overlook the entry to Turn 2. Then, push back the inner barrier that is on the outside to Turn 3. The exit of Turn 3 is still very hairy due to the tunnel that goes under the track here, but it should not pose much of a problem. Push back the Armco outside Turn 4 just a little, and that's that for the opening of the lap. More to come later...
