Let's Talk Lone Star GP Track Layout

Here is a quick sketch for you. I am not as much concerned with the overall track, but this is the general layout that it looks like the facilities can handle very well.

The yellow lot is huge, and would be used for parking. The green lot would contain all of the competitor paddocks (its at least as big as six football fields). The red line could be the pit lane (though it may not need to be that long), and of course the blue line is the track.

You can see in the picture the already existing walk-over bridges (one to the north and one to the south of the stadium). These span Kirby Drive which is a six lane median divided road which should be able to accomodate both a front straight and a pit lane.

Of most importance is the entrance and exit to and from the parking lot property. the two I have selected are auxilliary entrance/exit gates that do not have any constructed parking ticketing booths. These will be the easiest to utilize. Now the rest of the track does not matter, just note that the old Astro Hall (the somewhat triangular building just south of the Astrodome no longer exists, it is just open parking lot, and is why my track goes through there). The light blue line presents an alturnative of taking the track between the stadium and the dome (which the developers had talked of early on, and may still be in the plans)

Oh, the purple line is the light rail. So with the addition of just one temporary walk-over bridge from the east side of the parking lot to the "infield" of the course, you could have one hell of a set-up. with parking available on the paddock/pit lane side of the course as well as on the light rail side of the course, lots of access, room for vendors, RV parking, etc.

What do you think?

Oh, and I'm sure we would have to have a chicane in the long straight.
