Indonesian Grand Prix

Yes, I know street circuits have been done to death lately, but we all know I love to design them. This isn't one of those "American-style" steet circuits with short, narrow straights, 90 degree corners and no passing, this will promote passing.
The track is located in Jakarta, Indonesia. It is 3.3 miles long, and runs counterclockwise. The track starts off in the square that surrounds Monumen Nasional (National Monument), which has very wide roads, probably the widest ever for a race track. The track leads into a very wide left turn, shortly followed by a right turn, which is also where the track narrows. Down the road, there is a long sweeping right turn that takes you onto the third longest straight. At the end of the straight is a roundabout, when finished, you are heading back the way you came down the longest straight. These two straight will promote slip streaming and possibly passing at the ends of the straights. At the end of the longest straight is also the slowest corner of the track, a tight hairpin to the left. At the end of the straight (the second longest one on the track ) following the hairpin, there is a long, wide, fast chicane where any driver with balls (sorry for the language) could pull off a pass. At the end of the next straight is a hairpin which leads you back into the square, where one final quick right leads you to the finish line. There are threem, possibly four overtaking spots: the roundabout, the two hairpins, and the chicane.

I figure the pits could be located on the other half of the square which isn't being used for the track.

Given the current flooding in Jakarta, the circuit might be better suited to F1 power boats

I agree with SBF on that one. It's a great track (for powerboats at this present moment in time!!!lol).

For an inner city street track, it's quite nice actually.

But as a whole, it seems rather Tilke-ish, incorporating his principle of long straights with tight and slow corners at both ends, plus his principle of having a hairpin and some sweeping Esses in a track - both being techniques he used in his Bahrain circuit and his Cape Town proposal http://www.etracksonline.co.uk/Afric.../capetown.html
Caution: that link leads to an ugly looking blot shape.

Nice track, but IMO F1 should not go to countries with little or no F1 history with nothing to offer the sport.

Maybe for Formula Asia or whichever it would be able to attract a date - and the flooding issue ...

One Bernard Charles Ecclestone certainly feels differently.
