Yet another desing inspired by watching motorsports
In my mind, Le Mans should be the go-to-place for the French round of just about every major international series in existance, but now it seems like it's potential isn't used to the maximum. I mean, is there really a better place for the French round of F1?
That's why I turned the Bugatti circuit into a multi layout motorsports center that can offer layouts for all categories. I guess the most controversial change is the first part of the track, because it effects every single layout the whole facility has to offer. I have made the first right-hand sweep shallower and then flipped the Dunlop chicane around, in an attempt to encourage overtaking into turn 1 by providing a straighter braking zone. I've attached pictures of some possible layouts along with their lenghts, but there are many more possible combinations to try and meet all demand. -Pic 1: all layouts (including Circuit de la Sarthe) -Pic 2: Bugatti Short (3.39km) using a new link road after turn 1 -Pic 3: Bugatti Main (4.17km) original Bugatti circuit, longest fully permanent layout -Pic 4: Le Mans F1 (6.35km) Bugatti circuit with semi-permanent extensions in the north and south utilizing permanent sections of Circuit de la Sarthe, linked to a couple of public roads and some new permanent sections. It should be possible to build the southern extension into a completely permanent piece of track, if there is enough demand for that. |

I had a mini heart-attack when I saw that you'd changed the dunlop chicane, but I actually like the overall concept.

Flipping the Chicane make a lot of sense and allows for the pit exit to be simplified into a single solution. You have got me thinking of reviewing the short circuit... Hmm
