WOW!!! Another great track, pirenzo. Well done!

the_royksopp · 1 Dec 2003, 06:59 (Ref:799926)

Sehr schön pirenzo! Big pics is REALLY the best!

IMO, i dont think there would be much overtaking in T4...

pirenzo · 1 Dec 2003, 15:37 (Ref:800426)

yes they would!

crozier74 · 1 Dec 2003, 19:51 (Ref:800632)

I think there would be.

pirenzo · 1 Dec 2003, 20:57 (Ref:800668)

I engineered that overtaking spot precisely. That hairpin bunches the cars right up, and of course there's no room for the concertina effect between the hairpin and the preceding corners. The hairpin is just tight enough to leave the following car just the correct distance behind to pounce into T4. I don't want to the cars too close as that would mean the following car will be tucked up behind to early, giving the defendent more time to take action, and i didn't want them too far apart or a pass wouldn't even be on the cards. I've tried to do exactly the same as Sepang, which i think gets it slightly wrong, in that a following car tends to almost trip over the one in front in the middle of T3.

Hmm... That i didnt figure

...

Well, i just draw my tracks, drawing what comes up to me, corner for corner. I never think "today im gonna make a track that has got this and this corner"...

pirenzo · 2 Dec 2003, 16:35 (Ref:801619)

Well, i do and i don't.

I tend to have an idea floting around my head at the start of the day, and during school i sit there doodling numreous configurations, each slightly different, then when i get home i translate it to excel and then fiddle with it some more. But i never start out with the intention of designing a specific sort of track, with specific corner combos.

the_royksopp · 2 Dec 2003, 16:55 (Ref:801637)

Aha...

pirenzo · 2 Dec 2003, 17:44 (Ref:801686)

You guys seen the Montmélo/Barcelona article on etracks?

That mod isn't going to help a jot. Campsa needs to be tighter.

the_royksopp · 3 Dec 2003, 14:13 (Ref:802632)

?

pirenzo · 3 Dec 2003, 16:53 (Ref:802801)

www.etracksonline.co.uk

Look at the news story about the Barcelona circuit

the_royksopp · 3 Dec 2003, 18:54 (Ref:802918)

I think it will...

Actually, ive got Catalunya on topic at Safetycar.dk, and heres my edit...

http://www.bayanit.com/upload/protected/catalunya1.jpg

Used the new Caixa, used the essy-bit at Campsa, and revised New Holland.

the_royksopp · 3 Dec 2003, 18:55 (Ref:802919)

Besides, i can post some of your (all of ya) tracks on safetycar.dk, cant i?

*beg beg*

pirenzo · 3 Dec 2003, 19:10 (Ref:802932)

Sure, you can post mine

Nice Catalunya edit BTW. I thought about using the Nissan esses, i don't see why you shouldn't.

mandretti39 · 4 Dec 2003, 02:26 (Ref:803285)

You can use mine. Also, your link doesn't work, I get a "Page can't be found" error.

the_royksopp · 4 Dec 2003, 15:46 (Ref:803835)

www.safetycar.dk/Forum/index.php -> "Baner" -> "[News] Nye ændringer på Catalunya!"

But i think the place where i upload my tracks (BayanIT.com/upload) is down right now...

pirenzo · 4 Dec 2003, 16:44 (Ref:803895)

TR, your sig, you lucky B'tard! pressies on the 24th, gah, what's the world coming to?

mandretti39 · 4 Dec 2003, 17:51 (Ref:803949)

TR, your link to the forum works, I can see the pics from etracks, but your mod won't show.

pirenzo · 4 Dec 2003, 18:02 (Ref:803958)

That's presumably an image tag to the dead link:confused:

mandretti39 · 5 Dec 2003, 15:27 (Ref:804854)

I've decided to take a go a redoing Indy. I found a map that shows what exactly is on the premises, so I don't accidentally take my track thru the paddock or the golf course. I extende the run behind the paddock and created a busstop chicane along it so it doensn't break the "max length rule". Sorry for it being a little cramped, started out as a 6?? x 3?? picture. I'll post a link if ne1 wants it.

mandretti39 · 5 Dec 2003, 15:32 (Ref:804861)

Forgot the pic

Tim Northcutt · 5 Dec 2003, 15:34 (Ref:804865)

Please do post it, Mandretti39!!!!

As a native of Indy who is extremely familiar with the IMS grounds, I'd love to see your version....

BTW....Just because "Shaw Boulevard" runs between holes on the Golf Course (the road in the infield that goes under the north short chute and roughly along the backstretch) don't discount it as an option....

I have done a "Revised Indy" that uses Shaw Boulevard so that the road course can ultimately incorporate all of Tunres 2 & 3, plus the backstretch itself as well...

Tim Northcutt · 5 Dec 2003, 15:41 (Ref:804878)

Here is my revision....

Shaw Boulevard is plenty wide enough and smooth enough to race on, and installing the catch fences and walls (givent the surrounding space to that road) would be no problem at all!!!

The result is a 4.68 mi. road circuit that utilizes virtually all of the 275,000 grandstand seats in the facility...

One final note:

I'd cahnge the direction from Clockwise to Counter-Clockwise...

My seats would be in the beginning of Turn 3.....

YES!!!!

Tim Northcutt · 5 Dec 2003, 15:44 (Ref:804881)

BTW....That image that shows the stands is about 2-3 years old now...

Thee are a lot more stands that run down the backstretch from Turn 3...they added about 45,000 seats in very recent years...

pirenzo · 5 Dec 2003, 17:38 (Ref:804990)

This would be my attempt

I'll tart it up in excel later.

I found several maps and images but all were pre-F1 so no circuit. Funnily enough though, you can see why they chose the layout of the F1 track that they did from the existing roads.

I got this 1:24'000 Topo map and marked the current GP course roughly on it, and then added my ideas on top
