Its 2.4mi International and 1.5mi National layouts host touring cars, GTs and single seaters with its 0.9mi Club circuit hosting everything else. A 750m clockwise Kart track is paired with the Club paddock to give young talent a chance to shine.

Beautiful. If only they could get a pronounceable capital.

New street circuit in/on Sao Tome. Pitlane not decided. If anyone has an idea for that, let me know.

List doesn't count dependencies, mate.

Looking around the internet, found this.

Clockwise or Anticlockwise?

I like it, it has a nice flow. Those fast corners at the northern end of the circuit may need to be looked at though.

Have you thought about where the pitlane would be?

It is clockwise (I place the points in track direction order).

The S/F road, if you zoom in enough (brilliant, Google), it reveals itself to be divided. Race line would use the left-hand lanes (opposite traffic flow) with the pit lane splitting at an intersection (probably Coney Dr.) using the right-hand lanes.

Ha, nice mix of Watkins and Zandvoort there. That would be something.

Would the mountain kingdoms be allowed even though both of them are completely surrounded by South Africa? Some interesting hillclimb events might be possible there (which of course, wouldn't be allowed on this thread).

They exceed the limits of a defined microstate (title was a misnomer) which are either have less than 100 sq. km of territory or less than 500,000 residents. Although I did work on a circuit in Lesotho, and it was good (Holy elevation change).

Please forgive the scale...

I'm not sure how Bruton Smith and St. Peter feel about that.

Tathrim · 25 Jan 2015, 21:45 (Ref:3497392)

It's not in the vatican (becuase the state's quite small and impractical, but here's a circuit that's right next to it).

Linked as a Google maps route, https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/41...!1m0!3e2?hl=en

Anticlockwise in terms of the direction. Where the roue goes to a footpath, I'm using the road next to it, and I'm using the higway instead of the chicaney bits at the west of the image.

A very nice track, with some beautiful corner shapes. I especially like those long bends which go around more than 180 degrees.

Could you post it on this board, please? I'm curious!

LOL! It's the only oval on which the width of the racing line is less than half a lane!
