Novelty Designs
Circuits which have a themed layout but probably wouldn't work for actually racing on.
This is based on a silhouette of a Formula BMW |

that track looks okay acctually but i would make the corners more curved, rather that having straight lines.

Well it is an F BMW car track (by that I mean shaped like one) and it is very accurate to the shape, good.

My idea was to keep the designs loosely motorsport related...The first posting was taking this to extreme. |

That novelty track idea might become a reality someday, since most sports stadiums these days are named after sponsors, so why not construct a race track with the shape of the logo of the sponsor? I'm not talking about a Ford-shaped oval here, but I tried that in my own track designer heyday in the early 90s with a ficticious club circuit for a ficticious club whose logo consisted of a pig's head. Tracks like this might be built someday.

One such track featured in the advertising on the back of the F3/GT package programmes the other year (and possibly elsewhere). It was a track in the shape of the Jaguar logo.

Yeah, wasn't there a track "Sunob" (reverse) designed in the shape of an F1 car on the original PS2 F1 games?
Also, Spa looks like some form of weaponry - and Monza is a boot. |

Yeah, that was on the very first F1 game! On the PS1.....ah, great days.
Spa is an Uzi! Best not to comment on what Snetterton is, though..... |
