Vintage Raceway
Too often the 1900s, '10s, '20s, '30s & '40s are forgotten for the quality of their drivers & teams & the brilliance of their race circuits. With Vintage Raceway I aim to put this right. It is longer than the Nordschleife at 18.7 miles & is a true monster of a circuit. All the corners are named after drivers, teams & circuits of the period between Szisz winning the first GP to Farina in 1949. There is more elevation change than the Nurburgring as well-think of it as the Nurburgring on speed ! There is banking on several corners but I will leave you to guess which ones as I think that a dream circuit like this is best left to the imagination for specifics. Just think that all corners are based on the characteristics of the person, team or circuit that they are named after! Obviously there are many similarities to the Nurburgring & I tried to make every corner combination flow as well as possible! Sorry about the size of the track but I got a bit carried away when designing it ! Hope you love it & feel free to edit! Better images may follow!

Yeah i've just had a trouser accident.
I like alot, although there's one thing, considering the length of the track, isn't the pitlane a bit big? I really like the section from Pau to Mors, really flowing, awesome dude. The highlight of that section is either sitges or indianapolis. I like really like this one, well done. |

I put in a large pitlane as I was thinking of endurance racing when I designed the track, so grid sizes would be large, requiring a large pitlane, although it may still be a bit long!
