Foster should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Vegas

Alright, its a well known fact that in 2007, Bernie wants to move the USGP to vegas. It looks like this may be the last time at Indy, so what do we have for a circuit, a new one (no parkinglots ) for the new site of the USGP?

Here's my go, main strech being on the Strip, with the main hotel on the left of it being the Mandalay Bay.

Could you post that image again in JPEG or PNG format, simply because for those of us without fast internet connections at 869kb image takes ages to load.

Well, the post before appears to not to actually provide anything.

I tried to attach a thumbnail with it converted to a jpg, but it seemingly didn't actually upload the image. The little thumbnail box appeared and all that, but without what was meant to be there.

Confusing.

***

Anyway, I would say that the design there manages to lessen the problems of nothing but 90 degree turns a wee bit. Still got the same problem, fundamentally, though.

Street-race in Vegas is not a good idea IMHO.

******

Set let us try it this way, again in jpg format.

Yah I agree that the track does have a lot of 90's in it, but when you look at the layout for the city of Vegas, there isn't much for "good" natural street turns. The only thing you can do is use parking lot's, and we all know how that goes.

P.S. Dutton, you pic worked for me.

The one I deleted because it wasn't visible my end? Great! LMAO That is strange. Oh, well, so be it.

Oh, absolutely, this is the problem Foster. I imagine you have found about the best compromise.

Okay, going to try and attach an alternative route. It is based in the same area as Foster's.

I am sure it is utterly unworkable, , although the cars could fit, .

It seems that last time I attached on that worked, although it didn't seem it to me.

So, whether it looks like it has or not, I will not change anything this time.

Please let me know whether or not it has worked.
