Jo Siffert Raceway
This is a new track I made named after Jo Siffert. It has loads of elevation change, with the lowest parts of the track at the bottom of the image & the highest point just before the end of the longest straight. While the straights may seen excessively long I was trying to get that feeling of the old Hockenheim-teams setting cars up with really low downforce just to prevent themselves getting overtaken on the fast bits, with this leading to them squirming around, struggling for grip on the slower bits. Hope you like!!
p.s. due to the length of the straights the circuit is nearly 9km long! |

Again a lovely circuit - top draw. Love the long stretch into the forest.

Looks great, maybe the long straight is too long but on the other hand the old long straights at Hockenheim and Le Mans were great.

What you might want to add, though, is another shortcut from the long, long straight immediately back to the start-finish straight. That would make for a great club circuit, too. And perhaps, for club racing, one or even two chicanes in that long straight.
