I can see this being moved. Have you been visiting the My Tracks section before? They do great work, I drop in for a look every now and then. Say hi to them, they don't bite.

[Lustigson]

Here's one: a great street circuit, 3.7 km (2.3 mi) long, with 7 left-handers and 9 right-handers. Check it out:

A well-deserved vacation, if I may say so myself. I went to the Spanish Grand Prix and added a two-week holiday to the visit. And I've done some writing for my book, too.

Sounds great.

Great track bio and werner.

That looks like a very high speed thrilling course.The T6(if riden CW) looks like a lot of fun, coming in at well over a buck and some change.

I'd like to come up with something,and Australia is 100,000 times larger than PR so we don't need to concern about lack of space...

Well, especially if you design yur track in the heart of the country

Thx for your words.

I'm working on "Circuit Australia", like Aus it's HUGE !!!

Here's a sneaky peak

[bio]

I can't really make out too much

[LuiggiSpeed]

Here's mine.
It's the Mick Doohan Intl Race Park, it's in Sydney and it's got a hotel for the racers and family,a recreational area, perfectly surrounded & portected,where the family can enjoy the pool & courts, while Dad races his toys.

SBF: good work so far, liking the gradients.

LuiggiSpeed: Also Nice, bit a bit skeptical about the pit lane.

Guys,

Sketchup images are simply great! But... would you also submit a top view of the tracks? Sometimes perspective makes it rather hard to imagine the track - now here, with your track, Luiggi - it sure looks great - I just have a hard time imagining the "end" part since it's squeezed too much because of the perspective

Sorry, I thought I didi and then find out something got in the way...here I go:


Tathrim you're right about the pitlane, I'm not completly happy either!

[bio]

Thx!

[LuiggiSpeed]

I tried to make every situation possible, high speed corners, low speed corners, varying radius esses, a good decreasing radius, a hairpin, a good 700m straight, a hi speed slight curve(to measure testosterone levels) ,some heavy braking spots,a double apex and some chicanes thrown in the mix.It is one of my usual wrap up designs that uses up space and keeps the diferent spots on the track within visual contact.

"riding" it proved it is kind of challenging and the sheer size of it makes F1 racing a piece of cake.

Still need to fill a lot of details,it's WIP.
I'm having secons thoughts about those two long straights back to back,since they will provide too much advantage to cars/bikes that are straightline fast.I love to mix up fast vs technical sections to better average out the ability of participants.

[ScotsBrutesFan]

As Bio is especially asking about Top views, here is Preview 2 of my entry for the Aussie circuit. It may look complete but there is still much work to do to get it to my satisfaction.

To get a sense of scale the Pit straight is 1048m in length, with 4 others over 800m, the longest over the bridge is 1160m

Oh, man, a superb one!

That looks suspiciously like the Adelaide street crcuit, last used in that configuration for the 'Race of 1000 Years' ALMS 24hr.

I'm not sure if you were passing that off as your own. or merely pointing out a good circuit.....

Very much the latter, Mick. Although partly fed by nostalgia, the Adelaide Grand Prix Circuit was/is one of the best tracks in Oz, IMHO.

[TilkeWannabe]

Agreed. Very entertaining.Up early, also.

[Lustigson]

Up early, and already at work, too... an hour's drive away from home.
