Hmm, not really fond of it. The track is mainly made up of quite boring corners. Corners 1-2, 9 and 12-13 are an exeption.

I would switch the direction and get rid of the T14-15 chicane (it seems unnecessary). Those are minor complaints though. Other than that, it's not bad at all. As werner said, the graphics are excellent.

I'd like to see a touring car race on Oscar North East (the blue one), but run in clockwise direction. That should be fun.
GP circuit: That Turn 1-2 Esse looks like it would be difficult to go through two-wide after the start. Overambitious rookies won't pull back, though. The highspeed run from Turn 5 to Turn 10 is quite nice. The northeastern loop is quite nice, too, but much better clockwise. Maybe you can mirror it around to make it anticlockwise? |

The more I look at the design, I agree that there is some merit in running the North East part in the other direction, but at the same time I think that it would loose the feels that I was aiming for...which of course I haven't made any attempt to describe, so your comments are valid.
The parts about the NE circuit I like include the stadium section which would have to be seriously reworked to go the other way, also the Tight Left open right "chicane" prior to where the GP circuit departs would also need to go the other way. There would also need to be the small matter of rejoining the GP circuit which given different directions means a bridge/tunnel. |

I couldn't care less because I like it the way it is.
