Airport Tracks using GMap-Pedometer
I have created a few tracks that run on airport runways, some I have posted before, a couple are new. All run clockwise, except for Monterey Peninsula Airport.
Detroit City Airport: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=218314 Monterey Peninsula Airport: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=218323 Paris Airport: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=218372 Sacramento Executive Airport: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=218340 St. Paul Downtown Airport: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=218349 Teterboro Airport: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=218361 Westchester County Airport: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=218367 What do you guys think of them? |

Detroit - Simple. I think the straights are a bit too long.
Monterey - Not bad for an airport circuit. Paris - Not bad for an airport circuit. Sacramento - I have mixed feelings on this one. St. Paul - I like it. Not bad. Teterboro - A little bit 'too' simple I think. Reminds me a lot of Silverstone's Stowe Circuit. Westchester - I like it a lot. All up, good job. |

I like Monterey Peninsula Airport the best. I suppose that when you think about it, airport circuits have limited space, so wouldn't be easy. nice job.

Here's one of Edinburgh International Airport.
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=219601 It uses sections of the "old" short runway along with the parking ramps for the Freight Terminal (Formerly RAF Turnhouse). The main runway and terminal are well away from the circuit layout...zoom out and you'll see what I mean. Circuit is anticlockwise with the pit straight starting at the marker Last edited by ScotsBrutesFan; 5 Jun 2006 at 22:21. |

I did an airport track all the way back in 2003. Check out my post here.
That Paris track is only one of three airports in/near Paris, by the way.

Guys, circuits on international airports are no-no's. There's no way they'd be shut down just for the sake of autoracing. You're better off picking slightly smaller airfields.

Well I suppose your right. But then again, they are fantasy tracks.

How big's Burke Lakefront (in terms of status as an airport)?

Edinburgh and Cardiff have International status simply because Great Britain is an Island, and even the shortest of "regional routes" involves crossing borders.
In saying that a regular Transatlantic service began this week from Edinburgh to Atlanta, so I suppose it's status is increasing all the time. |

Cardiff hasn't actually been an "international" airport for long, but I better leave it alone.So, instead, I've done this at Filton Airport, Bristol (it's not a major one!!):
