pit straight is the straight where the 1 km marker is
track is at Barajas airport in madrid

If anyone is planning on redesigning, or for anyone who hasnt made a circuit yet, I will count a kink as long as it is about as tight as the first blanchimont corner at Spa Francorchamps or tighter

Here is the corner just incase you’re unclear

I havent checked all of the designs yet, So that message above is just a Heads-Up

Well done @npf1, happy with second place

Oh, my! Just a few weeks ago I figured I’d never win any of these and now the wins are slowly coming in! Thanks guys!

Now, for this challenge I went into the history books (wiki, actually). The Roy Hesketh Circuit in South Africa used to be a large part of motorsport in South Africa, but was partially demolished in the 80s. Your task is to bring F1 to Pietermaritzburg. Here is the current track: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5851334 As you can see it is much too short. That why there’s some rules.

- The circuit has to be between 4.5 and 6 kilometers long, but;
- No buildings or roads may be demolished.
- You may also opt to design a new track in the direct (less than 1 kilometer from a public road) vicinity of Pietermaritzburg. (The rules about length and demolishing still apply.)
- If you chose to redesign the Roy Hesketh circuit, you must use as much of the current track as possible.

The entries close Saturday at 15:00 GMT, 16:00 CET.

Due to the low amount of entries so far and a personal change of plans for tomorrow, I’m going to delay the deadline until further notice, but expect it before Monday.

And well… Here’s what I’ve come up with: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5852444

Although this circuit crosses over a few roads, it does not destroy them. I imagine that the could would instead have bridges built over them.
