Interesting thread guys. Here are some of my Tilke circuit modifications:

Abu Dhabi:

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5740128

I have used the second S bend in the first sector and have also got rid of the chicane and opened up the hairpin and brought it forward so there is enough run-off without the chicane. The chicane halfway down the straight has been opened up to improve the flow of the circuit, and I have cut out the chicane at the bottom of the circuit to increase the speed into the fast right handers to make them more challenging. I have also opened up the penultimate corner.

Bahrain:

I have diverted the cars down the outer circuit and missed out the chicane to create a high speed section for overtaking into a new hairpin which then brings the cars onto the inner circuit, which they then follow round to the tightening left hander. The only change in this section is the ninety degree left has been opened to make it more challenging. Behind the pits, the cars bear right onto the ‘oval’, where they rejoin the straight.

Shanghai:

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5740151

I have slightly opened the turn 6 hairpin to increase speeds into the esses, after which I have replaced the two slow left handers with one medium speed corner, which adds to the esses and makes them tighten in succession. i have then changed the next hairpin into a left kink on to the long right hander which would be more steeply banked. I have then changed the hairpin into a more classically shaped one, and opened up the final corner a bit.

Istanbul:

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5740157

the best Tilke circuit before COTA but I think some areas could be better. I have made the first corner quicker and opened up turns 3 and 4 to give a better flow. I have obviously left turn 8 alone but opened up the chicane afterwards so they enter the tightened kink on the back straight at higher speeds. I imagine this to be like the old 130R. This could then cause mistakes and allow for overtaking into the final few turns, which I have left alone as they provide good wheel to wheel dicing for position.

@nickv
I like what you’ve done with Abu Dhabi, especially the first sector. Looks a lot more natural than it is now.

@sigman1998
You first search the track of your choice. Mind you, it won’t find all tracks by circuitname alone. You’ll need to select the ‘Draw route’ option ‘manually (straight lines)’. Then you hit the ‘start recording’ button and double click to set a starting point, and another double click to set another ‘point’, to draw. For something a little more elaborate: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/gp/about/usageInstructions

Paul Richard: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5740278

If they’re going there, I’d like it to be a high speed track with a small number of annoying sharp bends. It’d be hard to overtake still, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the likes of Maldonado, Grosjean and Perez would make some absolutely madman moves in those sharp bends.

Like Bahrain, it seems like a track that could use some shaking up. I like the second sector, but the second long straight immediately after the first (after the start finish straight even) kind of feels like to much. I’m going the other way, tacking the nicer section from the other way around, a bended straight for the crossing, some nice 2nd/3rd gear corners and the regular final sector to slow things down. I think we’d see some proper high speeds here.

As for the Nurburgring, I made an estimate of how they could increase spectator numbers, as well as the amount of money people would be willing to pay for a race there. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5740324 ;)

Abu Dhabi – made changes everywhere, really

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5740833

Bahrain – joined turn 8 to 11

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5740839

Shanghai – much more fast, sweeping corners

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5740826

India – modified first and last turns

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5740859

COTA – faster sequence leading to back straight, turn 15 is now a Hockenheim-style banked hairpin
