Yes I completely agree but I just wanted to do a track that had as many Melbourne landmarks in it as possible.

Sorry but your circuit isnt that great. This one however is a MILLION times better…

@Macca I really like your idea of going past major tourist attractions in a city. This is mine for Adelaide.

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4046125

It starts on the pit straight of the old Grand Prix track, following it for just over a kilometre. It leaves the track, going straight on at Brewery Bend before turning left onto North Terrace. It goes past the State Museum, War Memorial, and Governor House before turning right on to King William Street. It crosses the Torrens River before turning left and going past Adelaide Oval. It then circles North Adelaide for several kilometres before turning right onto Melbourne Street. It then turns left then right, crosses the Torrens again before going through the Botanic Gardens and rejoining the Grand Prix Track.
It’d be a reasonable circuit although at 16.5km its probably just a tad too long.

This is my circuit around my old home town of Launceston: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4046218 Lots of elevation change and some nice scenery. The AVUS style run up and down the bypass could be lopped off if it needed to be a bit shorter. Lots of fast sections and lots of camber.

I also have a Pescara-shaming length circuit somewhere which is totally unsuitable for F1 cars but might work as some kind of rallying version of the Targa Florio.

Here is a (poorly) revised version of my local track, because it is far too short as it is. i cant make the turns smoothe because gmaps doesnt allow me to :( But maybe later I’ll post a better version of it. Anyway, off to teh side is the Karting track that I race on!

Here’s that Paris one I did for a post two years ago:

I remember having to tweak it because the original version looked a bit phallic. You can probably work out how!

A street circuit through Cairo! Passing through the great pyramid :D
Doesn’t look too promising though!

OK, I hope I’ve done mine ok, but this is a street circuit in London that I’ve been thinking of for ages. I’ll concede it has one or two problems: it’s probably a bit too fast (dangerously fast) and I wouldn’t know where to put the pits but I think it’s otherwise brilliant.

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4047934 (anti-clockwise)

Start finish straight is on the Mall, leading up to the Victoria memorial fountain, from there you turn left twice onto Pall Mall, where you head east, taking a corner past Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster, crossing the Westminster bridge. Then you head north on the east bank of the river until you turn right to go past the Royal Albert Hall. Then you head back over the river again. From there you take a left turn and head towards Trafalgar square, taking a sweeping bend around the square itself, from there it’s a straight run to the finish. Tilke – eat your heart out!

Another one in Egypt (this one I think is pretty cool!)
The Sharm el Sheikh street circuit!

This was my first attempt, so naturally I chose NYC…

That’s actually one that got suggested a while ago by some magazine or other, Damion.

So, as New York has five boroughs, I’m going to make one for each.

Manhattan – http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4048086

Brooklyn – http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4048101

The Bronx – http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4048107

Queens – http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4048122

Staten Island (I’m more interested in the shape than the length) – http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4048127

This is my take on the Valencia street circuit. roads are prob a bit thin in places but surley it would be better then current track :P Just over 6 kays and included the marina.

This is an idea I made a while back for rFactor but only managed to get it half finished. The amount of work required to do all the buildings and trackside etc was too much for me on my own. But here is it anyways. I give you, Liverpool Waterfront Circuit! Completely based on real life (well, a few parts needed construction but I’ve done it exactly the way Singapore did it for extra realism), here are a few videos and screenshots (of various stages of development).

If anyone wants to have a go for rFactor let me know and I’ll sort something out. Didn’t get around to programming any AI or bumps in the track though so it’s very rough.

This is my take at a Perugia street circuit. I opted to use Google Earth instead of Google Maps Pedometer, to show the height variation. I guess this should be Red Bull territory ;) Length 4.5 km.

This is my Edinburgh attempt. It’d probably incur the wrath of the local authorities due to the trees lining Middle Meadow Walk that would have to go, but at least this way you can see Turn One from my bedroom window. :D

Anybody attempted Vodafone’s Hometown GP?

You plot out a circuit (up to 8km in length) on Google Maps, which then gets turned into a racing circuit and you get to do a few laps of it in Jenson Button’s McLaren (you can’t play as Lewis Hamilton). It’s a little bit dodgy because absolutely all of the corners are banked, and for some reason my computer shuts itself down after I complete a lap. But otherwise, it’s officially the most awsome thing ever.
