F1 Fanatic

@Kingshark Not accusing you of plagiarism, but it looks a lot like the one I posted earlier :P. And 5-6-7 reminds me of Indianapolis and Arnage, but in reverse and not as tight.

some street circuits

@kingshark – I’m afraid I’m not really a fan. I think a lot of your circuits are far too angular; there’s no really fast corners or anything of that ilk. Looking at your latest design, what was stopping turns five and six from being one long sweeper? Or turns seven and eight?

I just think your designs have an inorganic quality to them that they sorely need.

@prisoner-monkeys I really like the Melbourne and first Lisbon track. The others seem to lack some flow.

I think I’ve found a good one: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5236657

Basically Copse-Maggotts-Becketts-Chapel end-on-end, but with two hairpins. If run counterclockwise, I imagine lots of passing opportunities in the Western hairpin close to the seaside and an occasional attempt at the Southeastern hairpin (maybe with DRS). And because of the many right hand turns, the drivers’ necks will be spared.

So many circuits, so many great imaginations. I think I’ve found my heaven :D

Prisoner Monkeys – I particularly like your Stuttgart circuit and the one near the Vatican City

Here are 7 of my favourites near where I live. Some roads are mostly narrow but imagine them just a little bit wider ;)

The Bingley and Mammoth some may have seen already.

I create circuits using Google Earth and the ruler tool, I find it very useful to calculate the length and check out the ‘rough’ elevations. Streets circuits are easy to make and it’s surprising how many different ideas you can come up with.

More! More!

I am convinced Stuttgart was built by racing drivers. There are so many fantastic roads there.

@brickles They’re nice, but that St. Ives course is outstanding.
