F1 Fanatic

Okay, so I won’t deny I got terribly over excited and basically threw the rule-book out of the window. However, it’s almost entirely on adjacent motorways, entirely feasible, and is shaped like something from […]

Being a Yorkshireman, I couldn’t resist creating another.

I restored the north of the circuit to its pre-2006 configuration, albeit with a tightened first corner to provide an overtaking opportunity. I then lengthened […]

Some really interesting designs. However, I’ve got to give it to Nick. A really interesting and outside the box solution carried out really well, creating a circuit with a nice mix of corners.

Just a shout out chaps. I’ll be deciding the winner at 8 o’clock BST this evening. If you want to enter, get it in before then.

Wow. My first entry ever has won! I’m now delighted to have an excuse to not revise by setting you chaps a fresh challenge. This thread’s been running for an awfully long time, so please, if this one has been […]

Springfield, Oregon.
6km.
Clockwise.

I’ve always loved simple circuits, the old Hockenheim and Silverstone layouts springing immediately to mind. In that vein I […]

Dijon-Prenois:

Just an extension really, that’d make it fit for Formula One.

Marina Bay:

Lengthened the back straight, […]

Bahrain:

8 corners, 2.1 miles. It’d be easy as hell to acheive, and it’d be bloody brilliant.

Okayama (TI Aida):
Not really a de-tilke-fication, but I’ve always loved the idea of a second race in Japan. When done in conjunction with a facility upgrade, it’d not only make the place F1 worthy, but IMO one […]

Thought I’d have a crack at Imola too. I tried to recapture the flowing nature of the original. There’s obviosuly not enough runoff to restore the original Tamburello, and personally I don’t mind the chicane. […]

I know it hasn’t even opened yet, but since day 1 I’ve thought COTD could have been improved:

Just tried to open it all out, and get rid of that ridiculous Mickey […]

It seems to me that there is clearly a trend towards creating excruciatingly insipid and bland motor racing circuits. If we for a moment leave aside the argument for changing the cars, and consider the […]

I agree with necrodethmortem. The esses look okay, but are neutered by the fact that there’s a slow corner straight after them, so the drivers wont carry any speed through the exit. Also, what is with the slow […]

I very much feel for Colin Edwards in this situation.

It was clear watching live that he was uttetly distraught (not to mention injured himself).

It’s also overwhelmingly obvious that there was nothing he […]

Q: Are you the kind of guy to have a �Plan-B�?
All my plans consist of ‘wing it’.

Q: Who is your dream date?
The redheaded american girl I met at a party about a month back and entirely failed to get off […]
