PERFECT GRAND PRIX RECIPE - Track

[bcoxa]

They still race there! I did not realise, thought it was just for tourist is plod around.

Perfect world (if it was relayed, safety improved... etc) it would make a great inclusion to the world of F1.

Sort the men from the boys…

you ain't the only one. to add to this track a corkscrew like Laguna Seca's only more of a drop if can, a 30 deg or more banking, an off camber about 10 deg. corner, and a tunnel section, maybe even an upside down section because they can do it if they want to

downforce wise these cars could drive upside down except the motor would crap out due to lack of oil pressure and or fuel delivery stopping from the pickup point being above where the gravity puts the fuel

No it won't crap out for lack of fuel. The fuel in F1 cars is fed through a smaller tank that is filled every so often from the main tank (short quick burst through a control pump). This smaller tank is fitted with another pump that pushes fuel through the lines at the rates needed. So, if you only have a short upside-down section, which would last, say 2-3 seconds at most, then that would not be enough to bleed the fuel lines dry from gravity.

As for the oil pressure, the engineers will find a fix for that in a matter of minutes. And the breather would not fail either. I think it'll all be fine. You'd only run into problems if this upside-down run is over 10 seconds, in my opinion.

If skateboarders can do a full loop F1 cars can do too, although the loop would have to be of larger radius.

I was talking about sustained running, which would be impossible.

I just wrote a whole post arguing why the tank couldn't work until I realized you said 2-3 seconds of running.

on topic... Hamburgerring

more ideas: A roller coaster corkscrew, and a turn where the first half is uphill and 2nd half is downhill or vice versa

[sknguy]

Just for the heck of it:

From the start/finish 470-500 metre straight;
into the first turn and shortened second turn of Shanghai circuit;
onto a short 100-120 metre straight;
into the Suzuka complex of turns 3,4,5 & 6;
onto a 300-340 metre straight
into a 130/140 degree right turn;
onto a 220-240 metre straight;
into the four apex turn 8 of Istanbul Park circuit;
onto a 300-340 metre straight;
into a 90 degree right turn;
onto a 250-280 metre sweeping right turn;
into the Silverstone complex, Maggotts, Becketts & Chapel;
onto a 50-60 metre straight;
into Sepang’s turns 7 & 8;
onto a 210-230 metre straight;
into a 170 degree left and 80 degree right sweeper;
onto the main straight.



A creative driver or capable car shouldn't need straight line speed to be fast.

Put in an upside down section... Let us see if F1 cars can really drive upside down..

This is what i'd want

I made this track a couple years ago when i was younger and bored in school one day. I drew it on paper first then scanned and did a proper version in Adobe Photoshop.

This is the main track showing all where all the corners were derived from



This shows the other inner tracks i added so this track could be used by other smaller series as well.



I wish i knew how to model tracks in F1 Sims, i started learning ages ago, but never committed fully enough.


Do not steal it hehe

Istanbul turn looks sick though..
