At track ideally should be 4.3km in length, if you take Interlagos and Hungaroring as the 2 shortest tracks that arnt a street circuit.Jersey Tom wrote:Why is it too short?

FIA track charter or something. There is a minimum distance per lap. I cannot find it for the love of me, but theres a regulation somewhere.Jersey Tom wrote:Haha. Says who?ESPImperium wrote:At track ideally should be 4.3km in lengthJersey Tom wrote:Why is it too short?
Yes but there's a difference between "minimum" and "ideal"...ESPImperium wrote:FIA track charter or something. There is a minimum distance per lap.

As I've said before, NYC residents would complain of noise pollution in a heartbeat. Yes, you'll have about 3 million wanting the race and only about 100 old farts complaining but too bad it's not me telling them to shut up.ISLAMATRON wrote:That is pretty nice...mx_tifosi wrote:Here is a supposed street circuit in NYC.
I once scribbled out a track down around Battery park, just wish I knew how to (quickly & easily) make it look pretty like that one.
Battery Park and the area, would seem much more "doable" for an F1 race than central park... but I dont care if they put it in Jersey, I'd still be there.

Turn 13(reverse Indy turn 1) was one of the best during its time, and even the double 180's at the end of the back straight provided some good side by side racing.Jersey Tom wrote:This makes no sense.Miguel wrote:I understand the history and significance of the brickyard, but people living in the US deserve better than F1 cars through 2nd gear corners.

You can't compare Indy to Monaco. Monaco GP is a properly traditional venue. Current Indy GP layout shares 1 straight and 1 corner with the historic Grand Prix. They even go the wrong way. A few bricks at the main straight and an odd pile up in T1-T2 is not enough to make it all attractive.ISLAMATRON wrote:So you are saying F1 should drop Monaco too?

I'd keep Monaco for historical reasons, but I'd drop Singapore and Valencia tomorrow. In any case, F1 cars really look great in Casino, Tabac and, above all, the swimming pool. Truth to be said, I'd also drop Bahrain and revert sector 3 in Montmelo in a heartbeat.ISLAMATRON wrote:So you are saying F1 should drop Monaco too?
