Sector Lengths of Circuits

[Raikko]

I'm looking for the correct sizes of the various sectors ( 1, 2 and 3 ) of all the F1 circuits.
Can someone help me with this? Because I can't find it anywhere.

It's easy to get the full track length, but I can't find the sizes of the individual sectors.

No one could find it here...

I've looked and can't find this info either...

Google Earth is that bad?

Google Earth is that bad?

In fact I've tried this, but because the results were unsatisfying, I've decided to ask it on this forum as my last resort.

What do you mean unsatisfying? Do you have any idea where the traps are located?

I assure you I can give you way less than 1% error in length, using Google Earth, if you can point the exact sites to me. The trick is that you have to use a GIS to transform the track to plane coordinates, but I would do it happily.

Look what I've found!




PS: I realized I don't know where is turn 4, so as to mark a good point... but you should figure it out with a bit of time.

Question. How do you measure sector lengths? I mean, is it the shortest possible line? Probably meaning a straightline from apex to apex. Or is it the racing line? If so, which line do they take, especially at multiple-line corners? Is it a line straight down the middle of the track?

[Caito]

The circuit length given in the drawings is the "Centerline circuit length".

One could do a centerline circuit length in google earth. Find the error.

If 1m in google earth == 1.1m to the F1, then sector 1, 150m before turn6. 1.1x150=165m you go to google earth measure 165m before turn 6 and you put a marker for sector 1.

The problem is, I still don't know where turn 6 starts..(or any turn, really)



EDIT:


Most common measurements of track distance are( Ciro, please correct me if I'm wrong) center line and racing line.
