Re: Beat Tilke at his own game

I'm going to try that out with my own car at about 6 am next sunday, since you have to drive the wrong way in some streets :mrgreen:

That's your best work so far. I'm glad my tip on a good location paid off :)

Cheers!

Re: Beat Tilke at his own game

This is a 6.99 km long Bathplug. It's a Bathplugwise race track. The pit-lane is on the horizontal Bathplug straight on the top of the image, on the left hand (below the straight in the graph). Entrance at the chicane before the final bathplug. Many bits of road used for this Bahtplug are narrow bec...

I'll write one of the turn-by-turn things I do about this Singapore since you asked for something. First thing I want to mention is that I love how you actually specified the runoff areas to show that everything's at least vaguely practical, that's pretty cool. The first two turns remind me of Abu ...

Re: Beat Tilke at his own game

Sepang, Shanghai, Istanbul, Valencia, Yeongam, and Austin are some of the best circuits ever. It's hard to decide which one of those is the best. I'd probably have to go with Sepang. I love driving around that circuit on the F1 video games. It just has a certain flow to it, it's like Tilke's mini N...

Re: Beat Tilke at his own game

Singapore: I'd keep the corner-before-long-straight in its current form since it now seems to work with allowing overtaking, and extend the straight so the track went round the park, and from there return to your 'inner' track. Otherwise, nice one. Plus I do like the 90 degree turn part which goes ...

The problem with most of the changes everyone is making to Sepang is that they're simply not possible. For example, in the last one Dario made, the first corner would not work out, since the drop in elevation would be too high (there's a reason why the track has to fold back on itself). Also, the a...

Problem with that Nürburgring is that the inclines are probably not suited to this lay out. The part where you enter the nordschleife is a valley.
