The links work fine for me. Also, how am I supposed to put screenshots on here? (Yes, I know about the IMG button but what websites should I use?)

I use Photobucket.

You have your way with screenshots. We others still use the raw track aerial. You can post screenshots, that doesn't bother me, and likely others. But I think we can stay with the normal stuff. You just have to be patient, although I can see concern if you have a bad Internet connection. It's just that occasionally there are longer courses in the track design briefing than most contests, like what I like to come up with. So, yes, maybe I didn't consider the quality of Internet connections or other techie stuff, so I apologize for that.

Maybe you should try reloading the oage a few times, and see what happens. It took me a few tries for me to get one of them to come up, so don't worry.

Indeed, patience is a virtue. After waiting for a while I can see clearly (now, the rain has gone )
Just ignore me.

Nobody could agree on anything today, with seven point-scorers and a tie for the win.

Here's a little challenge for you...

The tri-country circuit
-Your circuit must be spread out over at least three (3) countries generally recognized as independent. Just to be controversial, both Kosovo and Palestine are counted as independent countries, as is Taiwan.
-Your circuit must be maximum 30km long and include at least 5km of existing roads.
-No buildings may be torn down. Central reserves, roundabounts or any kind of green area is fair game.

Seeing the number of tri-points in the world, this should be no problem

Here's the Lichtenstein 6 hours circuit, which at 25.7 km crosses the Rhine twice and overlaps into Switzerland and Austria. The first 3 km or so blasting along the E43 autobahn parallel to the Rhine may seem a bit dull (albeit fast), but it does give me somewhere to put the pits and start/finish line and should be compensated for by the stretch over the hills between the 15 km and 22 km marks.

So, it's peteroli34's turn!

Azerbaijan Grand Prix

Bernie wants to have a Grand Prix in Azerbaijan so your challenge is to create a track in that country

The only Rule is that the track must be between 4 and 7km long

have fun and good luck

http://i1247.photobucket.com/albums/gg6 ... dd82d4.png
The home straight is about 1.25 km, so it should be 4-7 km in total

Here's mine, with a genuine stadium section. (Without that, my track was only going to be 3.85 km...)

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6228458

This track has 200 meters of elevation change. The 1st sector is influenced on Suzuka, the 2nd on Fuji and 3rd on Istanbul Park.

I think that Baku's northern suburb of Zabrat needs a F1 circuit more than an airport - after all, Baku's international airport is less than 5 km away. 4.224 km, and using the tarmac inside the start/finish line for pit straight.

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6229054

I've gone right for the top end of the track length and concentrated on overtaking spots. A few high speed kinks that will look good on the cameras thrown in there too. Also, there's a cool looking spot for a pit complex! A very American style straight circuit if you ask me.

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6230006

Here is my track in Baku.
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com?r=6230802
It should be up there for rejectfulness

A nice lake offers as a focal point for this circuit, on the outskirts of Baku.

My track, somewhere north of Baku.
