Grand Prix Rejects

Edit: Made a new track.

Maxim Fomenko circuit of Lake Balqash

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5589651

Circuit starts with very fast kink. Then continuing full speed until left-hander which needs just a small braking. Followed by a fast right-hander next corner is slow one. Acceleration and tight right-hander until we reach 1,5-kilometre purpose built bridge section which has some fast corners. After drivers have exited the bridge, the tricky section starts with lots of cornering. Tight left-hander ends that section and we are back in long full-speed section where startline is.

There hasn't been a new circuit proposal and since we are few days behind normal schedule I stop the first part here. Nine different circuits this time.

OK, Waffle Cat may change the deadline, but I just posted because it had already taken longer time than previous design phase, and before this drops into page 2.

I have just returned to this forum after a short holiday, and this has indeed dropped to page 2 (just!) and only two people have voted in a week?! I haven't looked at all the entries for some time (and I have a lot of threads to catch up on) so won't vote now, but please take this as a prompt to do so!

I agree, the voting deadline passed three days ago

This thread is not far from falling off the first page again...

The results of Kazakhstan seem quite clear that tommykl should make next set of rules.

Awaiting confirmation, of course, but I'm already thinking

I apologize, I was totally uninspired for ideas, though I did have a very good idea but I forgot it...

I'm a bit disappointed in the lack of voting especially after some of dr-baker's reminders,but I think I should start the next round just to get interest back.As tommykl looks like the clear winner,he will pick the next round.

I apologise for neither entering nor voting. I have very little free time at the moment, with a lot on my plate, so things like this have to take a back seat I'm afraid. That said, whilst I don't want to criticise Jeremy, the stipulations for this round were pretty vague and didn't offer much of a challenge. I think future winners should take note of this and be more specific with their set of guidelines when deciding on an area to use.

Then, here I go:

-The circuit can use only existing roads, no other roads may be built.
-The circuit must be between 2km and 8km long
-The circuit must be located in the Belgian province of Liège (just so I can say how good some of them can actually be)
-The circuit must be awesome

That's it, no real guidelines, the length of the track is pretty much a liberty, and roads aren't what's lacking in Liège. Good roads, however, are

My entry.

I am returning after missing the last 2 rounds.

Probably won't win, but here's my attempt.

I was going to do a circuit in Liege itself. Then I found a better alternative

I never came here; but I just did this http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5615609

Same location as one of the earlier ones.

Alright,let's set the deadline by Sunday.

Here's an entry, though it may not be my final entry:

It was originally part of two much longer circuits that were too long for the competition:

I'll actually rank the whole ten this time

1. WaffleCat - the only one who thought of using the Boulevard de la Sauvenière, which I always thought would make a great pitlane, plus some nice flowing corners and the Place St Lambert.
2. dr-baker - that place has some great scenery overlooking Liège and some flowing corners coupled with some straight part for overtaking, but just enough. Nice job.
3. Aerond - nice find there with the roads on the side of the valley and some good elevation changes. A drawback would be the width of the track though.
4. pi314159 - actually the track closest to where I live, nice flowing corners inside the woods, but I was a bit disappointed by the fiddly bit in front of the casino.
5. eurobrun - I think you were going for an Adelaide-esque track, and you used the Boulevard d'Avroy nicely, but I feel you could have made the transition to the other side of the park a bith smoother.
6. Benetton - it's a good track, flowing with an overtaking spot or two, but it looks oddly like the Hungaroring, which can't be all that good.
7. Captain Hammer - you would have been second had you been able to use more of your original track. the climb to the Sart-Tilman is simply brilliant to drive on, and I keep thinking it would make a great hillclimb.
8. UgncreativeUsergname - I can't see anything wrong with the track, and its location gives it some points, but I can't see any part in the track itself that would make it exciting.
9. Bleu - I've never actually been to Huy, but it looks like a very nice track you created there, though the last part lacks flow, and that's what I like in a track.
10. Wizzie - this track would have been at the very front in another round, but with the quality of the other tracks, there were too many 90° corners for my taste.

I also have this version, but it's too long and requires custom-built roads to work:
