Grand Prix Rejects

This is my proposal using the outskirts of Lerwick: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5639772 It consists of a pit straight around the ferry terminal ending in a hairpin; then the track uses North Road and Ladies drive with a new, fast corner created to add a bit of excitement to the section before the cross with the A970, then the track uses said road to go back to Lerwick with some really fast corners before a short cut to one of the parts of the ferry terminal is created to be able to create a chicane that both offers an overtaking opportunity and the chance to exit the chicane close enough to the car in front to try overtaking at the first corner.

I made another one which was ditched:

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5639751

Here's mine: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5640021

The circuit goes clockwise from the black dot marker. The first corners are extremely, and it should be possible to take them without having to brake, but the track comes across its first overtaking opportunity at turn 6, a hairpin, that leads the drivers back onto the public roads that were left at turn 4. the circuit follows the road for about half a mile, then sharply turns right into a purpose-built straight leading into the slowest point of the circuit, the chicane at turns 8 and 9. The circuit then winds through the village of Gott with some very fast corners before encountering the circuit's third overtaking spot, turn 14, as the circuit reaches the A970 once more. The sweeping turn 15 leads into the final corner, a 90° left hander, the final overtaking spot.

Just under 5 miles long, with just over 3 miles of public road.

EDITED. New, even faster version.

4.94 miles of pure rejectfulness in the middle of bloody nowhere, with 3.5 miles of it on existing roads: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5640170

Right, let's see if I can do any better here this time, with a bad rip-off of Suzuka...

Erm,pasta,your track,for the second competition in a row,is not allowed by rules. AndreaModa said 3 miles must be covered by existing roads.Even if you did include that,your track is still illegal on the basis that a bit of your temporary track segment is a bridge,which AndreaModa also said is not allowed.

Anyways,the competition deadline is Monday.

Damn and blast !!!!!!!! For a second time in a row then, disqualify me. How rejectful is that, disqualified from a design competition twice in a row!

Valsgarth-Norwick public road circuit in the northernmost part of the island.

You're not DQ'ed,it's just that your track was off.You can design another one if you like.

Also,found myself a fast track.With two tight hairpins,an out-of-place chicane and just too fast,here is the Shitelands...oops,Shetland Island GP:http://www.gmap-pedometer.com?r=5640227

The Grand Prix Circuit of Gulberwick.

The circuit runs clockwise; the pit straight is denoted by the black dot.

If there's anything I've learned in this week's competition, it's that I never wish to live in the Shetland Islands. Ever.

If there's anything I've learned this time around, it's that I need to start reading the rules. Oh, and I can't design a tack to save my life

I was trying to use Fair Isle the whole time just to be creative, but the roads there don't loop around for 3 miles...

So instead, using Sumburgh Airport I have created... this.

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5646291

Make of it what you will. Not bad for a first effort.

Oh yeah and I'm back after God-knows-how-long. w00t.

Okay,there were a lot of entrants here,let's just hope for more voters.

It's not that your tracks are bad, but just that the others are better.

Some dividing opinions here, but that's nice.

One thing I've learned: there are not many streets in the Shetland Islands. (Lots of room for a permanent track to be put there, though!)

Misc Awards:
The Forgotten Men:This award goes to Nuppiz and Wizzie,for getting their tracks completely ignored in the public eye.Sad.

Since school exams are getting closer for me and considering my...inconsistent schedule,I might put this on hiatus after the next one,or let someone else carry the baton until I can join back after exams. In the meantime,Mr Warren Hughes,step up to the plate again for your next theme.

Well I've entered this twice and I've won twice! Unfortunately I once again forgot to vote

Anyway, I'm going to be really self-indulgent (and, it must be said, dull) for my next theme and ask you to come up with a street circuit in my own home city of Sunderland. Just to be clear on boundaries, we are using the town of Sunderland not the official 'City of Sunderland' which includes Washington, Houghton-le-Spring, Hetton-le-Hole etc. - ie your circuit must be between the A19 and the sea, north of Seaham and south of a horizontal straight line between the A19/A184 roundabout and the sea. There's no minimum length requirement but I'm going to set a maximum of 4.5 miles (just over 7km) so that nobody goes absolutely crazy.

I have to say I'm looking forward to seeing what you all come up with (I also know where I would put my own entry if I was allowed to enter!).

My entry: A circuit at the coast in the south of Sunderland:

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5661010

Hooray for power circuits:
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5661036

Crosses over a pair of bridges. Why not?

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5661066

This is my proposal; It consists of a mixture of fast straights, some 90º technical corners and a fast-flowing section southern of Sunderland city centre. The start/finish straight finishes in a 90º right turn heading into the technical section of the track, which ends up in a 500m straight ending in another right angle, which leads into the back straight, ending in a chicane at the roundabout, then heading into Tunstall Hope Road for a fast flowing section with a number of varied fast turns before heading into the start/finish straight again. Alternatively, the back straight could be used as the start/finish straight using Western Hill as the pitlane. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5661168

Start/finish on Durham Road (A690), the two thirds at the beginning very fast, the last third with few tighter corners. A fair share of elevations too.

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5661227

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5661238

I thought I'd go for something simple. Full of straight and fast kinks, as well as a Peraltada-esque hairpin ended by two chicanes closer to the first chicanes at Monza in the 80s and 90s.
