Grand Prix Rejects

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5672915

Welcome to the Nouvelle Spa track! This track has been designed to pay tribute to both the modern and the old Spa track and other classic circuits, as well as the river it crosses: Eau Rouge, while keeping all the safety measures a modern track needs. Some of the classic parts of the disused track have been recreated while other parts more situable for modern racing have been added, creating an unique racing experience and keeping as well a lenght similar to that of the disused track.
The lap starts at the new pit straight, drivers will leave the new pit complex at their right; the modern paddock is placed around the river, making use of it as the track landmark, with a new walk around it. Drivers head on full throttle through a fast right hander before the first "real" corner, which is a recreation of La Source. Then full on again to the new version of the Eau Rouge corner, making use of the latest technology to make elevation changes possible. Drivers will head in an down very fast left over the river before heading into a very fast right-left-right corner uphill, these corners are actually a bit tighter than the old La Rouge to compensate the downforce of modern F1 cars, yet still very fast; a modern F1 car should pass here at more than 260 kph! The next section should be familar to drivers as well; it uses an old path through the forest to an incredibly fast straight ending in a very similar chicane to Les Combes, only mirrored. This is the end of sector one. Sector two could be best described as a "modern" F1 sector; it starts after the New Les Combes chicane and takes the drivers through a full throttle right-left before another hairpin, a series of fast and medium corners take back the drivers through the forest to the river area, then the track follows the natural course of the river up to Pont de Cheneux, where the track gets another signature corner at the start of Sector three: a 270º parabolica style semi-banked corner which resembles of that seen in older F1 tracks and will take the cars to high speeds before heading in the longest straight of the track, which is almost 1.5 kms long! Before ending the lap, we pay tribute once again to the disused Spa track with a recreation of the old Bus-Stop chicane before taking the drivers back into another exciting lap.

Oh! And another important feature; it still can rain at the pit straight and be dry at the other end of the track!

Here's my entry.

I wanted to try and keep the tradition of Spa being quite high-speed with fast, sweeping, challenging corners. The start-finish line would be around the 3km marker on the A27, with the opposite carriageway used as the pit lane. The track would run anti-clockwise, thus running in the same direction as the cars would have done on the original Spa layout. Plus this means that the cars will tear down the Autoroute the wrong way! About time we taught the continentals which side of the road is the right one!

In my mind, the motorway was good place where pit lane can be built. Through the ramp and some S curves it's time to take old circuit. After a bit less than kilometre on the old circuit, a fast and long right-hander towards current circuit. Some minor sweeping curves on the road to avoid existing houses. Right, left, right and return to the old circuit. The long right-hander is used almost completely before left and right corners send drivers back to the start/finish straight.

Here's my take on this competition: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5673709

As for most tracks, the start-finish line is on the motorway for practicality reasons. And for the fact that the sheer sight of F1 cars going down such a steep climb as that exit ramp would be awesome. Anyway, the drivers exit the motorway and merge onto the racing track the 'wrong way' around. Just before starting the former Burnenville corner, the cars turn into Burnenville village itself, starting a fun hillclimb, which ends with a fast right turn onto the first purpose-built part of the circuit, which joins the Chemin des Myrtilles, crossing the old circuit in the process. After a sharp right-hander, the cricuit enters another purpose-built section, fast but twisty, before re-entering the motorway on the sweeping start-finish straight once more.

EDITED 3. Getting better I hope. Circuit Burteaumont.

here is my 1st entry (might be a bit to long )
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com?r=5673915
if the first one is to long then the 2nd one will be the submitted one
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5673255
burneville is actually one of the last corners on this fast twisty circuit with 175m elevation change

The first is too long by 20 metres, so that's good for you, since that first one was quite shite

Thought so because I had to cut about 400 or so metres out of it so I shall submit the second one

My shot at it:
A circuit made of some existing roads but also new parts has to be build to get some new fluent corners.
One farmer (in the left underside) gets a tunnel to drive in and out his place since he's fully surrounded by the track

The start and finishline right before the mirrorized Les Combes (in this version also the first corner).

Here is my entry: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5675102

The circuit includes the Masta Kink and the old Stavelot corner, then connects to another public road with two very slow corners, followed by a faster one and a long straight to Rivage. The following section of the track consists of medium speed corners and a small straight, before the track leaves the public road with a corner resembling Pouhon. Another two fast corners follow before the track rejoins the old Spa Crcuit. The start/finish line and the pits are located between Masta Kink and Stavelot.

Less than 2 metres under the track limit... now THAT is cutting it fine

Here's my entry.

The circuit begins on a new purpose-built pit complex with a quite steeply uphill start-finish straight, which should make the start a bit tricky. The first section is an uphill series of S-bends, before the track opens out and a right-hander takes the cars onto the old track. Now we come into a long high-speed section which takes in the Burnenville corner. Turn 9 is a fast right-hander with a tricky curved braking zone, before another straight takes us into a slow-speed chicane. Then there's a longer straight which leads into the best overtaking opportunity on the circuit, the right hand hairpin at Turn 13, which leads back onto the purpose-built section of the track. A series of long sweeping corners takes us back onto the start-finish straight. Total track length is 6.24km.

Wasn't the deadline for this yesterday or something

It's not observed religiously.

I hope nobody minds that I took the freedom posting this. The voting deadline is TBD (by someone).

I did actually like your entry. I imagine that driving one lap of it would be like have a fist repeatedly pounded into your stomach because of the nature of the long, fast corners that you have used almost exclusively.

Thanks for putting this up,Benetton.I'll set the deadline to Saturday,so that school doesn't get in my way.

Patience, I'm sure WaffleCat's got more pressing matters in RL. He'll sort the scores when it's convenient for him...

Exams really are a female dog,aren't they?Anyway,found a gap in my exam schedule and I'm using it right now to post up results of the Nouvelle Spa competition about...a week and three days late.

Forgotten Men: pi314159 and AndreaModa got about as many votes as times Life got out of pre-qualifying.

Bleu will set the theme for the next track.

Rules are:
- Must be located in Europe. Eastern borders as follows: Nenetsia, Komi, Perm, Chelyabinsk and Orenburg areas are eligible, as well as everything to the west of that in Russia. Rest of the border goes with Russian borders with Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Georgia. Turkey is divided with Bosphorus Strait, Sea of Marmara and Dardanelles.
- Maximum circuit length is 10 kilometres, no minimum length
- New roads may be built but any new part must be straight line between two existing roads
And then the most challenging part:
- Startline of the circuit must be located in 1000+ metres of altitude. The lowest point of the circuit may be lower than that.

Deadline 72 hours from this message.

Rejectfulness galore at the Andorran Grand Prix.

I believe that the starting marker is just above 1000m ASL as it winds it's way through the streets of the capital

GP of St. Moritz, Switzerland. A fast, 9.2 km circuit in the Alps.

Sorry, but this is not inside the rules, the new road (from 4,4 to 7 km) is not straight line.
