Colombia-Panama-border is the limit. I'm ok with Caribbean Sea tbh.

In which case, I present to you a Grand Prix in... Barcelona!!!

No, it's not in Spain.




It's in Venezuela.

Imagine how good this would have made this competition...

Unfortunately I can't seem to find a working link anywhere, but I shall continue searching!

If memory serves me, this was already mentioned very early in the thread.

The track in Barcelona being rejectful? Well, well, well. If only I had located it in Valencia....

Then we would start calling it the best street circuit in the world!

Now, my votes:

Awesome

1. Klon
2. FullMetalJack

Lacking in awesomeness

1. dr-baker
2. roblomas52

Best track
1. Klon (12)
2. FullMetalJack (8)
3. Ataxia (6)
4. WaffleCat (6)
5. UgncreativeUsergname (4)
6. roblomas52 (4)
A close battle, six scoring from four voters, but in the end Klon takes the win from FullMetalJack by four points.

Most rejectful track
dr-baker (22)
roblomas52 (8)
AustralianStig (6)
go_Rubens (4)
dr-baker's track, described by senior track analyst UgncreativeUsergname as "like the old Reims but lame", deservedly walks the most rejectful award.

This is the greatest comeback since Alain Prost. Thank you guys.

Round 8: Heal The World
... make it a better place. The UN has asked you to propose a track that would cross at least one border (between states that are recognised by at least 15 governments worldwide). If that cross-border track is between two nations having a history of border conflicts, that's great but not a must. These are the stipulations:
- Your track mustn't longer than 4 km and shorter than 2 km
- Your track mustn't use existing road or pavement except airport runoff

Located up a steep hill,this is the racetrack that joins Ireland together again!

All bad blood with Germany and Poland is gone with this circuit!

Algeria, SADR, and Morocco. The finish line is near the middle of the eastern straight, not at the beginning.

There's no better town for this competition than Baarle-Nassau!

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5967302

The circuit is crossing the Belgian-Dutch border 18 times.

Instead of San Marino Grand Prix run completely in Italy, why not make it between the two countries?

I hadn't realised that there was a town with so many exclaves within it - it even appears to have exclaves within exclaves...

Here's a track located in Gabon, Cameroon and Congo.

A track between Afghanistan and Pakistan

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5970601

My attempt on the borders between Greece, Bulgaria and Turkey. Probably be considered rejectful, but then, this is F1 Rejects...

It's been just about 2 days, so I think voting can begin:

My votes:

Great

1. pi314159
2. WaffleCat

Good, but not great

1. dr-baker
2. Matt121

I was hoping we'd get more votes, but here are the results....

Best
1. Jimmy46 (6)
1. pi314159 (6)
3. Bleu (4)
3. WaffleCat (4)
Klon has a tie to break.

Most rejectful
1. Matt121 (10)
2. dr-baker (6)
3. Nuppiz (4)
Matt121 wins by making the only track repulsive to both voters.

Wow, only two votes? Everyone forget about this gig? And I haven't seen Jimmy46 online since he posted his track, so if he is picked, I don't know if he knows when to give us a scenario. Or we could have let the voting last longer...

Plus, the canon series set in 2016 may be stealing everyone's attention.

Well, from an environmental standpoint both tracks have something going for them: Jimmy46 has come closer to what I imagined when drawing up this scenario, but pi314159's 18-times border crossing is too hilarious to not appreciate. In the end, therefore I am going for the better track. Since I am a very big fan of Dijon-esque tracks, Jimmy46 is ever so slightly in front. Congratulatons.

Since Jimmy46 isn't posting anything here, if pi wants to make a challenge then he's the winner instead.

It doesn't seem like pi is interested in this anymore. I knew this was going south as soon as there were only two voters in last week's competition.

I am interested. I just can't come up with an interesting new challenge. If I haven't found something until tomorrow, anyone is free to announce a new challenge.

EDIT: Here's yourt new challenge:
The alternative 1967 French Grand Prix. Your challenge is to come up with an alternative to the Bugatti Circuit.
-At least 80% of the circuit must consist of public roads.
-The circuit must have a length between 7 and 15 Kilometers.
-The circuit must have at least one straight with a length of at least 1.2 kilometers.
-The circuit must be located in France (obviously).

Right then I have an idea
Any race track
Must be between 26 and 30 km
Anything goes
Any questions please ask

I said tomorrow. Don't be that impatient. New challenge is in my post above.

Hope that this qualifies. If not, I'll come up with something else.

Technicall ok, since it doesn't violate any of the rules. But the point of this competition is to design your own track, not just change two chicanes.

Hmm, may come up with something else later then, but if I don't, then reject of the round to me!

Seeing as Bugatti Circuit has so much full throttle action, I decided to go for a massive inner-city circuit that still had plenty of high speed sections and sweeping corners.

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5981639

Most of this route may look familiar to a few of you...

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5981746

A circuit in Tours, because the pun was too good to ignore: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5981815

A circuit in Cannes! Probably a reject. Would the more than 2 km run at the bottom or the start/finish straight count even with slight kinks as straights?

OK, so I will replace my Le Mans entry with this Mickey Mouse track. Pit lane would be Avenue Robert Schuman and Avenue Paul Seramy.

EDIT: Does this count as having straights of more than 1.2 km?

Nice Grand Prix

A lot of crossovers.
