It's bloody amazing for almost everyone. In most of my attempts, I was probably the most anonymous designer, with some flashes of awesomeness and some not.

One could say what I do in the F1 Rejects Track Design Competition is just like Giedo van der Garde's driving.

Well,as mentioned in one of my posts earlier on, Jutti's track will appear in the next season of the F1RSTC,which should appear in November calendar-wise, and around June by FRWRS calendar standards.

I'm not gonna lie,though,Jutti's track was amazing. tommykl ran him quite close,though.

Challenge:

- design a Formula 1 circuit for a country that has not had one before.
- you can use an existing circuit but your design must have at least 50 % new sections
- a street circuit must be between 3,5 km and 7 km, and a permanent one between 4 km and 7 km

Opinions are a bit mixed, I'd say.

Eh, what? People are actually liking my track? That can't be right!

It's got a good combination of straights and corners: it reminds me of Adelaide for some reason. I like it.

C'mon Baker! I know you like rejects, but occasionally you mess up and get a good track once in a while

Worst track seems to be highly competitive this time. I hate to say this Baker, but your track was good, much better than my redesign of Brno! I'm the provisional leader in worst track

Wow!

Even more hotly contested, and yours truly wins, simply because of:

I believe that is watka's debut entry, so he follows in the footsteps of Warren Hughes and wins on debut Nice job!

I got one first place, therefore I think my points tally is wrong and needs to be lowered.

A first place is 6 points, Rob. Or are you joking, because that makes no sense.

I actually thought your effort was quite good and on it's own probably would have made my top 2. But destroying Brno in the process is an unforgivable sin .

Well, well, well. Still, I have previously scored a 1st= so not quite my best-ever, but it's close.

Very confused

I understand we get 2 votes for the best track and 2 votes for the worst, but does it matter what order we put them in (i.e. #1 or #2). If so, I had no idea.

Also, who's choosing the next track theme?

Yes, put them in order. First place gets six points, second gets 4.

Also, who's choosing the next track theme?

You are, since you won the competition. The winner doesn't get to participate in the competition they create, so you sit back and look at the tracks. If there is a tie for best track, you are the tiebreaker.

This help?

Alright, simple enough!

So the theme this time will be...BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER

As it says on the tin, the circuit must include at least one bridge over (or alternatively tunnel under, e.g. Blackwall Tunnel) water. Track length must be between 2.5 miles and 4.5 miles. Otherwise, anything goes!
