Design an F1 track competition-New LONG round up!

waggles · May 9, 2009

I have no idea where to put this, so I put it here. Feel free to move where required.

Basically, design an F1 track. You also need to define track length (show the length of the straight on the map too), and therefore number of laps under the 305km rule.

I will make this a full-blown competition, where we vote on favourite tracks.

First round has no restrictions-next few rounds might have a couple of lines to start with.

Go!

And what are we supposed to use to design a track?

MS Paint baby, my entry coming soon:tup:

Tired Tyres · May 9, 2009

What's needed is identical scale plans of all the real tracks so those of us that can't draw on a PC can show our track plans.

MS Paint baby, my entry coming soon:tup:

Sweet! I might as well submit something here, since the only thing I really am skilled at with MS Paint is the good old line drawing...of circuits themselves.

👍

Sounds fun, I have tons of ideas for this, so I might enter.

zed300 · May 9, 2009

Awesome Waggles:tup: I've been doodling race tracks for years, I will post one soon.

Boffin · May 9, 2009

Yay I made history. this track has alot of ups and downs.

In Hindsight, it is a bit long....but I'd drive it in an F1 anyways

I can't see this being more than a 40-45 lap race, although I don't have the exact measurements of the track.

prisonermonkeys · May 9, 2009

Anyone know a decent program I can use online? All I have is MS Paint, and the only think I can use is the pad on my laptop becase my mouse has gone UA.

PeterJB · May 9, 2009

Here's mine.

Corners probably wouldn't be quite as jagged in real life.

C-ZETA · May 9, 2009

Here's mine, I personally think that it looks a bit short given the scale, but the corners don't seem half bad.

Also, is it possible to enter more than one circuit?

Gabkicks · May 9, 2009

You guys could use bob's track builder or something to make the tracks. it shouldn't be toooo hard just to do the roads and maybe some runoff.

It's a rather whopping 6.8 km long, so only 45 laps. Unfortunately, the circuit lies atleast 35 million miles from the nearest circuit, and it would take atleast 2 years to get there (and another two to get back)... however, Bernie's expansion plans know no bounds, so you never know...

Update: GTP Ring v1.0

Length: 4.2 km; 72 lap race

Appie · May 9, 2009

That track looks a lot like Magny Cours!!

Touring Mars · May 9, 2009

About 1/5th of it is

Peter · May 9, 2009

What did you make that with? Photoshop?

Touring Mars · May 9, 2009

Yeh, with a little help from Google Earth (and Google Mars!)...

Sureboss · May 9, 2009

Mars ring? Isn't that a Scottish deep fried delicacy?

(And by delicacy, I mean 3 weeks of constipation)

waggles · May 10, 2009

Sure, enter as many tracks as you like, to get the competition rolling

.

DaddyVDUB · May 10, 2009

Great ideal, I'm gonna work on my entry. :dopey:

waggles · May 10, 2009

I've just had an idea for a later competition-design a track based on an area of road in Google Maps?

Is that interesting?

DaddyVDUB · May 10, 2009

Stevisiov · May 10, 2009

Hyperbolic Paraboloid Ring (spelt wrong in my image) is my entry. The 2d plane on which it is drawn doesn't do the elevation changes justice.

Its probably just what Bernie is looking for.

senamic · May 10, 2009

Okay then, here is the image for Bernie and Max:

And the simplified map:

The track is quite long, about 7km. Hope you like it!

Boffin · May 10, 2009

yeah, I can see it being quite a good track 👍

senamic · May 10, 2009

Really? I just wacked that up in about 10 minutes, with the focus being on realism. But with 16 corners...

Stevisiov · May 10, 2009

Very bahrian, but I like the look of it. 👍

senamic · May 10, 2009

Looking back at it, it is a bit Bahrain. A bit Catalunya as well, with elements of various other tracks. Dunno just made some lines and joined them with corners! Now I know how Tilke works!

Im more curious about how you propose to run an internal combustion engine in the Martian atmosphere.

senamic · May 10, 2009

Where there is Bernie & Max getting interested in a prospect, the teams will have to find a way!
