[twitcher]

Breaks all the rules, but this would be amazing!! Very oldschool

Question @Jimlaad43. When will winners be announced (daily, weekly, monthly)?

3-4 days after starting the competition.

 

[ShiftingGears]

Track within the length limit this time! 3.7 miles/ 5.9km.

Not a competition entry (it's way too long anyway lol), but while messing around in Dublin, I made a track that seems an awful lot like Le Mans. The start line should probably be at the 10km mark, with the adjacent road acting as the pitlane.

The course it links to is only ~5 km. Is it another track that you made and the new one didn't save over?

Good point. I edited in the correct link (thank god that one did save).

Here's my entry.

EDIT: I didn't look at any entries until I finished mine. I love how we all used the same little area.

 

[twitcher]

After some more staring and messing around, here is my final entry.

FINAL ENTRY:
Circuit runs clockwise
4.07 miles / 6.5 km
10 right + 6 left = 16 turns

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/m/?r=6705449&rf=1

Edit: my link seems to be broken...goes to someone else's track now. I'll try to fix it at some point today.

Edit 2: remade the track, here is the link. It turned out slightly shorter this time (by 0.08mi)

I have to admit that track layout really appeals to me

 

[twitcher]

Ahh I can't stop still going with my other one as my official entry...this is just another idea. Probably a little on the fast side for modern standards.

I'll decide a winner tonight 👍

My entry (if it meets criteria):
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/m/?r=6705449&rf=1

It is a little out of Dublin, but I thought it might be similar to Melbourne and the inner suburbs. I think there is enough room for a pit lane but I'm not sure.

 

[Jimlaad43]

@twitcher is the winner! I loved the track, decent places to overtake and a good sectionof fast corners in the middle of the lap.
You're turn to set a challenge and judge a winner!

Thank you

That was a tough location, I think we all struggled finding pits I copied someone else's pit straight, so credit to whoever that was 👍


I'm a little unprepared in terms of having a new location ready. Give me half a day and I'll have something. At this point, I'm open to any suggestions or ideas.

Remember possibilities are almost endless. You can do hillclimbs, offroad, non-city circuits (you could do it on an open space of land), ovals, and such. I'd just thought I'd help you a bit

 

[twitcher]

For the next round, I've decided we'll be looking at the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague. A GP style circuit (not necessarily F1), with a adequate room for a pit lane. 3.5 to 7 km in length. No destroying buildings, statues, etc.. Adding Tarmac and moving things like curbs, or other small infrastructure changes are ok.

Don't worry about all the streetcar tracks, for the sake of the contest, we won't worry about them however, do keep street width in mind...some of the roads in the old part of the city are extremely narrow, too narrow for a track.

 

[twitcher]

Double post, my bad

 

[Formidable]

Here's my entry:
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6707196
5.9km in length
12 right turns + 7 left turns = 19 turns
Runs clockwise
Pits on the left-hand side road of the main straight

Just did a pic just incase the link messed up. I'll remake with the link so I can confirm its in Prauge

Edit: Done and changed the track slightly cause why not.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Anti-clockwise, starting between the 4th and 5th km.

Just a note for all competitors, could you please submit your entry set on satellite view. It will make it easier for you to make a track to the correct regulations AND to judge.

 

[vetteman24]

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6707193
Clockwise
3.33 miles/3.36 kilometers
16 Turns with over 140ft in elevation gap

 

[RobbiefromBC]

An interesting design, runs counterclockwise, and the pit lane is on drivers left of start/finish

When do I pick a winner?

When do I pick a winner?

I think you should because its been a few days and entries have stalled, but thats my opinion

I was thinking the same thing, but didn't know whether or not @Jimlaad43 wanted it to be a weekly thing?

 

[GTRacer22]

I should be able to get one in within the next 5 hours, if that's okay.

 

[Formidable]

3-4 days after starting the competition.

But let GTRacer22 finish first. I hate being left out, so others shouldnt

 

[GTRacer22]

Final Entry

Prague Circuit



Runs counterclockwise, start/finish on the lower right hand straight (facing North).​

 

[Jimlaad43]

@twitcher, any time between 3 days and 7 days should be enough for you to decide. As long as you are happy with the amount of entries, choose a winner.
