Had a go at my school the other day. Turn out that you get in trouble... Anywho, I think it makes a decent track. You start from the last switchback where it doubles back. The elevation change makes it, but you can't tell on the map.

After a hiatus I finally had some inspiration and free time for some new ones.

Singapore? I have a few of those saved up. This is probably my favourite:

Here's my Singapore GP fix
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://www.scribblemaps.com/getkml.aspx?id=hr3faHvzA0%26g=0563FF9
**List of Fixes**
Turn 5 is now more hairpin-like
Turns 8 and 9 are now a Right-Left quick sweeper onto Connaught Drive
Turn 10 is a right hand sweeper leading into a tight left hand Turn 11
Everything else the same

Hi.... I horribly disagree. and I'm Canadian... I know what it's like out there, in the West, because I've been there. Don't mess with that nice little island, or the... violence... Considering that it's the only place in Canada where violence even seems to take place...

well, besides that the tracks look awesome you have to admit that

The Greeks are looking to build a circuit capable of hosting Formula 1 - because responsible fiscal management is soooo 2008 - here are my proposals:

I'm actually surprised at just how well the second one came out, considering that I cut out half the corners.

And some changes to Buddh:

Feels good to be back!

^That looks almost exactly the same as one of my Eifel tracks in GT5.

Except this one has more corners and they're sharper.

 

[Falcon787B]

Some really great tracks in the offing here folks.

I see a lot of airport tracks - I assume they are at existing/open airports? Having stumbled on this link about the Ciudad Real airport in Spain which has been abandoned since April 2012, surely there is a racetrack to be had in it's confines? 💡

I'm doing some investigating on Google Maps and I'll see what I can come up with. I also had the idea of an airport racetrack with two runways running perpendicular and a custom-built banked turn at one end connecting the two, like superspeedway-high banked like the old Brooklands. Maybe using a combination of custom built parts and existing infrastructure we could create a true racing monster here? And the FIA can stay well clear of it - in fact, I want Herman Tilke to hate it. Because that'll mean I like it



Anyone know of any other good ghost towns/airports that would work for racetracks? Hell, maybe an abandoned railway station?! (imagines...thought bubble emerges) 💡

Galway Harbour Circuit

I had the idea for this track when looking at Valencia and how bland it is. The scenery around it is nice but the actual track is terrible. So I thought "How can I make a Valencia like circuit (Port side) but with out it being bland?" Galway is my answer to the question.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

That looks far too twisty, and to be honest, I'd much prefer Valencia.

Maybe you can give me the parameters you used, I'd love to drive this in GT5! Haha.
