Nice one. I spent 6 months in Toronto earlier this year (and as a matter of fact, spent three of those months living and working ten seconds walk (on Chestnut and Dundas)from part of your track) and I hope to emigrate there.

The track is good, although the track officials will have to kick out the homeless who regularly sleep on University Avenue.

I've tried and had a go at some extensions of the London course from GT5 by making an 'east' section based on the other side of the London course then combining the two afterwards to make a full circuit. Just for clarification, I've remade the London circuit from GT5 right here.

Variations like this would probably give London a lot of improvement in GT5. Right now it isn't popular at all really. :indiff:

I like London, it just needs a pit stop. ;) I also tried reworking your track to use even more of the London track we all ready have.

2: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5209020 This one sits at 5.4 KM (3.4 miles)
 
Two things for you, now:

A track made with MotoGP in mind. Not sure what direction it goes in.

A track that has shades of Adelaide to it, especially the end complex. Maybe better in reverse, not sure.
 
Here's one I whipped up to test some new tools:

Gray = Pit Stop
White = Actual Course
Black = Track Boundaries
Pale Yellow = Sand
Green = Grass

Sorry for the image area. I thought 1200X700 was enough :p

I do admit, that does look like plenty of fun to drive. As I say that, it wouldn't be fun to watch a race there... Seems a bit too tough to pass over most of it, and it's rather twisty for F1. But it's better than what I can do, so props to that 👍

I'd just suggest making it seem a little shorter, less turns would help.

Looks nice, the only thing is that the tight left-hander at the bottom left corner of the track leads into a tunnel under what would be the following section on your track. F1 used that stretch when it raced in Detroit.

Another rally! This one is set in Denver:

Day I - 150.70km
Stage 1/5 - Black Hawk (31.19km)
Stage 2/6 - Echo Lake (10.66km)
Stage 3/7 - Squaw Pass (11.80km)
Stage 4/8 - Windy Saddle (21.70km)

Day II - 162.66km
Stage 9/13 - Carriage Hills (11.05km)
Stage 10/14 - Bald Mountain (22.84km)
Stage 11/15 - Switzerland Trail (27.29km)
Stage 12/16 - Sugarloaf (20.15km)

Day III - 119.92km
Stage 17/21 - Dakota Hill (21.17km)
Stage 18/22 - Berthoud Falls (26.18km)
Stage 19/23 - Winter Park (14.72km)
Stage 20/24 - Epworth Lakes (18.93km)
Stage 25 (power stage) - King Flats (10.28km)

Total competitive distance - 433.28km

Okay, so it's not perfect. I don't live in Denver, so I don't know the roads. And access to some of them might be a little difficult. But I think it would make for a fantastic high-speed gravel and low-speed tarmac event, and if it were run at the right time of the year, some of the higher-altitude stages could be run in snowy conditions.

Obviously I drew it outside of the computer. And I don't feel like tracing it :p

For me, it looks pretty fun. That layout has been in my head for hours.

Brief Description For Each Sector
Straightaway
A ~1.0 mile straight.

Junior
Think of it as La Source on Spa, only a bit smaller and has a kink at the end.

Escalade
A long oval that looks like you can flat-out, but risk going into the sand a split second later. Risky overtake spot.

Building Blocks
Similar to Junior, but wider. Then ends at a chicane that is opposite of the Corkscrew on Laguna.

Hook's Edge
A sudden elevation spike downward into Traverse sectors. Very easy to fall off into the overshoot zone.

Traverse I & II
Long Esses.

Final Points
A great way to end the track: A Monaco-like road width, enclosed off by a a yard of vertical walls. Easy to flat-out, but can be quite frightening to do so.​
