I believe this layout would be viable. It would be a very interesting "8" circuit to drive. I believe the circuit could be 9,700 meters long.
The crossing can be done like this. In the original sense.
Transition from Sea to Gardens.
The left hand transition from the main straight at Seaside to the first corner at Gardens maintains the same ground level until entering the second loop. Visually, it could have fences on the edges of the Seaside-Gardens transition line, like Suzuka and Watkins Glen. The first corner would be taken at high speed, without downshifting. The second corner, the big corner of the Jardins circuit, could have a drainage area, as the cars would reach it at great speed.
Transition from the Gardens to the Coast:
That would be more interesting from a geographic point of view.
Upon entering the Gardens-Seaside transition line, after twenty meters there would be a slope to be able to pass through the tunnel under the first transition line. Then an ascending corkscrew would be combined to return to Seaside.
Both in the original sense and in the reverse sense, we would now have two corkscrews. The first would be corkscrews on the way down, and the second would be two corkscrews on the way up. This would allow overtaking of X.
Finally, another alternative layout could be adopted for the Seaside-Gardens. At the Gardens chicane, there could be a direct link between turn two and turn four. At Gardens Harpin, a bend would be extended to directly join the mainline. This would provide two circuits of Seaside Gardens. In addition to this first one, this second one here. There would also be an alternative, faster version of the Seaside and Gardens combo.
I think this layout could be 8,000 meters long.
