Hi,
I was just watching the nurburgring 24h and auditv was filming the public at the sideboard (or bench, i used some internet translations so...) and started thinking how can race tracks be buit to improve spectator view.
Well if i was a spectator down at the event i would like to see the maximum lenght of track to instead of just a corner.
Well lets figure out why presencial spetactors cant visualize the whole track. I found out 3 causes:
1. There are buidings at the vision range that don't allow to see some track.
2. The track follows up at a higher ground than the one where the spectaters are.
3. The track is to big, and we cant see part of the track (1) , although is highly improbable due to further explanation.
So we just need to buid a track that minimizes those factores:
1. The inside circuits space should be clear of buildinds at all, with one exception. The boxes should be buit underground but with no roof (only roof above the garages to protect sun and rain). So it will seem that the pit straight was in some kind of wole, but it will still be "outside". Any administrative buiding should be buit ouside the circuit or underground if inseide the circuit. The only exception that i have referred is a tower in the middle of the track, similar to the ones in the airports (with a head shape at the top), to the supervisors work (and other HR that need to see the whole track). The rest of the HR will work underground). This should clear the inside space of buidings.
2. The terrain should be modified if dont meet the requirements. The whole track must be below the ground height of the public spots. Besides the public spots, the sideboard/benchs, should be built some meters above ground height. This will increase eye lenght range. To clarify: the track being in some kind of whole, doesnt meen it has to be flat. On the contrary it can have visible height variations (where there aren't buidings underground, off course)
3. One solutions was to put people directly above the track with a glass floor, but that is very costy and possibly not safe. I think public spots should be placed outside the track, and in points were its possible to draw a tangent line to the circuit line (like in a circle). This will eliminate dead spots (spots where the spectator building will not respect the point 1; example: on the outside line of a tight right curve on a Clockwise circuit). This way we could increase our view lenght range a lot a possible view all circuit, even in big tracks.
Gains: It will have a direct impact on specators even those at home. It will make the sport very well known worldwide and it will gain more fans, because we will be able to communicate the whole show to the public, and then let them chose what they want to watch. It is like a sense of freedoom, to to be attached to a part of the track, or to one camera that is not showing what we want (well this is not directly related, but will suffer some improvements too).
Note: This is just some tips to circuit races and exclude, the rural tracks (monaco, la sarthe...), "museum tracks" (Nordschleife...) and many more. Mostly new tracks should implement this.
Costs: Maybe they are a bit mory costy. Well there are some cases where money isn't a problem (i am not referring to any track particularly
) so its still possible.
Well, i am a bit high, so i don't know if this is really stupid or really cool.
It's just when i am stoned i am like 💡💡💡💡💡💡
And when go back to normal it happens this:
