Track Design Competition!

The Winner is...........@GTRacer22 Congrats
The Circuit looks very much what FE would do and having driven all around the DC area it is also the most realistic option as well.

Thanks! I'm completely surprised, I didn't think my entry would've been that good.

Description: For this week, we'll be visiting New York City! This'll be a track for touring car racing. Clockwise, counterclockwise, either works! Make sure you do have a pit lane, but it doesn't have to run alongside the track. Keep it within 2-3 miles, and on the public roads.

Location: New York City
Length: 2-3 miles
Style: Touring Car Circuit

I did my best. Runs clockwise, and the pit lane is the unnamed road that runs along the side of the park.

Also, to clarify, New York City does include all of the boroughs such as Manhattan, Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, etc.

US cities are useless for designing street circuits as they are almost exclusively 90 degree corners.

I've looked at the maps, and I did spot a few places where that isn't the case. I do understand your point, I just wanted to see how creative everyone could be. Nice track. 👍

*cough*You guys are forgetting that Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island exist too*cough*

 

[Jimlaad43]

Yeah but there's no landmarks there

Is there something wrong with that?

 

[GTRacer22]

Looked fine to me, they seemed like public roads.

My first entry in this competition so please correct me if I made a mistake.
Circuit runs counterclockwise with a pit-lane on the start/finish straight

 

[Jimlaad43]

Is there something wrong with that?

Yes, because there's no variety at all, and no proper corners.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Sacrificed landmarks for...a better course.

Wards Island Circuit

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6718737

Track runs clockwise, pits and start/finish on Central Rd.

The bottom half of the track may look disconnected, but it's not. The intersection is just split in two.

Public roads?

 

[Obelisk]

Public roads?

The road that the starting marker is on doesn't look public.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Also, it's still not in New York City.

Alright I swear, if this doesn't count...

Governors Island Touring Circuit
2.16 miles
29 turns
Clockwise
Located on Govenors Island (Very,very New York City )
Island can be accessed by ferry, so there are still public roads
Start/Finish is just a few hundred feet after the main markers

(Waits for comments saying that it's not public roads or that it's not a part of New York )

I apologize to everyone for making this so hard.... should've really thought this through beforehand. Next time will be much different. 👍
