Here's a track design game we have tried before, but a slight edit that should make it better.

gmap-pedometer is a fantastic site that allows you to trace routes on google maps, which we can use to make race tracks. Somebody needs to set a challenge, such as "Design an F1 street circuit around Chicago", and people post links to designs they've made. Whoever set the challenge can then decide a winner after a period of a few days. That winner can then set the next challenge and award a winner.

Advice on how to use gmap-pedometer.
  • Use the "Satellite" view and zoom in a lot. This allows you to properly judge how appropriate the roads are.
  • Use a combination of "automatically (for runners)" and "manual" draw styles to follow the roads.
  • Try to take stuff like space for a pitlane, a wide start line and runoff areas into account.
  • Save route as public and copy/paste the route link into the thread. A description of your track is usually helpful for the judge.
Basically, have fun and let your imagination run wild.
 
To start off, lets have an F1 street circuit designed around the Canadian capital, Ottawa. Deadline is some point on Friday afternoon. Have fun!
