I think Sochi is a good candidate for this.

Planning to see what makes it good, so that I can apply it to longer track I'm making.

In games with the circuit I find racing on it great besides sector 3 really.

I think it’s between Daytona and Indy but it’s hard to decide.

For me:

Dangerous Pit Lane Entry:
- Red Bull Ring (Austria)

Drivers warned not to slow between final two corners – RaceFans

- Mexico
Pit lane entry is somewhat short and abrupt

Dangerous Pit Lane Exit:
- Paul Ricard (France)

Improvements made:
- Circuit Catalunya Barcelona (Spain)
= the removal of the chicane was indeed a step in the right direction

Road Atlanta is such a great track, and some of my favorite esses. It works so well for so many different cars. Not a bad corner anywhere, it's almost perfect! So why not discuss our favorites instead of circlejerking ones people hate?

i can’t seem to find an answer when i googled it

There are so many alternate routes, but I've never heard or seen any series that uses them. Are they just there for looks, or do they serve a purpose?

Honestly, it's absolutely dreadful. I feel this circuit doesn't have any redeeming feature.

The first quick bend may be interesting and cool to drive, but the fact that you need to brake for the following esses right after it kinda spoils it,

then an unremarkable esses which is essentially tiptoing between track limits,

three (3) repeated hairpins all with an irregular shape which instead of making them interesting, makes you feel they drag on and on and on as you finally wait for that faraway late apex

one single-line chicane with an absurdly late apex again, which replaced the only interesting quick kink in the original layout

a pointless right-left esses in the back of the main grandstands, where the acres of asphalt runoff makes you feel you're in a supermarket parking,

one absolutely dreadful double right to end the lap, jumping between kerbs which make no sense for your line because they belong to other layouts

Is this a contender for one of the worst high profile tracks in the world?

Idea is to massively reduce number of slow corners and make it quick with intention to change it's reputation of "Monaco with grass".

This variation even had a 1.95 km flat-out section and it is almost same as Las Vegas/Spa Francorchamps/Baku one in terms of length.

From racing perspective number of laps changed to 83 which is 307.100 km race distance. This mean to there is more chance of passing in T1 and T2. And possibly T5 because it had different approach and widened a lot.

I use F1c Test Facility to perfect the layout, 1st variation had 2.3 km flat-out section which force me to slow down 1st corner in Esses. Last corner had SAFER fence on outside.

The humble turn defines a racetrack's personality. Whether it's a hairpin, sweeper, or chicane, they're all here and there for a reason (I hope!). Some corners are loved, others are hated. Some are overrated, and some, are underrated. Now the question is - which turns deserve the spotlight?

For me: I think the bus stop chicane is incredibly underused/underrated, specifically talking about the old Spa-Francorchamps last chicane kind of thing (See image 2). Heavy braking zone, equal/more shallow switch-back (Which I think is pretty good for racing), then a super-quick left-right/right-left flick to finish it off. I basically include one in every one of the tracks I design nowadays! But this isn't about me - what's your underrated corner and why should it be more used?

I get why the made the other changes in 2010 with the infield and I don’t want it get into that now.

But why did they change the profile of club corner?

I feel like the older profile was much better for racing. It was wider, would allow cars to run side by side through there and allowed drivers to use different lines through the corner (run wide and carry the speed vs cut it tight and shorten the distance)

I don’t think it would affect the pit lane and buildings as it is far enough away. I can’t see how the older layout is anymore dangerous for cars or bikes as it doesn‘t have that much higher exist speed.

Any ideas for the reason of this change?

A constant radius turn but the entry or exit is not at a tangent to the curve. I think it has the count as 2 because they are treated separately and need to be dealt with as 2 parts. (the overhanging part to the left is there to just show where the turn would und up if not interrupted by the new line.

I would love to see and Olympic competition of Motorsport, even if it isn’t possible, but anyways, if they’re were included, were would Rally/Karting/GT or even Formulas would race?

is it good?

Feels a little bit too messy to me. I can see it be used twice for our local low CC motorcycle racing, malaysian cub prix.

Cross posting my own post my bad

I was searching for places to doodle a racetrack on when I decided to try out Atlantic City. I found this former airport and while I was looking at I noticed, curbs? Black and white curbs in a weird outcrop from the tarmac that looked suspiciously like a chicane. I ended up finding more white outlines and curbs, along with a possible pit lane too. Am I tripping? Or did I spot the last remains of a former airfield circuit. The curbs are outlined in yellow.

(Second image is a closeup of the chicane)

Edit: I found out the track is a rally cross track for global rally cross so case closed.

This would obviously be an amazing spectacle in qualifying but do you think it would be better for racing? When watching the Grand Prix this weekend I noticed some drivers were gaining on the car in front between 130R and the chicane, and then not quite being close enough to complete the move so it got me thinking, if there was no chicane they could carry the overspeed going onto the main straight and make a pass into T1. I would also like to get your opinions on how it would effect pre-2026 F1 racing, also pre-DRS F1 racing and also other forms of racing such as GTs and prototypes. This is a hypothetical situation so safety is not a concern in this.

I just noticed that Goodwood Circuit doesn't have Light Signal Board (?)

Imho, I think it would be great to install them............as it improves safety and gives drivers more warning if there are track incidents and such
