I agree.

someone's been playing too many video games and bench racing too hard.

>>14125896
All of those are good apart from Catalunya.
>>14125865
I mostly agree here, although I enjoy Hockenheim and Road America. Old Silverstone is objectively better than the new layout.

Is it possible to make a track that has 179 degree turns at 200mph wothout seat belts and airbags to meet weight restrictions?

Tilke.

Fun fact: The best race tracks in the world are those that started life as closed off public road race venues and only eventually got paved over as permanent race circuits.

All those scratchbuilt race tracks look like a generator has been spitting them out following the input "include one corner of each type".

the problem with GP tracks is they are made for cars that can easily go 200mph. so unless you're in one of those it's probably a little too wide and little too spread out.

i dislike road america i think it needs a major update, but the rest are alright.

So are we going to see a resurgence of great tracks with Formula E using so many street circuits?

>>14126941
>i read this on a popular 'car guy' blog
do you have more than one good example?

I think once trees and landscaping and shit grows in around a lot of these new track they will look and feel a lot more real. imagine if cota had shit loads of oak trees and real grass it would actually be kick ass, instead it's in the middle of a fucking field of nothing.

>>14126958
It's a nice change of scenery from regular F1 tracks for sure, you just have to be careful not to race in too many grid cities full of 90 degree turns.

>>14126971
>its a nice change of scenery
nigga what. street courses are the pinnacle of garbage.

Too flat

>>14126966
They will never feel real because no one would ever build a public road like that. New Formula 1 tracks haven't naturally evolved, they've been engineered according to formulas and percentages of straights and mathematical overtaking chances.

you could just make your own track

>>14126979
When I was a poor boy in the south, we used to make race tracks out of popcorn.

>>14126977
define feels real.
can you even name more than 4 tracks that used to be public roads without googling? i doubt it.
have you even been on a track before what are you basing this feeling on

>>14125865
i always liked the top right in video games

What about this track? I like it. The only problem with it is that they added stupid barriers (thanks FIA).

>>14126995
Bugatti circuit is more fun because you don't just drive down a motorway for half the lap, it's an actual race track.

>>14126995
it's garbage....

>>14126998
But what other track can you hit 250+mph on during a race.

>>14127002
Most big speedway ovals?

>>14126995
Why thank the FIA? It was the ACO.

>>14127008
A NASCAR can't do 250 mph.

>>14127017
You said track, not car. Just take your LMP to an oval if you want to do 250.

>>14126986

Rouen
Spa
Reims

Yeah heres your reply fucker.
Also Road America is one of the best tracks in the world. And that comes from like every fucking drivers mouth that drives that track.

this looks better than 90% of tracks in this thread

>>14128282
I agree, but I do like the hairpin at the bottom of the track (always thought it was called 'Car Park' or something) because the road is squared off.
