Right firstly I know this thread is either going to be awesome or a total failure so I've kind of held off posting it for a while. Also posting it last week pre Canada would have seemed silly :p

OK that out of the way here's my thinking:

  • Valencia is crap
  • No one likes the majority of Tilke-dromes
  • Surely we can do better?

So there you go - for a bit of fun how about we design tracks for F1 that are better than some of the rubbish we have now? :D I keep doodling tracks at work but then lose them before I get home....

You can be as fancy or simple as you like - use paint and just draw a line, use something a bit more clever and make a 3d mock up if you want!

Also you can design it around an existing city/location or make it from the ground up - your choice!

Here's a badly hand drawn paint example to start:

Yeah that was pretty rubbish but hey it's late alright?
 
A drawing is all well and good, but it does not show what makes a track good. IMHO, elevation changes is what makes a good track, and this can't be shown in this type of drawing.

I bet that if you took a track like Abu Dhabi or Hungary and gave it the elevation changes of Spa, it would probably improve it considerably.

My drawing skills are terrible, but I will see if I can come up with something.

So draw it in '3D' in paint :D Mega skills if you can :D
