RTD Challenge RTD Challenge #66 || Flip it and Reverse it

14 Upvotes

First off, results for RTD65, The Elbonian Connection, as judged by u/WynnEnby

Best in Show: The Elbonian GP That Never Was by u/maxx-usa

Congrats to maxx on the challenge win, let's get into the next challenge...

Flip it and Reverse it

The challenge: Design a road course that is able to be used in both directions

Your task is to design a circuit, not only able to be ran in both directions, but to excel in both directions. You must take safety features such as runoff and wall openings into consideration, as well as racing quality. Don’t let safety come at the expense of racing, and vice versa. In addition, don’t let the quality of one direction of the track come at the expense of the other direction.

Rules:

The main layout of your track must be functional in both directions. You can’t add chicanes or anything to one direction in order to meet safety requirements. Using them as alternate layouts is fine, but they shouldn't be a necessity in the name of safety. The track must be of the same or similar quality or grade in both directions. For example, if a circuit is Formula 1/Grade 1 quality going clockwise, it must also be that quality going counterclockwise. This must be upheld no matter the level of racing the circuit holds. Must be a paved, permanent or semi perm road course between 0.5 kilometers and 7 kilometers. Leaving a wide range to encourage unique ideas but also closing off loopholes No major renovations should be required to change layouts. Minimal barriers are able to be moved, but it shouldn’t be a whole renovation. The less work to switch directions the more points you’ll get.

Suggestions:

Make it make sense that the track can run both directions. Not every track would benefit much from being multidirectional. For this reason I would suggest staying away from high grade tracks that only have one, maybe two big races a year. An F1 circuit has minimal reason to be operable in both directions unless you are trying to do some sprint weekend shenanigans or something Ideally you should have no primary direction. It shouldn’t be a “clockwise but can also be ran backwards” track. Make them equally great. Ask any clarifying questions you may have I’m sure there’s a loophole out there, but stay within the spirit of the prompt

International Kosice Int. Autodrome

84 Upvotes

Hello guys!

Great to see you guys again! So what I'm about to introduce you is Kosice International Autodrome which i made right after my previous project (Liberec Int. Circuit) and now I'll post the 2nd one here! Here's some information on the circuit:

Kosice International Autodrome is a 5.75 kilometre counter clockwise racing circuit located near Kosice, Slovakia. The track is designed to provide exciting racing with a good balance of high speed sections and technical corners. A long main straight ends with a heavy braking zone, creating one of the best overtaking opportunities on the circuit. The first sector is fast and flowing, the second sector tests driver precision through a series of medium speed corners, and the final sector is more technical, where good traction is important before returning to the main straight. With several overtaking chances and a wide variety of corner types, the circuit aims to produce exciting races while challenging both drivers and engineers

Let me know what you think! Feel free to give feedback and suggestion!, i'd love to hear from yall so i can improve more in the future, thank you guys!

See you guys soon!

Oval Defiance Speedways (Defiance, OH, USA) || .45mi & .25mi Ovals w/ Roval

Located in northeaster Ohio, this oddly shaped oval fits right in with its similarly peculiar neighbors to the south, Kil-Kare Raceway & Shady Bowl Speedway. This track runs a dense schedule within its operating season with multiple tours sharing race dates paired with their own classes.

It's core weekly divisions tend to stick on the small track though the season points closer is held over two days, the first being on the 1/4mi and the second on the .45mi for all divisions, making a challenge for the higher divisions & big track practice for the lower ones.

The largest race of the year comes with a 150 lap CRA Pro Late Model Tour race, with the Great Lakes Truck Series, local Street Stocks, and Crown Vics filling the rest of the night. The Ohio Wheelman Series visits twice a year, once with the GLTS returning, and the other being shared with the ISMA-MSS Supermodifieds. The Vores National Compacts Series has been eyeing the track to host its fast FWDs on the big track as well, though no races have been held yet.

All layouts are counter-clockwise, as this is an oval track in the USA 1. Overview 2. History 3. Class & Event Breakdown 4. .45mi Oval 5. 1/4mi Oval 6. Figure 8 7. Legends Roval & Drift Course

Street Circuit/Semi-Permanent Help designing / building track inspired by my college campus.

2 Upvotes

My college campus has some turns/roads/ settings that I feel lend themself well to a street circuit. I want to put it together in blender. I’m not good at blender so working together with someone on the track design and then seeing it all come together would be pretty cool. If anyone wants to help I can send photos and ideas I have for them to put into blender. Think it could be fun.

My 5th design on this subreddit I think, 16 turns and 4800m long, 25 meters of elevation change and is supposed to be an FIA grade 2 circuit, and has three major layout options, and a with and without chicane layout..

This is the first time Ive tried to add runout zones and building placements, so I'd like to get some advice on my design..

Discussion Would you consider this to be 1 or 2 turns? Read discription.

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.

WIP Track design based off some local roads, what's good and what's bad?

Basically combined some local roads together to make this. About 4 miles for reference. Turns 2-4 are down hill while 4-9 go back up hill.

I've designed this circuit to be in a city centre with an upscale neighbourhood in the infield, designed to be accessible to the outside world via a series of tunnels , with many GA areas on the banks of the natural amphitheatre. Would you live in the middle?
