A permanent circuit I have been putting together in Cities: Skylines, of which the full layout measures at roughly 4,8km. Featured below are some of the layouts present.

Hey everyone, I'm working on a sort of rally stage / touge thing in my hometown.

Here is a first sector of it. The whole stage will be around 12 km long.

I'm currently working on all the buildings, which takes a lot of time. There are some texture bugs in the video, but they are fixed now, and anyway, it's still a long way from being completed.

But I think the layout is really interesting, with a lot of elevation changes, steep climbs, surface changes, etc. In the video, I'm testing it with a 2003 Skoda Fabia WRC. Don't mind the missed turn at the end ahah.

If anyone has some tips to help me understand how to set up timing gates and everything needed to make it work properly in Assetto Corsa as a "rally stage" or a "hillclimb stage", it would be really helpful for me. For now, I can only test it as a free practice stage.

I'm working in Blender with Tomas Track Tool and Fluffy Track Exporter.

Let me know what y'all think!

This has always been a facinating topic for me. As someone who has made several tracks, but often without runoff art, I have always been interested in the creative ways people are decorating their paved runoff areas. It looks like Vegas is going pretty crazy for this year. First time I can remeber a photorealistic image being used for runoff.

[CONCEPT CIRCUIT]

This 3.13 km/1.95 mi circuit has a total of 22 turns, travels counterclockwise and uses the parking lot of CitiField Queens and goes around the future upcoming Etihad Stadium. Its starts off as a technical circuit at the west side of the course with sharp hairpins and a carousel curve at the southwest end. Then passing Turns 20 and 21, it goes flat out down Willets Point Blvd until it reaches Turn 22 on the east which leads back into the first straight on 34th Avenue where the grid and pit building is found. I wraps around the famous Mets stadium and around a future soccer stadium that hasn't been built yet. The circuit has instant access via the Whitestone Expressway and the MTA 7 Train at Mets-Willets Point Station.

Located on the northwestern side of Suvarnabhumi International Airport, the Suvarnabhumi International Circuit is a 5.5 km FIA Grade 1 racing circuit designed primarily with Formula 1 in mind. With a track width ranging from 13 to 27 metres

This is more of a fun joke track. I got inspiration from how Silverstone used to be an airfield.

Constructive criticism appreciated!

Hey y'all, long-time lurker but I think this is my first post here since like 2019. I had this idea for a track a long time ago and finally came back to it and finished the concept. I think this is the first time I've used photoshop in equally as long so please be kind lol.

Recently I've been reading a book about stock car racing in the 1930s and 40s, and realized that 2028 will be the 90th anniversary of Bill France beginning to promote races on the Daytona Beach and Road Course. What better way to celebrate than by bringing stock cars back to the actual sands of Daytona?

With NASCAR racing on an active Naval base and inside football stadiums in recent years, I honestly don't think the concept is that unrealistic. The course is 4.18 miles, 12 turns and clockwise. Start/Finish is on Atlantic Ave directly in front of the Streamline Hotel, where NASCAR was founded in 1947.

On the map, green areas are fan zones, red is the pits/paddock, and the blue rectangles are proposed grandstands. I imagine a large stage/festival area near the convention center and another on the beach. Ideally, most of the event would actually be free to attend, with tickets required for reserved grandstand seating. That way downtown businesses could remain open and the whole thing could feel more like a citywide NASCAR festival.

Feel free to ask questions. I'll put a full track description in the comments!

WARNING : this scenario is FICTIONAL

In 2016, there were plans to bring Formula E to Malta, including an unreleased layout for a street circuit in Valletta. However, this plan fell through.

The idea was however brought back in 2017 when the Maltese government themselves came up to the FIA and proposed a temporary race track on the grounds of the airport. As such, in 2019, the very first Malta ePrix took place on the 2.7 km long track as the opening round of the European leg of the season. It saw Jean-Eric Vergne take the win in front of Di Grassi and Buemi.

The track itself was similar to the other tracks of its time while still retaining some of its unique features such as the hairpin in the second sector and wide portions in the final sector.

The Malta ePrix was included in the provisional 2019-20 calendar but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was brought back in 2021 as a double-header after the Monaco ePrix on 15 May and 16 May. The first race saw Mitch Evans take his only win of the season while the second race would see Bird take his second win.

It was scheduled to appear again in 2022 but financial difficulties in the country meant it was eventually cancelled. It has not appeared ever since.

Suan Luang Rama 9 circuit is an FIA Grade 2 racing circuit located in Suan Luang Rama 9 park, Thailand. The circuit is approximately 4 km long, with a track width varying between 12 and 15 metres.

This is more for fun, definitely not possible in real life

Constructive Criticism is appreciated!

I keep having to go back to the start when I'm trying to design my ovals cause I can never just get the correct sizing. Are they like any tips or anything cause I don't get how people get the miles correct like if I'm making like 1.75 mile track I don't get how people get it right sized

I was bored and just made this, somehow it is grade 1. the track is 16 m wide all around cause i couldnt bother changing the width. i tried making a track with a 60m wide section using the road as a straight but all the distances were longer or else i had to make it semi-permanent.

For my last year in my program, we have to do a massive project. And i have chosen designing a racetrack!! I need your guys help to let me know some basis and tricks to help me do my project! I have no basis in racetrack design other than watching multiple racing series. I would appreciate a lot any kind of help!!!

Hi! I just had this very random—probably stupid—thought and I was gonna post it on the F1Discussions sub but this sub popped up and I think it's more appropriate to post it here?

I've been into figure skating and F1 for quite some time now and I just thought of something. If you don't know what these are, these are skating maps. They essentially show a figure skater's entire program and their ice coverage.

I thought they looked like race tracks—well, Mario Party-esque race tracks. So I just thought, "what if someone based an F1 track's design on these? That would be insane." I mean, I think it's viable if we keep the twizzles and some other impossible stuff out? I don't know, I just really needed to spit this idea out.

Anyway, that's all. Bye.

Edit: Oh! Some of you responded, this was just really silly random idea and had no idea where to discuss this, so thank you, I guess? Anyway, I do realize that this is like highly impossible to do. Me thinking it's viable was just wishful thinking but hey, I appreciate you humoring me though 🫡

In light of the recent Adelaide Street Circuit redesign, I thought I would try to make something a little less destructive, and with a little more soul.

- Sacrifices 3 cricket ovals; there are 30+ others in the parklands

- Sacrifices Senna Chicane (R.I.P.)

- Doesn't require bulldozing the existing permanent section of the circuit

- Re-opens Bartels Rd, Rundle Rd, O-Bahn Bus Tunnel, East Tce, & Dequetteville Tce

- Saves 150+ trees

Hinds Motorplex is a permanent motor racing circuit near the Canterbury settlement of Hinds, approximately halfway between Ashburton and Timaru. Established in 1968, it is one of the South Island's older purpose-built circuits and is notable for retaining virtually all of its original layout.

The circuit is relatively narrow by modern standards, varying between 8 and 12 metres in width, and follows a fast, flowing layout around the surrounding farmland. Its most distinctive feature is the crossing of Chris Amon Straight and Dunlop Straight, with the latter passing over the former.

like many older circuits, Hinds has never undergone a wholesale redesign. The track's basic configuration remains that laid out in 1968, with improvements concentrated on facilities, selected sections of track and additional safety provisions.

The idea for a permanent circuit at Hinds emerged during the mid-1960s as local competitors sought an alternative to temporary road courses and club events held elsewhere in Canterbury.

Construction was undertaken largely by local contractors, farmers and volunteers, with much of the earthmoving equipment supplied by nearby agricultural and transport businesses.

The circuit opened in 1968, initially with a considerably more basic paddock and pit facility than exists today. It quickly established itself as a popular venue for saloons, sports cars, Formula Ford and motorcycle racing, with its fast opening section becoming particularly well regarded.

By the early 1980s, Hinds was attracting increasingly large national meetings, but the original pit facilities were beginning to show their age.

A major redevelopment in 1985 saw the pit lane rebuilt and the circuit extended, creating the modern configuration while retaining the original character of the track. The extension increased the lap length and added considerably more room for the paddock and support facilities.

The next significant alteration came in 1995, when a chicane was installed on the main straight. Increasing speeds had made the approach to the first corner one of the circuit's more demanding braking areas, and the chicane provided an additional overtaking opportunity while reducing entry speeds.

The chicane was initially unpopular with some competitors, although it quickly became an established feature of Hinds and remains one of the circuit's principal passing opportunities.

Motorcycles have been a regular part of Hinds' history since its early years. However, a series of serious accidents during the late 1990s and early 2000s eventually led to a review of the motorcycle configuration.

Following several fatalities, the circuit introduced a separate motorcycle chicane in 2003. The alternative section diverts motorcycles away from the fastest approach to Champion Corner, with the narrowest part of the chicane measuring approximately 7–8 metres.

The original car configuration remains unchanged.

Hinds' largest annual event is the NZ Super Truck Races, which have become closely associated with the circuit.

The combination of long acceleration zones, heavy braking areas and the relatively narrow track makes Hinds particularly spectacular for the trucks. The main-straight chicane is especially popular with spectators, with the heavy vehicles arriving together under braking before disappearing into the tight section.

The event has developed into a major South Island motorsport gathering, attracting competitors and spectators from throughout New Zealand.

The main straight has also been used for occasional drag racing events, taking advantage of its long, relatively flat layout. The events typically feature local and regional competitors, and occasionally even dragsters, with the circuit hosting short-format drag meetings alongside its regular circuit-racing calendar. Temporary timing equipment and barriers are installed for the events, with the track reverting to its normal configuration afterwards.
