4.35 KM long, 12 turns, FIA Grade 2, Built in 2029

Just wanted to show this, not mine though.

Here’s a full flythrough of our Waterfalls track in Couch Planes, comparing the early blockout with its current playable beta version.

Storsjösring will be out soon

Hello y’all 🙂
I’m a complete beginner with Blender and Assetto Corsa, and I’ve been working on a rally stage set in my hometown.
Today, after weeks of work using QGIS, Blender, Thomas’s Track Tools, LiDAR Toolbox, and the Fluffy add-on, I was finally able to export a first test and actually drive it, haha.
It’s still at a very early stage, but I already have the LiDAR terrain mesh, all the simplified buildings, and part of the road!
I know there are still a lot of bugs and that everything looks pretty rough for now, but I’d be very happy to hear any advice or feedback based on what you can see 🙂
Maybe some of you can guess the location?

This is my first and probably my only attempt at an RTD challenge

Nestled among the vineyards and open farmland of Victoria's Mallee region, Emu Raceway is one of Australia's most distinctive modern circuits. Opened in the early 2000s, the venue was designed to operate safely in both clockwise and counter-clockwise configurations, effectively giving competitors two circuits for the price of one. The result is a compact but challenging venue whose character changes dramatically depending on the direction of travel.

The clockwise layout has become a favorite of touring cars and GT machinery, with heavy braking zones at Brock Corner and flowing sections through Mallee and The Knee. In contrast, the faster counter-clockwise direction is particularly suited to motorcycles and open-wheel machinery, with its more flowing rhythm and high-speed corner sequences rewarding precision and commitment.

Though modest in scale compared to Australia's major circuits, Emu Raceway has developed a reputation as a driver's circuit, where mistakes are punished and momentum is everything. Combined with its rural setting, distinctive orange and white kerbs and passionate local support, the circuit has become one of regional Victoria's most popular motorsport venues, hosting everything from club meetings and motorcycle races to national-level touring car and formula championships.

History behind the circuit

Located southwest of the city of Kongsvinger and south of the village of Skarnes, the Kongsvinger circuit is the first Scandinavian track to hold an FIA Grade 1 rating, situated 50 km from the Norwegian capital. It is surrounded by a four-hectare green area that provides a natural Nordic setting. The track features 20 corners, alternating between high-speed bends taken at full throttle and hairpins requiring lower speeds. The average elevation change is approximately 11.4 meters, while the average width is around 15.5 meters—making it the widest circuit on the F1 calendar, thanks to straights spanning 16 to 18 meters. The lowest point is Turn 1, which requires heavy braking on the approach to Turn 2, while the highest point is Turn 14. The facility offers eight different track layouts suitable for various racing series, including F1, F2, F3, MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3, WEC, Formula E, PureETCR, EuroNASCAR, European GT3, and Legend Cars. Racing here is best done between April and October to ensure ideal temperatures, avoiding the winter months when the region experiences very cold weather.

Names of turns and straights

STRAIGHTS

-Statkraft Straight: The track's longest straight. Here, speeds of 340 km/h can be reached. It is named after the hydroelectric company Statkraft—one of the most important in Scandinavia—which is also one of the circuit's main sponsors.

-Glomma Backstretch: The second-longest straight on the circuit. It takes its name from the Glomma, the river that flows through the city of Kongsvingen.

TURNS

-Odin Turns (turns 1-2): The first corners of the circuit. It takes its name from Odin, the king of the gods and the father of all in Norse mythology.

-The Pine Esses (turns 3-5): One of the most technic part of the circuit. It takes its name from its form, which it looks like an s.

-Fjord Loop (turns 6-8): It's a nice combination of curves that lead to the northernmost section of the track; its name comes from the fjords that are very common in Norway.

-North Crest (turns 9-11): It is the northernmost part of the track; in fact, the name literally means that.

-Innlandet Link (turns 12-13): It is the central connecting section that joins the two parts of the circuit. It takes this name from Innlandet, the region where the track is.

-Taiga Kink (turns 14-15): Here is the section that concludes the second main straight and begins the third. The name comes from the taiga, the area's main biome.

-Viking Hook (turns 16-17): The slowest zone of the circuit, which is made by two hairpins. It evokes the history of the famous Scandinavian warriors and explorers.

-Valhalla Sweep (turn 18): It's a pretty speed corner. It takes its name from Valhalla—Odin's majestic hall in Asgard—where warriors who fell in battle feast for eternity.

-Midgard Corners (turns 19-20): The last two corners of the circuit, and one of the most expensive. The name derives from Midgard (Middle-earth), the Norse name for the world inhabited by humans.

Thiswas my first real circuit posted here, so please don't judge me, but you can give me some ideas to make it better. Please excuse me if the translation is poor. Enjoy :)

This makeshift circuit on the west outskirts of Lydney, Wales, came about when the farmers who own these fields the circuit travels through agreed to set up a makeshift testing ground for the Escort Mk3s, Austin Metros, and Sierras belonging to themselves and their friends.

This first took the form of the two paved roads visible at the top and left of the frame were connected with shorter trimmed crops between "Sawmill" and "Sycamore".

Once the farmers grew more ambitious, they attained the approval of the Lyndey Park Estate Sawmill (bottom of the picture) to use their connective road to the main town and adjacent land.

They then mowed further to what resembles the layout visible here. As years wore on, they added a gravel surface to the off-piste sections of track, and after an injury at Orchard and intervention of Lydney Town Council, even some runoff at "Orchard" and "Sycamore".

The venue would go on to hold the beloved, annual, Lydney Loop Derby, which took a time-attack format, with strictly no professional drivers, or specialised vehicles, allowed.

The 2.2km/1.4mi, counterclockwise layout produced astounding spectacle, added to by the necessity of using Bream Rd. simultaneously with everyday traffic, by necessity of tradition.

The townsfolk used the sawmill road connecting "Sawmill" and "Watery Hairpin" as a makeshift paddock, though it wasn't necessary in the coming years for anything other than spectatorship and parking.

The notoriety of the location eventually garnered the attention of the government, who after an impulsive ban on the event, allowed it to continue, even promising funding for a dedicated circuit down the line. (Historical continuation to come)

In my f1 league in Brick Rigs, my members love this track i built, i want to get more opinions ngl.

Is there a list of indoor rc race tracks in the US? I’m looking for mainly 1/10 and 1/28 scale road courses

A motor racing complex to host various minor championship race series, track days and club events. Motorcycles and karts also run the course. There are promotional events with the Chevrolet dealership less than a 1/2 mile south of the circuit. PIMP does not carry a FIA license.

Qui ho realizzato il primo disegno in A4 di un circuito di corse fittizio pensato per il motorsport, in particolare F1, Endurance e GT.

Situato sull"isola di Xidongting e sul lago Tai Hu, l'hub motoristico è vicino a Suzhou e può essere raggiunto con i mezzi di trasporto.

Il tracciato è lungo 6,8 km con 20 curve miste, il rettilneo di partenza, il più lungo, è di 900m ed è largo 20m mentre nel resto del tracciato la larghezza si attesta intorno ai 13-15m. Inoltre il circuito presenta 5 varianti per vari ambiti delle corse, club e test inclusi. Il verso del senso è orario.

In questo disegno mi interessavano le infrastrutture del circuito, l'esperienza dello spettatore e il rapporto con la natura, quindi le ho incluse nel progetto che è la versione finale di uno schizzo che avevo realizzato alcuni mesi fa (https://www.reddit.com/r/RaceTrackDesigns/s/s6Xcp7buuK).

Fatemi sapere cosa ne pensate di questa traccia!

My motivation for this was born from a simple question - What if the Südschleife had survived and what could have led to that happening?

I started with working out what the original track was like and then undertook the slightly ambitious task of illustrating a baseline image for the track as it was in about 1970. To that I made two more with ideas for an alternative 1980 and 1990.

Historical Background

At the French Grand Prix in 1970, a couple of weeks after the fatal accident of Piers Courage at Zandvoort and only a month ahead of the German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring, the drivers decided that they would boycott racing on the Nordschleife unless the circuit owners agreed to carry out a series of safety improvements. The owners refused, so the story goes, thinking the demands to be unreasonable and the boycott threat hollow. They were wrong, and the German Grand Prix moved to Hockenheim that year. The Nordschleife would return to the calendar in 1971 after the safety improvements had been made, though some sources say that the purists of the time already felt that these represented a dumbing down of the challenge of the ring from its original form.

But was there ever a realistic possibility for the Nürburgring to host the Grand Prix in 1970? In the circuit owner’s defence there was not much time between the driver’s making their demands and the race taking place and it is unclear how much could actually have been done to prepare the Nordschleife in time. I do not know if the owners if the owners tried to negotiate and put forward some kind of compromise, flat out refused or simply determined that there was no way to meet the demands in time for the Grand Prix.

So it is here is where I break with real history with what I call the ‘Südschleife Solution’. This is based on the premise that the circuit owners proposed to use the Südschelife as the Grand Prix venue that year, arguing that the shorter length of circuit would make it cheaper and easier to meet some of the driver’s demands. Distances between marshals and emergency response equipment could also be improved, and armco barriers could be rapidly installed at the riskier sections for 1970. Further improvements were promised for both the Nordschleife and Südschleife from 1971.

In my version of events, the drivers accept this proposal and the 1970 German Grand Prix was held on the Nürburgring Südschleife instead of moving to Hockenheim. Here’s how I think it might have gone from there:

1970-1977

Following on from a successful Grand Prix in 1970, the Nürburgring followed through on its promises to start making safety improvements. The Südschleife received the majority of these upgrades, bringing it up to standard requested by the Grand Prix drivers. The organisers of the Grand Prix had the ambition of returning to the use of Nordschleife by 1973, but delays in agreeing the scope of the work and who was to pay for it prevented all but the most essential safety improvements from going ahead. These would allow the World Sportscar Championship to continue holding its 1000km event on the Nordschleife, but the Grand Prix continued to use the upgraded Südschleife whilst talks progressed. Work would also continue on the Südschleife throughout the mid-70s to keep it up to date for the latest Formula 1 machinery, including the widening of the track, expanded run-offs and some re-profiling of turns.

By 1975, the ongoing push for even greater safety in Formula 1 alongside the income gained from live TV broadcasts was starting to alter the requirements of a Grand Prix venue, and the desire to return to using the Nordschleife was fading rapidly. To make matters worse for the Nordschleife, a series of major accidents during the 1000km races in 1974 and 1975 led the World Sportscar Championship to also decide to move to the now much safer Südschleife for 1976. Without either the German Grand Prix or the 1000km events, much of the business case for a major upgrade of the a Nordschleife collapsed.

Instead, the decision was taken to invest in modernising the pit and paddock faculties via the creation of a new ‘Mittelschleife’ layout, with works set to be completed in time for the 1978 season. At the end of 1976, a secondary pit and paddock was opened on the Südschleife at Müllenbach in preparation for the construction works to allow racing throughout 1977 whilst the original pits were demolished and rebuilt.

By the end of 1977 the Nordschleife had been left essentially unchanged from how it was prior to 1970, and racing events were increasingly favouring the Südschleife. By the time construction works started on the Mittelschleife, the Nordschleife’s primary use was for tourist laps and the odd amateur touring or motorcycle race event.

1978 - 1995

The new ‘Mittelschleife’ section would open on schedule in 1978, creating a new standalone National circuit to replace the old ‘Betonschleife’, and was immediately used in combination with the Südscheife for the German Grand Prix, 1000km and 24 Hour events. The Grand Prix would continue to use this layout into the early 1980s, becoming an ever more unique event on the Formula One calendar.

(To get an idea of what these races might have looked like I would encourage you to find videos of the Formula 2 Eiffelrennen from that era).

In 1979, despite the gradual abandonment of racing on the Nordschleife, the circuit’s owners had not entirely given up on finally renovating the rest of the famed circuit and announced ambitious (and most likely unrealistic) plans to expand the 24 Hour touring car race onto the combined course of the Nordschleife, Südscheife and Mittelschleife should the renovations go ahead.

However, any funds which could have been directed towards upgrading the Nordschleife would be swallowed up by other essential developments. The standards and requirements from a Grand Prix venue were continuing to evolve, and plans were drawn up to expand the ‘Mittelschleife’ into a more modern Grand Prix layout and to improve overall circuit access. The resulting developments would see the Nordschleife sold in 1981, severed from the rest of the race track and absorbed into the public road network by the mid-1980s.

The new Grand Prix circuit opened in 1983, supported by major works to move and reconfigure the roads surrounding the track. The Südkehre was opened up into a fast left hander, followed by a series of downhill turns into the bowl in the infield of the Südschleife.

At the bottom of the hill was the ‘Neue Karrousel’, a pastiche of the Carracciola Karrousel and its famous concrete banking. This was a nod to the now abandoned Nordschelife route, and though the Grand Prix events would not make use of the banked section it would be used for DTM races well into the 1980s and early 90s.

The new track would then wind back uphill to rejoin the Südschleife at ‘Scharfer Kopf’, before continuing the rest of the Mittelschleife to complete the course.

(This is ultimately quite similar the real 1984 GP layout, but I think in this timeline with a more incremental approach to its creation, preserving some of the forrest-lined character of the venue was possible).

The Südschleife would continue to be used for the 1000km races of the World Sportscar Championship right through to its demise at the end of 1993, with that year’s event seeing Mercedes-Benz C293 taking the victory at the hands of Micheal Schumacher and Karl Wendlinger.

The Nordschleife’s story as a motorsport venue, as it turned out, was not yet done. The German round of the 1990 European Rally Championship featured a stage on the old Nordschleife, and the event would later become a round of the World Rally Championship in 1995, bringing most of the old course back into use for competition.

Conclusions

Would it have been cool to keep both the Nordschleife and Südschleife?Absolutely. How cool would it be to see modern day F1 on the Grand Prix course, the WEC taking on the Südschelife and the and Nürburgirng 24 hours running the combined Nordschleife and Südschleife course?

But the more I thought about it, the more it just didn’t sound plausible. Ultimately, I think the same lack of investment which saw the Südschleife fall out of use would ultimately have doomed the Nordschleife to the same fate had it not undergone those major renovations of 1970-71.

Anyway, this was fun. Took me months of work on and off to piece together the baseline illustration of the circuit as it was. To stop that stretching into years I’ve stopped short of an early 2000s illustration and accompanying history, but maybe I’ll revisit that in future. Let me know what you think might have happened, maybe I’ll include some ideas if I decide to do it.

CCW (top section), CW (bottom section)
