As Bernie likes circuits around harbours, what about this one?

Two level crossings on that circuit. I think the only 'circuit' to cross railway lines was the Oporto track used for the first few Portguese Grands Prix in the late 1950s, but I could be wrong...


There's also the ChampCar Grand Prix of San Jose which had two level crossings over the course of the lap. From what I've seen, the first one looked especially violent to drive over

My friend's USB drive spoiled, spilled tea on her laptop and had a bird poo in her hand.

What did she do in her past life to deserve this?

Seeing that a lot of British tracks are using the service roads surrounding the runways. I tried to do that in Belgium, but the only airport I could think of that had multiple runways crossing each other was Zaventem, which is the international airport. Which meant that the circuit would be atrociously long. But I did it anyway: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5746700

It's as long as the Nürburgring Nordschleife with a 3km-long straight on the main runway with some nice flowing corners on the surrounding roads.

The only commercial airport! As you obviously forgot about my tilke-esque koksijde military airport track :lol: Also Brustem (Sint Truiden) looks useful, here's one for that http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5747072 There's additional possibilities in using the remains of the third runway.

This is actually partially true, when i went to see the Historic races, some drivers used that road as a test-track.

As airports are a popular theme here, i give you: Spa Airport

Seychellois Street Drag Strip

Edit so I don't double-post: It's late 2014. The Nürburgring has announced that due to financial reasons, it won't be able to hold the 2015 German Grand Prix. The FIA look to the Hockenheimring, but get the same answer. And so after a 2015 entailing no German GP and both tracks' demise, a new street circuit with pits built during that year right up close to the Nordschleife gets the race for 2016: the Meuspathring.

The Belgian Pescara looks like the old spa but without the Burwenville corner and the track going into the village itself.

Here's an idea for a street circuit in Washington D.C.: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5906471

The pits are on Constitution Avenue and there are long straights, three of which are a kilometer long.

Say hello to the Pennsylvanian Nurburgring and Pescara combined! http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5906505

The highway may be way too fast and drivers might be like :o

A rejectful modification of Bahrain: http://gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5906512

Probably too short and too fast for F1 standards.

One last one, a modification of COTA! http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5906523
