David AGS made a joke about a Grand Prix in Malta on the "Shortest F1 Books" thread, so I figured I'd make this.

Not intentionally, though I can see what the "Pinnochio Grand Prix" is all about now that I look at it again, as well as either a Vettel Finger or The Other Finger From HRT To The Anti-Fans... it was more of an attempt to get something interesting out of EMA's runways that don't cross each other in an A-shape the way quite a few others do. Of course, it has two very long straights that are excellent for a good thrash down, particularly in a chavved-up Saxo that would usually be seen racing round the edge of Broadmash car park and down Castle Boulevard. Wickid, innit!

F1 Rejects Track Designing Competition

And the votes are tallied in and the deadline is here,so lets see the results...

Best Track Award
1.Captain Hammer-26 points
2.AndreaModa-24 points
3.JeremyMcClean-8 points
4.BaconLettuceNinja-6 points
=.Dr-baker-6 points
=.TheMaskedLapwing-6 points
7.Ferrarist-4 points
=.Davidedallas-4 points

A close battle at the top between Captain Hammer and AndreaModa,with the Schoenfield just taking the win over the cheeky entry of AndreaModa's at Heathrow Airport

Most Rejectful Track
1.This-36 points
2.Ferrarist-16 points
3.Dinizintheoven-8 points
=.Ugncreativeusergname-8 points
=.TheMaskedLapwing-8 pints
6.Tristian1117-6 points
=.Davidedallas-6 points
8.Dr-Baker-4 points

And its a runaway victory for This,who sweeps 6 number one votes for his track.And there is no love for Airport ovals as Ferrarist comes next.

Other Awards:

The Lone Rangers:(People who weren't voted in either category)Wizzie,tommykl and nome66
The Random Pick:(To the voter who,IMO,gave the most far-out picks of the lot)Ferrarist

This will move to a thread in the Perry McCarthy forum tomorrow.As for now,Captain Hammer gets to think of what theme he will choose for the next track.

Your design was pretty good,I admit,but unfortunately,wasn't really enough to attract the F1 rejects public.Better luck next time.

Following rumours that Formula 1 could return to Long Beach in 2015 (the old promoter has been spotted in the Montreal paddock), here are a few suggestions for extending the circuit:

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5503762

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5503769

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5503773

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5503779

That last one isn't exactly realistic, though.

This may well be my very best circuit - but unfortauntely, it's too long. You would have to cut about two kilometres out of it to make it viable:

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5504044

On the other hand, though, it's pretty obvious where those two kilometres could be trimmed out.

Which was actually far easier than I thought it would be.

And an alternative proposal, using my extension plus the final sector of the existing circuit:

No, I didn't go for Ricardo Tormo - because the circuit is boring. There's a reason why it is frequently used for pre-season testing: like Catalunya before it, it is very, very neutral in terms of setup, so it is a good place to come to grips with a new car.

Anyone aware of the brilliant Coventry Ring Road? It would make a fantastic race track, completely free of at-grade intersections except a single roundabout, the rest is free-flowing with the junctions either above or below the road. Therefore I propose the Godiva 500, a 500 mile race named after Lady Godiva the one of the city's most famous icons.

Here is the route: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5529305

And for those unfamiliar with the road itself, here is a 3 minute video showing it in its entirety, starting at the roundabout in the top right in the route map above: http://www.cbrd.co.uk/video/coventryringway.shtml Select the anti-clockwise one, and that's the way I'd envisage the track to run, with the removal of the central barrier so all 4 lanes could be used.

A few ideas in London, based on Bernie Ecclestone's comments that he would happily fund a race around the landmarks:

I quite like these, actually.
