To be extremely honest I'm surprised that no one has gone for the obvious solution yet.

The pits are located on Tiger Brennan Drive, parallel to the start/finish line. The only road that would need to be built is the pit exit.

Pits would be on the Stuart Highway, parrallel to the race track and First Avenue, alongside the two-kilometre marker.

Sullivangate,this is a track designing competition,so your track idea can be moved over to the "Reject rack design" thread in the Eric van de Poele Forum.

Anyway,Here is my track:http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5564221.Start-finish is on intersection of Stuart Highway and Hidden Valley road.Pits goes from beginning of straight to the intersection after Hidden Valley Road.

Also,JeremyMcClean,BaconLettuceNinja,eurobrun and Wizzie each have to post where is their pit lane as that is part of the rules of the circuit brief.

Anybody else who wants to design a circuit on the Northern Teritorry to enter only has 4 hours-ish remaining.

My pit is in the park alongside the esplanade.

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 20 Jul 2012, 12:48

My pitlane will be a purpose-build one along Chambers Drive

Post by **Ataxia** » 20 Jul 2012, 13:13

The chicane on Rothdale Road (at the point where the two consecutive markers are) goes up to the start-finish straight. Hence, the pitlane is accessed by going straight on instead of the chicane. The exit filters out just before Boyle St.

Aerospeed · Post by **Aerospeed** » 20 Jul 2012, 13:30

My pitlane starts around the 3km marker. (The track goes counter-clockwise.)

God, I'm dumb.

Time to open the golden envelope of greatnessness to reveal the winner of the "Design a Track near Darwin or in the Desert(aka the Northern Territories competition)"

BEST track

1.Captain Hammah-26 points
2.Benetton-20 points
3.tommykl-18 points
4.WaffleCat-12 points(yay me.)
5.Wizzie-8 points.
6.UgncreativeUsergname-6 points.
=.dr-baker-6 points.
8.JeremyMcClean-4 points

Worstest Circuit
1.BaconLettuceNinja-40 points
2.TheMaskedLapwing-16 points
=.dr-baker-16 points
4.UgncreativeUsergname-14 points
5.eurobrun-8 points
6.Wizzie-6 points.

And so,Captain Hammer is your first time double winner after winning the Airfield/Airport/Place where planes take off challenge.Also,no misc awards as I am too bathplugging lazy right now,although I feel like giving a few.

On the other end of the spectrum,Bacon Lettuce Ninja undoubtebly wins the "What in bathplugging HWNSNBM's name was that?" for his track.I'm sorry,but I sincerely don't get what on earth was that track all about.Also,JeremyMcClean gets more votes than last time.Barely.

If you're going to fail, you may as well go down in flames. And in that way, it was a resounding success...

Any more votes and you'd have thought I was Hermann Tilke...

Captain Hammer · Post by **Captain Hammer** » 24 Jul 2012, 04:00

Okay, the next round!

1) The circuit must be in Africa.
2) It should be in a country that could reasonably afford a Grand Prix (so South Africa, Egypt and Morocco are probably your best choices).
3) The circuit must contain a Suzuka-style flyover.
4) The circuit should be between 5.0km and 6.5km in length.
5) You may build additional roads, but you may not destroy any existing buildings when you do so.
6) Additional roads must be kept to a minimum.

Go!

I figured that everyone would go to either North Africa or South Africa, I decided to use my extensive knowledge of Geography to find the one loophole in the rules which I could exploit: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5575697

48 laps of racing fun await the fans at the first Ethiopian Grand Prix, enter the...

Mek'ele International Street Circuit.

A track of 6.348 km length on the beautiful streets of this city in the northern part of Ethopia. After starting the race with two (nearly) 90° turns, a fluid set of corners lead to Turn 8. Turn 8 is something very special since is on a purpose-built flyover that can be removed and built up within the space of 72 hours. For races where a longer track is not needed or may be considered undesirable, the bridge and the part that follows it can be left out, turning the track into the Mek'ele National Street Circuit, a quite fast street circuit with a distinct likeness to Surfer's Paradise despite having no water in sight. Anyhow, the International Circuit now enters a vicious part which goes against the nature of the major part of the track with slow corners (a number of which are 90° turns), challenging both the driver himself and his setup skills. Dashing underneath the bridge, cars can win a lot or lose a lot in Turn 24. After the following chicane, a possible DRS zone opens up on the straight between Turns 26 and 27. Should that make overtaking too easy, the following straight leading to Turn 28 is another option. Heading into Turn 29, the cars brake one last time before going all-out to the checkered flag, Turns 30 and 31 being just de facto turns which can be taken at full throttle.

Yep,thats the "Design a street circuit(maybe) in reasonable African country with a figure-8" competition underway.Submission deadline is still on Friday as per normal.

The Ghana Grand Prix in Accra: http://i.imgbox.com/adhfeFAR.png

Circuit begins over the bridge, and goes up to the 90-degree left-hander.

The first part of the track is a test of cornering and low-speed downforce, the second part a test of speed and navigation of the fast corners.

Captain Hammer · Post by **Captain Hammer** » 24 Jul 2012, 12:08

It's too long, I'm afraid. The circuit must be between 5.0km and 6.5km. Yours is 6.23 miles, which is about 10km.

Exactly the same loophole crossed my mind! Thus, Gran Canaria:

With 2, yes TWO!, crossovers at each of the dual-carriageway intersections.

All the roads are either too major to be closed down or too minor to race on, but who cares.

This doesn't seem to be working, but I'll describe the track before making an other attempt at making it visible. It features two flyovers, both of them being bridge entries. The first part of the circuit is fast and flowing, with only long straights and quick corners. Both flyovers, actually 270 degree curves, are also included in this part. After leaving the second bridge, the circuit hits the smaller roads in the center of the city, with many 90 degree corners that will confuse the drivers and engineers before heading back onto the Ring Road and the start-finish straight.

Oh, and it's in Lagos, Nigeria.
