I mentioned earlier in the thread that the deadline is on 31st May,noon.

I also thought there was mention of bringing the deadline forward...

I know,but I have to go on a school trip from the 27th to the 30th,which delays the deadline.I think there is Wi-fi at the hotel I'm staying at,but I only have my iPad along,and it is too inconvenient to try and decide what time to post the deadline.

Fair enough. Can't argue with that.

Fairly mediocre track for a fairly mediocre airport.

Newark Airport, New Jersey.

That looks like an interesting track, maybe a mix between Longford and Ain-Diab...

Anyways, we're currently having a competition to see who can make the best airport track using runways, taxiways and perimetre roads. Care to join in?

Waris · Post by **Waris** » 25 May 2012, 15:39

I like this idea of a contest! The winning track should be made for a game like rFactor by someone who is skilled at doing such things.

Not related to the contest, there absolutely needs to be a street circuit in Ashgabad, the capital of Turkmenistan. That city is full of crazy mechanic monuments built by the crazy dictator who created this personality around him that more or less became the state ideology. One of them is in the form of a book whose pages open automatically. Check it out!

Book monument
12 metre tall statue of the Great Dictator

I must admit I am very tempted to steal your idea and go to the ITR headquarters and propose it as a possible DTM race.

Be my guest. I originally envisioned it as something the Group 5 and 6 cars of the 1980s could race on.

I think all your tracks are boring. It might produce good racing, but they're all the same. That's why i put as many chicanes in mine as possible!

Captain Hammer · Post by **Captain Hammer** » 27 May 2012, 06:35

Chicanes are boring. Chicanes are bad. Call me old-fashioned, but I like circuits with a little bit of flow to them.

Hmmm. East Midlands Airport is probably the most rejectful layout it's possible to design a circuit round. So I've cheated and cut across to a short public road to make an interesting circuit, rather than the AVUS clone it'd have been otherwise. Considering Donington Park is only a stone's throw away, and nobody in their right mind would not race there instead, this has "reject gold" written all over it.

Et voilà.
