Ferrari raceway

Hi RWF

How's that track looking at the moment ?

I like the Monaco plan, it looks like it has the real flavour of the 1:1 tarmac !
We have a Monaco plan at MRW ( alas not built, YET ! ).
I like the squeeze sections at 'Sainte Devote' & 'Tabac', it looks to have a real street-circuit feel to it.

Nice 'Nouvelle Chicane', 'Swimming Pool' & 'Anthony Noghes' corners, as well, on that plan.

Mark should have got the tittle last year, I CRIED !, that he didn't quite make it.
Oh well, he's def. the most 'airborne' Aussie ever on 4 wheels !!!

What you doing with the Raceway at the moment ?

Cheers

Hi RWF

How yur doon bruv ?

I think that the gap between the pit-straight & pit-lane...
...should be 1/4-straight closer together, maybe.

Dunno if you can get the single-lane as a 1/4-straight ( I think you can; can't you ? )...
...looks like you gotta do a bit of cutting on the R1's in to the pits anyhow.

It would give 'the look' of the pit-wall, squeezed between the start/finish straight & pit-lane...
...which is normaly how they are.

Would also mean a bit more space for garages & car padocks, behind the pits.

Looks like a c o o l track !

BOO JAH !

Cheers.

Hi RWF

Obviously spotted that one !

I think you could have a pretty nice area for pits & garages with that design.

Let's see the ammended-design, with any small changes you've made.

" How thick's a track piece ? "
( get a freakin' RULE !!! )

Hi again RWF

You were wondering about supports earlier.

What kind of space are you designing this for ?

Obviously a basic 'L' shape.

Is the diagonal void at the top-right for a 'pop up'...
...or like where a door, or some other thing is ?

Just curious.

If it was me, I might think about moving some of the lane-changers, a tad...
...not from the basic positions they are in, but by a 1/2 straights worth, here and there.

Well actually, the one on the start/finish straight, seems a bit iffy...
...I think Mr. Flippant said that as well.

I like the curved x-overs BTW...
...we just got a few more for MRW...
...nice track section.

Cheers.

Hi RWF

Sorry...
...been on this page for about 4 hours...
...and then just posted...
...so didn't see the new plan you just put up...
...till after posting.

Looks cool...
...proper look tomorrow.

Now...
...bed-time !
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Cheers

You about mid-afternoon in Aus...
...Here...
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hi RWF

Merry Christmas !!!

What space/room/garage/whatever/etc. is the track being designed for ?

How many of the track-parts do you have all ready ?

I like the plan...
...but I think there are a few issues, as well.

Cheers.

Si.

Hi again RWF

What I mean is...
...if that space is a room...
...is that the whole-space ie. 4x3 m

I guess if it is, the door must be bottom-left.

Are there any windows ?

Description of the space would be good to hear/post.

Cheers.

Hi RWF

You tell me what's more important !...

...the chicks or the racing ?

( maybe about 50-50 ? )

I was going to have a go at drawing something for your room...
...but needed the room size EXACTLY.

I see you added where the door & window are now...
...and the room looks to be ABOUT...5 x 3.25 metres.

What is the EXACT size of the room ?...
...If you measure it accuratly; I would love to have a bash at drawing a track for your space.

I have been doing lots of UR3 designs lately...
...as we are looking for a worthy successor to the current MRW Motor Speedway circuit.

How wide the window is, and whether it is in the middle etc...
& also where the door is ( right in the corner by the looks ) would be helpful.
I assume Aussie doors are 2 1/2' wide, as most are here !

Get back to me on this RWF...
...I am a UR3 track drawing ADDICT, and it's FUN !

Cheers

Si.

The other usefull thing to know is...
...what size sheets of plywood do you get in Aus. ?
They come here, around 4ft & 5ft wide x er? I've forgotten...
...what sizes do you get there...( EXACT in Metres/Centimetres please )...
...as designing for simple quarter, half, third cuts of a whole sheet is worth considering.

G day to you.....................................................................
