Top is a proposed redesign of the Nelson Ledges Road Course, the other is more random but may be better than what Hermann Tilke can come up with for a DRS-optimized track. Both circuits are 5.5 km long.

I did this while I was bathing, using hair that falls off my cousin.

Now can anyone else draw these tracks on cleaner, proper paper with a black gel pen?

No can do, but I do have a some overcooked spaghetti that might work.

Wow...nearly thrice the turns for the ledges. Impressive, hair and all...

Why were you bathing with your cousin? :)

Reminds me of the esses at Road Atlanta.

No, it’s not that. It’s found hair, like, say, when you find a bundle of hair in circles in your bathroom. Lots of those show up in our bathroom.

It was meant to be less tighter than Road Atlanta so IndyCars and Superbikes can take ‘em all even at, say, 190 MPH, but I’m not sure if I was able to set up so that the driver who wants to overtake gets the advantage out of the rhythm section. I guess I didn’t.

What can you say about the second circuit?

I wasn’t however, able to keep the Carousel and Kink sector in. I guess the long Swingers (that’s how I call them) should suffice.

How about the second track?

Eh, too fiddly, ad needs a black background.

Kinda figured. But what an opportunity for a crude question.

I live ~20 minutes from Nelson Ledges and it crushes me that I don’t have a car to take there, there are track days at least twice a month.
