Why hasn’t Hermann Tilke thought of having something like this corner? He wants a fast, technical corner, right? Here it is, and then some.

Fact is, many of the turns at the Atlantic Ocean Road can make for some exciting corners in race tracks.

Too interesting for Tilke.

Gorgeous road, pretty nice place to catch fish or two as well.

Sochi is fast and technical right? ...Right?

Then we do our own race track. With the turns from the Atlantic Ocean Road, blackjack, hookers, wagons, Miatas, and Le Mans cars.

And construction materials and equipment. We need them.

We should also include an Eau Rouge complex, but it will be taken in reverse (original Eau Rouge complex is uphill L-R-L, Reverse Rouge complex will be downhill R-L-R), as well as a Reverse Corkscrew.

Ooh and a loop-de-loop too!

Ok, for a second there, I thought you were going to do it without the blackjack. That’s key, you know.

We should do Eau Rouge both ways. I also like some of the ideas of the original Monza with banking so that you have two sets of cars going side by side on the same piece of tarmac but different parts of the track. Also, it should be a figure eight so that you have to dodge your competitors.

OK, how about mirror Eau Rouge?

Figure 8? Like Suzuka? I think I drew a race track just like that on a piece of notepad.

Nah, at Suzuka there’s a bridge so the cars can’t collide.

Nope. I want a tunnel. A crossover tunnel. Like the tunnel at Monaco.

Good call. Tunnels make everything better. To make best use of downforce, if you can go through the tunnel upside down, there should be a bonus. For example, if you go through normally there’s a chicane, but going in Australian means you get to skip that.

Please, we’re still not ready for that shit yet.

If we’re going to take the design gigs from Tilke, we need to amp up the awesome.

You do realize that the tunnel’s not gonna be that long and if they stay on the top part they are gonna do an Aerial Orlove and die and their cars will be reduced to powder, right?

This should be a point to point race in a video-game. And in real life, of course.

I think that if the tunnel’s Monaco-length with the road surface continuing around so they do a barrel roll, it will work. Remember, we’re talking hypotheticals here. Safety is not a concern, otherwise there would be no tunnels anyway due to the reduced downforce associated with them. The only reason Monaco’s still on the F1 circuit is because Monaco.

Sounds fair, then.
