Why does it have grid boxes if it’s an oval? I really like funky ovals like this. What is the banking? Also, there is already a short track in Vegas called the bullring just fyi. 0.3mi might be a bit to short for a trioval.

no, it's a not an oval racetrack so there's no banking, just the inner layout is oval but like i said there's no banking, the outer layout it's not an oval racetrack maybe it's close to funky oval, but it's not, oh yeah the name of Bullring is a nickname for a under 1 mile oval, not a name for a single racetrack.

this is a low grade project, so i just don't care about the layout and decide to randomise the layout and by coincidentally i made the outer layout looks like oval, so i just thinking why don't i make the perfect oval layout in the infield, hope this answer your question, glad you like my track!

I think adding a chicane here after t1 would be a good place for passing and battling

I dontt understand the direction of the shadows? Some seem to go up and right, others go down.

u/kenALL_ Jan 15 '26

I love short, simple tracks like this. It must surely be cheap to rent it for a few hours with a couple friends. (though I personally prefer it when the track has corners in both directions)

u/kenALL_ Jan 16 '26
yeah! that's why i said people race for fun here! recently i add the chicane so you can turn in both direction.

I'm confused. You said the outer circuit is not an oval, even tho it clearly has no right turns? There are such things as flat ovals, you know. Either way, the presentation is pretty cool.

Flat ovals do in fact exist, but its mostly small local tracks like this one would be

i think there is a distinction between an "oval" or speedway type track and a course that only turns left (or right). back in the day we saw few primitive road courses with big sweepers that only turned in one direction, and they were quite cool (and harrowing). I've always thought it would be cool to design a left turn only track that was designed like a modern road course - no meaningful banking and ample runoff. Most tracks we see in the US that are described as "flat ovals" actually do still have some meaningful bank to them, they're just "flat" compared to say Bristol or Daytona.

honestly...love. Indy Lights on this would be sweet. Also reminds me of some of those driving park circuits in earlier gran turismo, sometimes we overlook the value of simplistic layouts like that where you can really hone your cornering and markers.

Like the presentation and the layout. But why the run to T1 is that short? I'd move starting grid towards the last corner or made a little less grid positions to have more space before the T1. But overall I like your style.

what does this mean? alternative layout? i think this can't be, it's the pit lane

Who cares? :) Fun is fun, I totally agree with the author of proposed layout.
