Title: New 3-D image of Austin track Post by: rip|buzinator on September 01, 2010, 07:11:17 AM http://adamcooperf1.com/2010/09/01/exclusive-new-3-d-image-of-austin-track/
Quote An obvious key characteristic is the uphill run into Turn One, which is somewhat reminscent of the A1-Ring. The long back straight, which appears somewhat truncated in this picture, undulates like the old pit straight at Kyalami.

Title: Re: New 3-D image of Austin track Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on September 01, 2010, 07:19:02 AM WHOA! Are there any other F1 tracks that the first turn is 133ft higher than the start finish line?
I really like it..... Title: Re: New 3-D image of Austin track Post by: rip|buzinator on September 01, 2010, 08:20:44 AM As Cooper observed - very much like the A1Ring in Austria, but that's not a current track so nope.
Could be quite cool.

Could be quite cool. so, whats the rules and procedures on testing a new track that no one in the world has raced on, before a F1 race is held there? Title: Re: New 3-D image of Austin track Post by: Ezeon on September 01, 2010, 01:29:13 PM Looks awesome! Hopefully someone will already be making a mock-up of it for GTR or something :P

None that I'm aware of, just has to be inspected and approved by FIA. In the past they used to allow an additional practice day on Thursday, but they got rid of that a few years ago. @EZ - yh, was thinking the same thing :) Title: Re: New 3-D image of Austin track Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on September 02, 2010, 07:38:59 AM So I assume the teams will be scrambling the get a mock up in the simulator ASAP
