As the race droned on in NH this past weekend I started thinking. NASCAR seems to have just a couple types of tracks. Big ovals, small ovals & road courses. What I'd love to see is a track designed similar to the type of layout slot guys who have to race on a 4' x 8' or a 4' x 16' have. A long straight (Daytona long) that leads into a sweeping bank, then a back straight that has one or two twisty bits and that leads into a sweep flat curve that goes into a bank then & back onto the long straight. The final kink wold bring the cars below 80 mph. Now that would be a **** of a track to set a car up for & to drive. The drivers & the crew chefs would probably hate it but IMO it would be a game changer. It would make racing exciting & unpredictable again.
Here's the basic gist. I'm no architect or track designer so I'm sure many details would have to change but here's what I envision.
Thoughts?
