Guten tag, guten tag.
Here is Hermann's Guide To Track Design.
So the first thing you need is a pit straight. Pick a good one! An offset start line is essential! [As is a hospitality area - BE]. Oh and you need a grandstand, of course.
It is important that turn 2 is right, and follows down a long straight for another grandstand. Preferably this could keep the paying customers [proles - BE] together. Also the DRS could be used here.
To stop any overtaking down at the end of this long straight, it is a necessity to add a chicane, then end T1. Next is T2.
Now remember I designed Turn 8 at Istanbul [torched it - BE], so I must know something about flow. So maybe we'll have a flowing Timing Sector 2.
As you know, each circuit must have a unique feature, like Valencia's swing bridge or that blue paint at Abu Dhabi or that nice grandstand in Malaysia, so I was thinking maybe a duck pond... [Really? - BE] We could have a corner circumnavigating it!
T3 is important, because it is the last section. It is hence necessary to have a succession of 90 degree turns. Might even bend them round a grandstand. Then, an unnecessary kink
to bring up the corner count. Unfortunanately, that means you're not at 90 degrees to the pit straight. Just do the best you can!
That leaves only one thing left. The pit lane. Now you may say that a pit lane on the outside of Turn 1 is a bad idea, but Korea, Singapore and Abu Dhabi went off with only minimal complaints! Maybe a tight chicane surrounded by the only gravel trap in the country and then a pit exit right into Turn 2.
And there you are, another success. The boss loves these circuits. Who are you to say they aren't very good?
