Re: GPL track design idea

From what I understand, it's possible. The problem comes in with trying to cross the start/finish line twice for each complete circuit of the course. I think GPL has a bit of a headache trying to keep the timing and scoring straight. Especially if you were to try to enter the pits on the wrong time down the s/f straight. Do some looking in the Deja.com archives. This has been discussed in some detail previously, though I don't remember all of the discussion. -Chris- **Jesus saves sinners and redeems them for valuable cash prizes** Ville V Sinkko <[email hidden]> wrote:

Here's one I'd like to see: Monza in the 1955-1961 configuration! That was when the oval banking was used, bringing the track length to just about 10 kilometers. As you have noticed, the '67 track already has some of the banking physically there (including the entry and exit points to the main track), so one wonders if someone with the necessary knowhow could simply extend the existing track by building the rest of the oval. Anyone? +Cinquo

AFAIK the front straight was split into two (by a barrier i think). Coming from the banking and entering the straight on the left side, one would not be able to enter the pits. You can look at it as two parts of the track that are separated but are physically next to each other. The start/finishline used to be on only one part of the straight. I don't know on which part. grtngs, hgrm
