- TRACK: Adelaide Street / Adelaide Parklands (*) 
- NATION: Australia - KM: 3.78 - TURNS: 16 
- TYPE: Circuit - DIRECTION: Clockwise - YEAR: 1994 
- Circuit QUALITY 5/5 - Layout STYLE 4/5 - Drive DIFFICULTY 4/5 
- AUTHOR (Folder Name) reviewed: db_adelaide_1988

- INFO: is a temporary street circuit in the East Parklands adjacent to the Adelaide central business district in South Australia, Australia. The 3.780-kilometre (2.349 mi) "Grand Prix" version of the track hosted eleven Formula One Australian Grand Prix events from 1985 to 1995, as well as an American Le Mans Series endurance race on New Year's Eve in 2000 (Race of a Thousand Years). Between 1999 and 2020, a shortened version of the circuit was used for the Adelaide 500 touring car race. A sprint version of the circuit was used after 2014.


- Driving FEELINGS: Very Difficult and challanging!

MORE LAP INFO - Adelaide GP (by wiki)
At the end of the straight, drivers negotiate the SENNA CHICANE, so named after triple World Champion Ayrton Senna. After the chicane the cars take a fast left turn to go uphill on a short straight on WAKEFIELD Road to East Terrace. They then have a series of right angle turns along East Terrace. The short form of the track has three of these. Followed by fourth onto Bartels Road back across the parklands. Then the track follows the fast turn 8 sweeper. This corner was re-configured in 2009 and it produced some protests from many of the teams due to its speed and lack of runoff area. Turn 8 has been the site of many crashes in the various categories that have used the shortened version of the circuit. The full Grand Prix circuit bypasses the turn onto Bartels Road and continues with a sweeping left-right-right into Stag Turn (turn 9). This leads onto the 360-metre-long Jones Straight, known as Rundle Road for the rest of the year and named after Australia's 1980 World Champion Alan Jones. Then there is a fast right-hand sweeper (known as Brewery Bend) onto the 900-metre-long BRABHAM STRAIGHT (named for Jack Brabham), on DEQUETTEVILLE Terrace. The short form of the track rejoins Brabham Straight ⅔ of the way down, so the 640-metre-long Bartels Road straight is longest on that layout. In 2007 this section of track was renamed Brock Straight after touring car driver Peter Brock. At the end of Brabham Straight is a right hand hairpin turn (at the Britannia Roundabout) onto Wakefield Road, then a left turn and long sweeping right hand curve back into Victoria Park behind the pit area. The lap concludes with another right-hand hairpin (Racetrack Hairpin) onto the pit straight.

Other INFOs 
Aintree is well known as the venue for the world famous Grand National. But it also has a long and proud history as a motor sport venue. The 3-mile track, opened in 1954 by Earl Howe and Raymond Mays, remains Britain’s only purpose-built Grand Prix circuit and it still exists in its entirety. Aintree staged the British Grand Prix in 1955, 1957, 1959, 1961 and 1962. Stirling Moss scored his first World Championship Grand Prix victory in the 1955 event at Aintree. This also marked the first occasion on which a British driver had won his home Grand Prix. The first British driver / British car victory in a British Grand Prix was at Aintree in 1957 when Moss and Tony Brooks shared a Vanwall in an event which was also honoured with the title “Grand Prix d’Europe”. Aintree also staged a further eleven non-Championship Aintree “200” Formula One events.

- TRACK: Autódromo Internacional de San Carlos (*) 
- NATION: Venezuela - TYPE: Circuit - YEAR: 1970
- KM: 4.14 - TURNS: 12 - DIRECTION: Clockwise 
- LAYOUT reviewed: long
- LAYOUTs: Short, Long
- Circuit QUALITY 5/5 - Layout STYLE 5/5 - DIFFICULTY 4/5
- AUTHOR (Folder Name) reviewed: san_carlos_cojedes

- INFO: The circuit is is a motorsport race track located in San Carlos, Venezuela. From 1977 to 1979, it hosted the Venezuelan motorcycle Grand Prix.


- Driving FEELINGS: i prefer the long one.

INFOs (by www.racingcircuits.info)
Opened in 1970, the circuit was built on around 85 hectares of land, with a simple but fast 1.678 miles (2.700 km) layout and, for the times, modern amenities, including a steel-framed pit building and control tower. Financing for the project came from the influential Boulton family, and the whole complex cost 7.9 million bolívars to complete.
Very quickly it became recognised as one of the best designed and fastest circuits in Latin America and, in the more buoyant times of that era, signalled a bright new dawn for the country's motorsport development. Indeed, at one stage the course was earmarked for a Formula One test, though this never actually materialised.
It was, however, on the San Carlos track that future motorcycle and touring car champion Johnny Cecotto would taste his first laps, while other local aces to hone their skills included Carlos Lavado, Iván Palazzese and, on four wheels, Juan Cochesa. 
The affair left the Venezuelan authorities with a slightly tarnished reputation and thus requests to promote a World Championship event were turned down. However, the Spanish authorities stepped in to take over organisation and so the Venezuelan Grand Prix was duly added to the 1977 Motorcycle World Championship calendar as round one.
Despite this, further improvement works were needed and at the end of 1976 a new extension was added, bringing the lap distance up to 2.569 miles (4.135km). It was on this revised circuit that the most dazzling chapter of the circuit's history
Financial problems would spell the end of the Grand Prix after the 1979 edition, so through the 1980s and 1990s, the circuit settled into hosting domestic racing events only. Formula Ford 1600 and 2000 were mainstays, as were Ferrari Challenge and GT races.
Much needed financial-investment was hard to come by and, as time went by, the San Carlos track faded from international view. Local championship races thinned out as the country's economy dipped and this only served to exacerbate the situation. A circuit which had once been hailed as a template that would put many European circuits to shame was lagging behind in maintenance and safety features, despite the best efforts of circuit bosses.This was put into stark contrast in 2000 when during a sportscar event when the Ferrari Challenge car of Francois Guerin collided with a Ford Mustang out of the fast last corner, spinning across the front straight and into the pit lane, where the car struck the metal support pillar of the pit garages and burst into flame. Guerin survived, despite horrific injuries, but three others in the pit lane were not so fortunate. It was one of the darkest days for Venezuelan motorsport and spelled the end of any ambitions of San Carlos hosting anything more than club racing without substantial investment.
That has not been forthcoming so far and with the current economic and political difficulties the situation looks unlikely to change any time soon. The track has been put up for sale by its owners but to date has not been sold. The kart circuit, built in the early 2000s, remains very popular.

- TRACK: Dragon Trail (*) 
- NATION: HRV - Croatia - TYPE: Fictional Circuit - YEAR: 2016
- LAYOUT: Gardens - All LAYOUTs: Gardens, Seaside, Double
- KM: 4.31 - TURNS: 14 - DIRECTION: Cuntreclockwise 
- Circuit QUALITY 5/5 - Layout STYLE 5/5 - DIFFICULTY 4/5
- AUTHOR (Folder Name) reviewed: gt_dragontrail

- INFO: The Circuit is a fictional Road Course Staged in the Dalmatia region of Croatia in Eastern Europe situated not too far from the coastline. The "Gardens" on the track's name is derived from the green olive fields looking down on the course. It's surrounded by the azure blue Adriatic Sea and a steep mountainside. The nature unique to the Dalmatia region with its jagged coastline, the variety of plant life such as olives, pine, and palm trees are another notable part of the track.

- Personal HOTLAP: 1.36.900 (***) 
- Overall SCORE: 5/5
- Driving FEELINGS: very nice! featuring more continuous corners and plenty of technical sections. The circuit also undulates more as it passes over a hill, making it easy to lose grip and destabilize.

- TRACK: Dragon Trail (*) 
- NATION: HRV - Croatia - TYPE: Fictional Circuit - YEAR: 2016
- LAYOUT: Seaside - All LAYOUTs: Gardens, Seaside, Double
- KM: 4.31 - TURNS: 17 - DIRECTION: Counterclockwise 
- Circuit QUALITY 5/5 - Layout STYLE 5/5 - DIFFICULTY 4/5
- AUTHOR (Folder Name) reviewed: gt_dragontrail

- INFO: The Circuit is a fictional Road Course Staged in the Dalmatia region of Croatia in Eastern Europe situated not too far from the coastline. The track is essentially a triangular shape, but it contains hidden depths that add to its complexity. Most notable of which is that it is set on a hillside, and so there are steep incline and decline portions of the track. The nature unique to the Dalmatia region with its jagged coastline, the variety of plant life such as olives, pine, and palm trees are another notable part of the track.


- Driving FEELINGS: very nice! between the three hairpins, that make up the points of the triangle, there are three different styles of chicane that must all be approached differently.

- TRACK: Phoenix International Raceway (*) 
- NATION: USA - America - TYPE: Circuit - YEAR: 2019
- LAYOUT: Tri-Oval - 
- KM: 1.65 - TURNS: 5 - DIRECTION: AntiClockwise 
- Circuit QUALITY 5/5 - Layout STYLE 4/5 - DIFFICULTY 2/5
- AUTHOR (Folder Name) reviewed: phoenix_raceway

- INFO: it's a low-banked tri-oval race track located in Avondale, Arizona, near Phoenix.
The quirky oval in the foothills of the Estrella Mountains has deservedly earned its nickname 'the desert oddball', thanks to its unusual configuration with a dog leg turn and its unique surroundings.
An infield and external road course which was once popular for road racing was eliminated.
Some curiosity... Phoenix Phoenix was only mentioned in the episode Drive, Lady, Drive on the TV show CHiPs and was also in the movie Days of Thunder starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. 


- Driving FEELINGS: interesting Tri-Oval, quite easy.

HISTORY
Phoenix International Raceway was built in 1964 around the Estrella Mountains on the outskirts of Avondale. Because of the terrain and the incorporation of a road course and drag strip, designers had to build a "dogleg" into the backstretch. The original roadcourse was 2 miles (3.2 km) in length and ran both inside and outside of the main oval track. The hillsides adjacent to the track also offer a unique vantage point to watch races from. 
The raceway was originally constructed with a 2.5 miles (4.0 km) road course that ran on both the inside and the outside of the main tri-oval. 
In 1973, the track was purchased by FasTrack International, Inc. and renamed FasTrack International Speedway.[8] The name was reverted to Phoenix International Raceway in August 1976 when USAC team owner Bob Fletcher bought the speedway.
In 1991 the track was reconfigured with the current 1.51 miles (2.43 km) interior layout. The plans also include a reconfiguration of the track.[18] The front stretch was widened from 52 feet to 62 feet (19 m), the pit stalls were changed from asphalt to concrete, the dogleg (between Turn 2 and Turn 3) was moved outward by 95 feet (29 m), tightening the turn radius of the dogleg from 800 feet to 500 feet (152 m). Along with the other changes, progressive banking was added to the turns: Turns 1 and 2, which had 11 degrees of banking, changed to 10 degrees on the bottom and 11 degrees on the top. Turns 3 and 4, which had 9 degrees of banking, changed to 8 degrees on the bottom and 9 on the top. The reconfiguration project was completed by mid-August 2011. five drivers tested the new track, describing the new dogleg and backstretch as a "rollercoaster" as now when they enter it dips, then rises on exit and dips down going into turn 3, due to the elevation changes. The reconfiguration in 2011 increased the banking slightly, removed the road course entirely and removed the grass and curbing inside of the dogleg, giving sanctioning bodies the option of whether or not to allow drivers to shortcut the dogleg and run on the now-paved apron that replaced the grass. Renovations in 2018 reconfigured the pit road and infield areas, and moved the start/finish line to just coming out of what was turn 2 (now turn 4), before the dogleg.
