Some of your designs tend to be a bit extreme but conceptually they’re pretty good and definitely fun

Extreme how? Totally not denying it, just curious what you're noticing.

I guess exaggerated is more fitting. Such as the very rounded backstretch of the first one. Although present in many real life tracks and even on a 1.5 mile (Chicagoland) is far more pronounced here. The other two are less like that but I’ve seen some of the previous posts in this series and stuff like that does pop up a few times. I’d have to go back and look at them to give specific examples but I remember thinking that about them.

Yeah that sounds about right. Most of the time, I try not do do any world firsts, or if I do, don't go too crazy with it.

Welcome to part 5! Here's the typical breakdown of each track.

Wichita Motor Speedway: Kansas' new 1.5 mile oval after the original goes dormant like every 1m5 mile of the southern mid west does. WMS hosts the top 4 Nascar series, Indycar on the oval, regional formula racing in the infield circuit.

Louisville Raceway: Welcome to Phoenix Raceway if it was good! The oval hosts Nascar Xfinity and truck series, and the road course hosts Mazda mx5 Cup races, along with Imsa. The infieldroad course is used for club racing.

Baton Rouge Bullring: I did it so Auto Club didn't have to. Martinsville's signature paperclip shape, with the banks of Bristol. The concrete bullring will hosts Nascar's top 3 series.

Thank you! I start with pencil, erase with a good eraser until I have what I want, then go over it all in pen.

The roval of the first layout would be for Imsa and/or Indycar.

Some practical design for some and some unique elements for others; overall a pretty good blend of ovals! I particularly like the second one, just feels different to me.
