Race organisers for the forthcoming United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas,have released a draft layout of the new circuit that will stage the event from 2012, when Formula One racing returns to the country for the first time in five years. Working with renowned track architect Hermann Tilke, organisers Full Throttle Productions LP have drawn inspiration from the best circuits around the world, as well as taking advantage of the site’s natural topography to include some dramatic elevation changes. Turns 3 through 6 look not dissimilar to Silverstone’s high-speed Maggotts/Becketts; Turns 12 through 15 give a nod to Hockenheim's stadium section; and Turns 16 through 18 will mirror the infamous, multi-apex Turn 8 at Istanbul Park. “The area has natural elevation differences, which promises a fast track with difficult corners,” Hellmund told Formula1.com recently. “But the most essential thing is that has to be a masterpiece in its suitability for fans. Spectators have to be able to see large parts of the track from wherever they are.” The 3.4 mile (5.47 kilometre), anticlockwise circuit features 20 turns and a total elevation change of 133 feet (40.5 metres), including a steep, uphill run into the hairpin Turn 1, which is expected to become the venue’s signature corner 轉載自:http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2010/9/11198.html 3-D layout:http://0rz.tw/GLCSF 2-D layout:http://0rz.tw/AMi2o 一條銀石+德國+伊斯坦堡的新賽道... 看來又是個過癮的高速賽道 --
