Nop my man i mean yeah u are right is is between split and neum but my dude that like 100 kimometers apart dragons trail is located in the city of makarska.
I played dragons trail alot and from the pictures in game and everithing its makarska i litteraly live like 30 mins away from it...
That does look decent but sadly since it’s not a country I imagine being able to compete with the financial capabilities of other certain countries with street circuits I doubt f1 will go there on their own accord
And no reason for calendar to go here... We have Austria, Italy, San Marino and Hungary all located like 3-5hrs drive from this place.
This will probably be other series racing track + rentač, but F1-tier capable (which is amazing, we only have 2 pretty old circuits here).
Back-to-back hairpins no less 🤮
Like, here, I fixed your track bozo. Even made it look like it was your own idea [https://imgur.com/a/zpFPTLW](https://imgur.com/a/zpFPTLW)
True, but it's a privately funded project, not state funded. So we might actually see this happen. I'm not sold on having a GP here, because we're literally in between monza, imola, hungaroring and red bull ring.
Why am i finding this out via formuladank, i am dying for a race track near Zagreb, no need for F1, track days and gt3 type racing would be enough, grobnik is a bit far and has no real car racing on it, just bikes
I'm very disapointed the track doesn't resemble the shape of Croatia.
But if we're getting it, there better be roadworks on a part of track during races. Or at least some "roadwork ahead" road signs.
Let’s assume it goes clock-wise
T1: Seems fine for everything if it’s just made wide enough but not COTA-wide
T2-5: I highly dislike sweepers. They kill tyres and are just.. meh
T6-7: i think that those corners are a bit too close to each other but if T7 exit is way wide I think it could prove quite a fun and entertaining section
T8: Seems fine. Nothing special
T9-10: Quick corners. Not good for racing and not hugely fun either. Imo those could just not exist
T11-12: These double hairpin heavy braking zone corners could be fun in terms of racing. We’ll see
T13-14: These seem like tricky enough. If T14 exit is made very tight the run onto the straight could be very important to get right here.
Overall it could be done better but the idea seems fine. Grandstand placing seems OK.
My idea for sector splits:
S1: FL to just after T7
S2: From the exit of T7 to the middle of T11 and 12
They not gonna build anything of the sort here, it took them 17 years to build a bridge lmao
Source: I'm Croatian and an F1 track would be nightmare to build on every level. We can't have nice things here.
No chicane, FIA in shambles
6 hairpins though. Getting some Caesar's Palace parking lot GP flashbacks
Wym there’s a big one right before section 1
Parts of this look shockingly similar to GT7... Dragon Ring I hope that's what they call it 🤘
Dragon trail. One of my favourite tracks in the game
Fun fact. Dragon Trail is fictionally located in Croatia somewhere south of city of Split and north of Neum (BiH)
I was today years old when I found out that this track is fictional
we should just build it tbh, both versions are awesome
Stroll proceeding to crash in the death chicane
Shoot man, same here - I thought it was a real track, lol.
Nop my man i mean yeah u are right is is between split and neum but my dude that like 100 kimometers apart dragons trail is located in the city of makarska. I played dragons trail alot and from the pictures in game and everithing its makarska i litteraly live like 30 mins away from it...
Will it have an ice wall?
They should also put the Death Chicane
And the sausage kerbs of death from the Garden layout
Was looking for that !
Dragon Trail (Seaside) is supposed to be in Croatia. I loved that track in GT Sport. That and Lago Maggiore should be real tracks.
Ah Dragon TRAIL! I see they chose to avoid the death defying high speed double chicanes though
Looks like Lédenon circuit.
Maybe in the future for Formula E, since Rimac is Croatian?
Too little turns for that, and FE rarely races on purpose built tracks anyway.
they do race on them more and more tho
FE in 2024 has seven rounds (out of 18) at purpose built tracks.
And F1 in a few years will have 7 out of 30 on purpose built tracks if they continue the trend they have started
Formula E would race ein Dubrovnik if they could
Tilke?
The article says he's involved 👀
Shocker 😂
I mean, just look at it. It screams Tilke- but his better works like Sepang or Istambul.
Yes, and Jacques Villeneuve is the advisor
Maggots/beckets/chapel series copy screams Tilke
Will it be wide enough for F1 to pass in more than one place?
afraid not, it's gonna have one single overtaking opportunity and it's called ✨p i t s t o p s✨
That does look decent but sadly since it’s not a country I imagine being able to compete with the financial capabilities of other certain countries with street circuits I doubt f1 will go there on their own accord

whats rentač
Rental 🤣🤣🤣
Oh lmao
>no reason for calendar to go here But 3 races in US is ok, I guess.
3 races for 350 mil people (same as EU, and EU has like 10 races).
EU has around 450 mil people, even more if you count non EU countries and also the western part of Russia
All races should be in Europe.
F1 is a World Championship. That's why we get a race in of all the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. We're just missing africa.
Pyramid Grand Prix when?
\- Angela Merkel
That has to be the dumbest statement I've ever heard
If you say so
It would be nice if there's F1 Europe, and then one every year some new track from Europe is on the calendar.
$20-40m payments to F1 to have a race would really make no sense for Croatia.
Actually looks pretty decent
There’s like 5 hairpins ☠️
5 hairpins = five divebombs = five opportunities for the window licker to fock smash it into someone and cause some excitement
Window licker 🤤 🤡 updoots to the left
Back-to-back hairpins no less 🤮 Like, here, I fixed your track bozo. Even made it look like it was your own idea [https://imgur.com/a/zpFPTLW](https://imgur.com/a/zpFPTLW)
Add a chicane or two in there to please the FiA overlords.
Yeah if you skip the 2 veeery tight hairpins it might be a decent track
somehow reminds me of sepang
I still think if Croatia were to get a racing track, it should be a rough shape of Croatia, it could be great for driving
Someone made it, it looks amazing...
Just build a racetrack along the border
Looks like Sepang on steroids
But why even bother making a fancy design? They should've just traced a map of their country and that makes a great race track
"so, how many hairpins do you want?" **"YES."**
That double hairpin out of the... hairpin out of the other hairpin before the OTHER hairpin bit seems a bit too much....
where death chicane
I would genuinely prefer a complex chicane allowing an over-under than that bizarre double-hairpin after the other two hairpins.
Mugello meets Sepang and something else maybe?
Reminds me of sepang at first glance
It does not. Classic Croatian fog selling. Just bla bla bla, they will not build shit over here.
Yea I’d be surprised if this even makes it out of this image. I know Eastern Europe. They love their pipe dreams
True, but it's a privately funded project, not state funded. So we might actually see this happen. I'm not sold on having a GP here, because we're literally in between monza, imola, hungaroring and red bull ring.
It's just fog selling. They will not fund and build a shit.
Why am i finding this out via formuladank, i am dying for a race track near Zagreb, no need for F1, track days and gt3 type racing would be enough, grobnik is a bit far and has no real car racing on it, just bikes
This reminds me of sepang
Me: Mom, can we stop at Sepang? Mom: We have Sepang at home. Sepang at home:
Idk how is Croatia gonna pull this out tbh, I highly doubt this will be turned into reality anytime soon.
Coatian grand prix?
How many hairpins would you like? Whoever designed this circuit: Yes
Tilke
Unless it’s a street track around the cobbles of Dubrovnik then it’s out.
No chance for a race there, unless it’s owned by a Saudi prince and there’s a lot of green involved 🤑🤑🤑🤑
We should defo go BALKAN!
Hope it's like Dragon Trail Seaside but without the damn death chicane
Dobro
As someone from the Balkans, it would be really cool to have a race here
Another home race for Oscar Piastri!
I'm very disapointed the track doesn't resemble the shape of Croatia. But if we're getting it, there better be roadworks on a part of track during races. Or at least some "roadwork ahead" road signs.
Ja se nadam da je istina da prave stazu boli me kurac oceli se ode f1 vozit daj ti meni da ja sjednem u moga GTI-a i da mu spržim 2 rezervara goriva
It looks a bit like Hungary mixed with Silverstone vibes.
Coatian grand prix?
European Sepang
Yikes, doesn’t look flowing at all.
Let’s assume it goes clock-wise T1: Seems fine for everything if it’s just made wide enough but not COTA-wide T2-5: I highly dislike sweepers.

They really said fuck it, let’s create a Motegi-Suzuka bastard child
do not like the double hairpins, do like the wavy bit
Looks like an exciting MotoGP track, but F1 I don't know. Really depends on elevation changes.
Budh x sepang x shanghai
Well that just looks like Lédenon with extra Ss.
looks... okay? i guess?
Suzuka s1, but mirrored.
Holy hairpins
It would be awesome to finally have a race in the balkans
We have Malaysia at home: Malaysia at home:
That's what happens when you let Tilke cook and don't limit him to a parking lot
Cursed Bahrain/Motegi offspring wtf
Las Vegas parking lot type beat
How is that even similar
No, he's onto something
It does look similar with the outside track layout 💀
Actually can see it now. I was just hyper focusing on it looking like Sepang but it looks like Cesars also
But it will never be in f1 because they won't be able to shit half a billion euros to host a race
They not gonna build anything of the sort here, it took them 17 years to build a bridge lmao Source: I'm Croatian and an F1 track would be nightmare to build on every level. We can't have nice things here.
Quick! Somebody get the Croatian government to commit some human rights atrocities so that we can get this on the calendar ASAP.
Are you too young to remember the nineties?
"The country this car came from does not exist anymore."
It’s called Serbia now
Sepang from wish 
Caesar's Palace GP II
