Autódromo Valparaíso | Valparaíso, Chile

Autódromo Valparaíso is the home of Chilean motorsport. Finishing construction in 2021, Autódromo Valparaíso holds FIM Grade A certification, hosting the Chilean MotoGP round. Autódromo Valparaíso also holds FIA Grade 1 certification, though it hasn't hosted a Formula 1 race and doesn't currently have plans to do so.

The layout of this circuit takes drivers/riders on a journey. A tale of two halves, the first half of the circuit features long straights and tricky braking zones on relatively flat terrain. The second half of the lap takes drivers/riders through a series of undulating turns with dramatic elevation changes. Tricky to learn, yet rewarding to master, this circuit is a fan and driver favorite, wholly earning its status as one of South America's top motorsports venues.

RTD Challenge #67 || Goodier and Woodier

RTD Challenge 66 | Flip it and Reverse it | Results:

Best in Show: KlowRingen by u/Working_Breakfast815

"Nailed the vibe, a lovely track in both directions. Didn't get overambitious with the possibilities of a bidirectional track, kept it real and it came out great. I also applaud the work with the barriers in some spots, to get the openings to places were impacts are the least likely"

Honorable Mention: Valdoria Raceway by u/Alain9331

"Admirable presentation from Alain as always. A much different approach to the challenge, that also worked well. Biggest thing holding this one back was some safety issues with runoff lacking on corner exits throughout the track."

Congrats to our honorees, lets see RTD Challenge #67

Goodier and Woodier

Goodwood Circuit is a time capsule. Unchanged since 1952, it stands as one of the few untainted specimens of mid-century track design. With the FOS being such a major event showcasing cars from all eras, not all of them are at home at the classic circuit.

Your mission is to create a circuit nearby Goodwood Motor Circuit that captures the essence of the tracks of a certain era of racing. This track doesn't need to be graded but should generally be safe. You can do any amount of history retcons you want to make your track fit the site. It is to be used in FOS showcase-style events.

The FOS has only been hosted since 1993, so historical retcons are very much a likelihood depending on the angle you take for this challenge.

If you want, you could even go above and beyond and try and make multiple tracks for different eras. Overcrowding is the big issue you'd face there, so weigh your options. Quality will beat quantity.

Rules:

  1. Must be a permanent circuit(s), no street circuits.
  2. Must be within this red shape.

  1. Must not destroy or reuse any of the infrastructure or circuits related to the FOS, no turning the hillclimb into a full track.
  2. Post with the "RTD Challenge" flair and include "RTD Challenge #67" or some direct mention of the challenge in the post title.

Your deadline is 11:59:59 PM CDT, August 30th, 2026 (Countdown)

New Glarus Speedway Motorsports Park || RTD Challenge #66

New Glarus Speedway was constructed in the 1970s on a hilltop above its namesake town. Just over half a mile long, the track became a mainstay for local short track racing and carved its place into the landscape of midwestern oval racing. Financial hardship struck in the late 90s. Despite the success of stock car racing at the time, the speedway’s ownership refused to renovate the circuit beyond its original state. Some racers liked the roughness of it, but more were legitimately concerned over the safety of the track. The cold winters split the track surface more and more every year; the walls were a foot thick of concrete nearing 30 years old. 

After brief closure while the owners searched for more caring owners, the track reopened in 2000 to rave reviews, pulling nationally recognized series to the venue for the first time in its history. The late 2000s brought a series of misfortunes to the track. First, in 2007, a sinkhole opened under the paddock, calling off the entire racing season as repairs and renovations were done to make sure this didn’t happen again. To boot, the financial crisis that started the same year sidelined the owners’ ability to get the track back up to snuff. It would sit dormant for another 5 years. 

In 2014, site redevelopment threatened the now-historic venue. In the auction for the land the track sat on, the winning bid went to a racing enthusiast from nearby Madison. The new owner had his sights set on something beyond just the classic oval. He funded the construction of a brand new road course that would combine layouts with the oval to form a unique combination of track types rarely seen on this scale. This renovation came with local investment, with the famous New Glarus Brewing Company sponsoring the track and lending the names of its renowned beers to the corners of the new circuit. The track would be renamed to New Glarus Speedway Motorsports Park upon its reopening in 2018.

The novelty of the circuit was not lost on the people at the 24 Hours of Lemons racing series, who added an overnight race, “The Long Night in Wisconsin,” to the schedule starting in 2021. The race takes place the nearest weekend to the winter solstice every year from the times of 4:00 PM to 8:00 AM the next day. Upon reaching the halfway point at midnight, a short caution is called after which the direction of the race is reversed, allowed for by the bi-directional runoff of the circuit. An added wrinkle of this race and its popularity is the pitlane usage. Lemons races draw big fields, and the 24 pit boxes of the standard road course layouts don’t cut it, so for this event and this event only, both the road course and oval pitlanes are used.

OVAL DETAILS
.53 Miles
T1/2: 10-15 degrees progressive
T3/4: 5-10 degrees progressive--steeper mid-corner
Front/Backstretch: Flat
100 foot banking transition in and out of 1/2
inside drops for 3/4

RTD Challenge #66 || Flip it and Reverse it

First off, results for RTD65, The Elbonian Connection, as judged by u/WynnEnby

Best in Show: The Elbonian GP That Never Was by u/maxx-usa

Congrats to maxx on the challenge win, let's get into the next challenge...

Flip it and Reverse it

The challenge: Design a road course that is able to be used in both directions

Your task is to design a circuit, not only able to be ran in both directions, but to excel in both directions. You must take safety features such as runoff and wall openings into consideration, as well as racing quality. Don’t let safety come at the expense of racing, and vice versa. In addition, don’t let the quality of one direction of the track come at the expense of the other direction.

Rules:

The main layout of your track must be functional in both directions. You can’t add chicanes or anything to one direction in order to meet safety requirements. Using them as alternate layouts is fine, but they shouldn't be a necessity in the name of safety. The track must be of the same or similar quality or grade in both directions. For example, if a circuit is Formula 1/Grade 1 quality going clockwise, it must also be that quality going counterclockwise. This must be upheld no matter the level of racing the circuit holds. Must be a paved, permanent or semi perm road course between 0.5 kilometers and 7 kilometers. Leaving a wide range to encourage unique ideas but also closing off loopholes No major renovations should be required to change layouts. Minimal barriers are able to be moved, but it shouldn’t be a whole renovation. The less work to switch directions the more points you’ll get.

Suggestions:

Make it make sense that the track can run both directions. Not every track would benefit much from being multidirectional. For this reason I would suggest staying away from high grade tracks that only have one, maybe two big races a year. An F1 circuit has minimal reason to be operable in both directions unless you are trying to do some sprint weekend shenanigans or something Ideally you should have no primary direction. It shouldn’t be a “clockwise but can also be ran backwards” track. Make them equally great. Ask any clarifying questions you may have I’m sure there’s a loophole out there, but stay within the spirit of the prompt

Anarchy in Argentina Results

Votes were calculated off of 35 submitted ballots. 1st place votes were worth 3 points, 2nd worth 2, and 3rd worth 1. R32's rankings were a failsafe if there were the event of a tie, did not end up being necessary but commentary still included.

Results u/RandomTrackDesignAcc u/Working_Breakfast815 u/Cyclone1001 u/RaceTrackAndF1Fan u/JvsK_VB77
Layout 67 64 53 25 1
Presentation 53 42 39 31 10
Overall 62 51 37 27 10
R32's Ranking 3 5 1
Total 185 162 130 83 21

Offical judging commentary from u/R32_driver:

First of all, I want to congratulate all the participants in the comp. I was pleased with most of the submissions, and I enjoyed seeing my idea for the competition come to life along with all the different ways the rules were interpreted (cough... cough... cyclone- cough...) Anyway, i've also decided to give my personal ranking of the 3 best submissions, decided by a range of factors that consider both the layouts themselves, and the overall design and detail put into the submissions:

  1. Okpie ( u/Working_Breakfast815 )
  • I mean, just flawless visual execution and perfectly interpreted what I had in mind when making the prompt. I also loved the attention to detail in the cars and the people. My only comment is that the layout itself could be improved and that the general runoff shape is rather unusual. But other than that, flawless. This racetrack manages to tell a story from a single image.
  1. RandomRacetrackDesignAcc ( u/RandomTrackDesignAcc )
  • Also an incredible attention to detail and flawless visual execution. This submission by far features the best layouts. The way the layouts and logo are presented is also well done. My biggest issue with this circuit was the small flaws that made you do a double take. Why is the parking lot only accessible by dirt road? How come the parking lots are full, but there is no visible life in the entire facility?
  1. Cyclone ( u/Cyclone1001 )
  • I mean, where do I even start? Not only did I get a headache trying to figure out whether, but I was also blown away by the out-of-bounds thinking presented by Cyclone. Circuits like these are what prove that he really is one of the top designers around. The lore was also a fun read. The biggest drawback to this submission was the last-minute kart/rallycross circuit that looks as if it was shoehorned in at the last second, and the visual drawing error with its shadows.

RTD Challenge #65 || The Elbonian Connection

RTD Challenge #64 Results

Best in Show - 2030 Dubai E-Prix by u/maxx-usa

**- "**Maxx-usa wins easily. The track layout isn't great on its own but is the best that can be done within their own self made restrictions, which makes it perfect. The presentation of the ridiculous idea is what sells it. This is a track that had an ambitious plan and committed to it, and that's perfect for this challenge."

Congrats to Maxx-usa, let's move on to RTD Challenge #65, submitted by u/WynnEnby

The Elbonian Connection

In the world of Dilbert, Elbonia is a poor and underdeveloped Eastern European country whose chief industry is mud. They are the target of hijinks, the butt of jokes, and overall a laughingstock of the world. But not for long. You, good user, are charged by the Elbonian Ministry of Sport with bringing high-level motorsports to the glorious nation to improve its image and stimulate the local economy. But not all is as it seems…

Unbeknownst to Elbonian authorities you are actually a traitor, and your true goal is to sabotage Elbonia's ambitions to the greatest extent possible without exposing your dastardly schemes or losing your job. Rather than merely designing a poor facility (and getting caught), your task is to create a venue that outwardly appears perfect for a high-level international event of your choosing, but in reality is set up to fail in whatever subtle, defensible, and nonetheless crippling ways you can conceive.

The fate of Elbonian motorsport lies in your hands. Good luck, and remember: misfortune favors the bold.

Rules:

  • Your main layout must be at least FIA Grade 3 or FIM Grade C or better, or otherwise approved for high-level competition by the relevant sanctioning body (e.g. FIA Grade 6RW, FIA-CIK Homologated)
  • You must choose an international event/series the track is aimed at. This is not to the exclusion of hosting other events at any level.
  • Any included geography should be reasonably consistent with Eastern Europe; no scorching desert or tropical rainforest.
  • Tracks will be judged according to apparent feasibility, actual grief caused, defensibility of your failings, realism, and overall presentation.
  • Design guidelines apply.
  • Post must use the "RTD Challenge" flair

Suggestions:

  • Context is key! Anybody can make "mistakes" in the right circumstances, so consider and explain yours well!
  • One big problem is simple to fix, it only needs a solution. Many smaller ones can be impossible to untangle; that creates dilemmas and force compromise.
  • Plan rigidly with budgets tight and schedules tighter. If you're lucky, things may fall apart all on their own.
  • If it costs too much upfront, backers will surely balk. But who wouldn't want a white elephant for cheap?
  • Look to history; our world offers no shortage of weird, wonderful and spectacular failures to draw on.

Inspired by the Elbonian challenges Youtubers like Forgotten Weapons, The Chieftain, Drachinifel, etc. have made into videos (e.g. https://youtu.be/-_mX9grIo-Y)

Do you know what a fart track is? No? Would you like to?

A fart track is a little inside joke thing that I do. Basically any dumb concept, hastily put together layout, or anything in those bounds is what I call a "fart track"

Basically any horrendous idea of a circuit or just some lump of coal that you made is what this is.

Your duties for this challenge include taking a joke of a track and putting a full amount of work and presentation into it. If you need an example of two fart tracks that got the deluxe treatment from me, check out my recent post, Big Bill Hell's Challenge Pissing Supermotorway or my older Speedway de Barcelona-Catalunya.

There are other examples of this of course, as pretty much all April Fools tracks fit this description as well.

An explainer of your fart track is optional, but it may be needed if you get a little more esoteric with it.

Submissions will be judged by u/Cyclone1001, and he's picky. Better bring your best effort here.

Deadline is May 28th, 2026 at 11:59:59 CDT (Countdown)
