A request from Raido, here are some screens of the street circuit used for A1GP in Beijing, China.
The track will include 4 layouts - A1GP new and old. The old version has the long dual carriageway and the hairpin right at the end of it. The new layout has the hairpin about halfway down, but it is a bit more of a challenge as you have to take the perfect line - as much speed as possible but don't hit the pit entry barrier! Both layouts will have chicane and no chicane variants, because I don't like the chicane as it limits the speed on the dual carriageway.
The texture used for astroturf is from the Road Mid XPack - it's the basic no groove texture, but I've duplicated it and changed the colour to turquoise.
Don't worry, both of the hairpins are stupidly tight, and require full lock of your wheel and speeds of about 10-15mph (with the A1GP 2008/09 mod).
Screens:
Turn 4, onto the dual carriageway:
Chicane:
The new hairpin, the pit entry barrier is protected by a piece of TecPro and a piece of polystyrene with the A1GP logo.
Old hairpin, the barrier opposite the braking zone is lined with TecPro:
Turn 1:
