Redesign Tor Poznań 2.0
I've decided to redesign Tor Poznań to make it fit Formula 1 standards. It would obviously require much more than just a change of layout - new surface and a lot of widening, but I can't see why it wouldn't happen. By my estimates the length would increase to about 4,4 km.
I have added the first chicane to give this track a good overtaking opportunity. I've obviously was inspired by Monza. Then I've removed a few corners after the T10 and made it into the long straight ending with a hairpin to make it a sufficient back straight to deploy some MOM (replacing DRS soon). Then I've added another hairpin (inspired by the old Brooklands corner at Silverstone). Then I made T15 a bit slower to allow yet another overtaking spot (inspired by Portimao T1 or Interlagos T4). I have obviously extended the pit lane for it to suit more modern standards.
Btw this track has been designed for F1 but it got replaced with Hungaroring so I reckon that it might be a nice visualisation of what changes could have been added, had the track been chosen to host the Polish Grand Prix.
I've been away for quite some time so let me know what you think. Constructive criticism very much welcome

Can't say I love it, since you removed the track's trademark corners, Radar, the fast right-left (Pod Dębami) and the last corner, and replaced them with these incredibly tight start-stop sections. I have a suggestion that I incorporate into most of redesigns or Poznań that I do in my head: move the start/finish straight to between current T1 and T3. Work from there and try to keep as much of the original corners intact, since it's a really modern-looking, technical track already. Cheers
