Vijayendra Shankar Vasudevan Thesis Synopsis
THESIS 2014-2015
INTERNATIONAL RACE CIRCUIT
1.0 OVERVIEW OF THE TOPIC
A race track is a facility built for racing of animals, vehicles, or athletes. A race track also may feature grandstands or concourses. Many are multi-use, allowing different types of sport on the same track, or incorporating many tracks in one venue.
Racetracks are primarily designed for competition through speed, featuring defined start-finish lines or posts, and sometimes even a series of defined timing points that divide the track into time sector. It is generally a permanent facility or building, with scope for future expansion. Circuit is a common alternate term for racetrack, given the usual circuitous configuration of most race tracks, allowing races to occur over several laps. The design aims at creating a adaptable or convertible space, focusing on Formula 1 racing, with additional sport facilities like golf courses, tennis and badminton.
2.0 DETAILED INTRODUCTION
Form and function are equally important in the design of a race facility. The race track must be user friendly to a variety of different customers and must meet the operating requirements of a wide range of racing and related activities. To be successful, today's multi-use facility must integrate these conflicting requirements into its concept, final design and construction.
Most importantly, a race track must be designed as a cohesive element within the overall race facility in a manner that ensures the ability to operate the entire complex as cost effectively as possible, with the goal of allowing the facility to operate profitably.
