A little eye-candy :)

Hello all,
the F1 season is approaching so I was taking a look at the tracks. The first race will be in Bahrain at Sakhir, where an airbase has been recently opened. The airbase (OBKH) close to the circuit, so I thought I could add the racetrack itself!
I did this adding some taxiways to Chris Doehring's file available on Avsim.
Nothing that difficult, it just took me a bit to understand where exactly it was. It will not be 100% perfect but at least it should be a nice eye-candy!
The real one. The airfield seems to be still under construction in this shot. The taxiway is the strip covered by sand just right of the track

I like it!

Any idea who or what will be based at the base?

Maybe one or two camera-equipped helicopters following the race!

An idea for the next one: Sepang, Malaysia, which is close to the airport (an old scenery featured it the way I did this one).
And the Abu Dhabi circuit might be an idea too!

Very well done. I thought about doing this as racetracks make great VFR checkpoints and FS didn't include them.

You could get the Hummers from the Nellis package and repaint them in your favorite F1 team colors (colours).

I remember once I've seen AI F1 cars for FS2004 too! I have to check!
