Section Design

So working on the theory the by raising the track to sit on top of the Pit Garages and by moving the VIP facilities to sit above the spectators here's a few ideas for how this could look in section.

 Section 1 shows the relationship between the gallery / entrance space under the curved roof and the spectators and VIP facilities above. The curved roof was formed from an analysis of the front fairings on motorcycles and how this related to the curved form of the fuel tank. The landscape can be treated in a way as too allow for direct connect with the museum, see the sketch below.

Under the grandstand would contain the other facilities that are required during larger events, like cafes, bars, stalls and shops and toilets.
Section 2 shows how the light well / slash roof support can be used to draw light down into the museum space below, highlighing naturally the cars or bikes on display. This section also shows just how close the Pit Lane now is to the Spectator in the museum and the grandstand, and clearly shows how the VIP will gain a views that are currently not available on the site.
