BALNEARIO DE VENTANILLA
Description Proposal for a permanent circuit, derived from a previous proposal by Mr. Bacciagaluppi (I don’t know anything about it). Main track should have been 3784 m long, with a main straight 1200 m. A shorter circuit should have got from this one by using a link 260 m - 853 ft long. Moreover, a circuit 5450 m long could be proposed. The building site is essentially flat, a little ascending towards North East. Average speed should have been approx. 185 km/h - 115 mph on main circuit (1’14"0 approx.) and 160 km/h - 100 mph on the shorter one. Nearby the track there should have been a grass strip at least 5 m - 16.4 ft wide and a service road 3.5 m - 11.5 ft wide; access to the track should have been every 200-250 m (656-820 ft). Safety equipment should have included armco and steel safety nets (multiple on corners A, B, E and F). There should have been 40 boxes, 4 m - 13.1 ft deep; pit lane should have been 8.5 m - 27.9 ft wide and separated from the track by an island with service position 1.2 m - 4 ft wide.
