Project historical review
The history of cars racing can be back over 120 years to the late 1800s in France.
Moreover, the first organized contest was on April 28, 1887, it ran 2 kilometers. It was the
first-ever organized races were held, it was between cities, which would gradually develop
into the many different types of car racing we know today. Race cars have developed
alongside the auto industry to produce faster, safer and innovative vehicles. Motoring events
start after the construction of the first successful gasoline-fuelled automobiles.
Figure 3: views of old F1 circuit
• Motorsport and race track in western countries:
The Milwaukee Mile s the 2nd oldest motor racing track in the world, with racing being
held there since 1903. It was not built for motor racing, it started as a horse racing track in the
19th century. The first purpose-built race circuit was opened in 1907 in Brook lands,
England, featuring a three-mile concrete surface and steep banked curves. The Brook lands
circuit was the first to be built specifically for car racing. By the end of World War, cars had
been further developed for speed and featured smooth improvements as well as more
powerful engines.

Formula 1glossary
Aerodynamics - an intrinsic part of Formula One, a study of how air flows over and around
an object.
Apex - the point at which the racing line meets the inside of a corner, hitting the apex leads to
the fastest theoretical way round a corner.
Camber - the angle of the wheel and tire in relation to the track surface
Cockpit - the area of a car where the driver sits, effectively his office
Down force - the aerodynamic force which pushes a Formula One car down into the track as
it moves forward and improves traction and handling through corners
Drag - the effect of a cars aerodynamics at high speed, the more drag a car generates the
more resistance it has to the air at high speeds
Formation lap - sometimes referred to as the warm up, green flag or parade lap, when cars
complete one full lap from their grid spot immediately before the start of the race
G-Force - a physical force equal to one unit of gravity which is multiplied during changes of
speed or direction. Drivers experience serious G-Force when they corner, brake or accelerate
Gravel trap - an area of gravel on the outside of a corner designed to reduce the speed of a
car which leaves the circuit. In modern tracks more often replaced by run-off areas which
allow the car to rejoin the circuit
Gurney flap - a small flap on the edge of the wing mounted at a right angle and designed to
increase down force
Green circuit - a track surface which is still very clean with little rubber on its surface, it will
produce slower lap times because there are fewer grips. Temporary or road circuits are often
referred to as green
9
Installation lap - the first laps done at the circuit, to test functions such as throttle, brake and
steering settings before returning to the pits
In-Lap - a lap on which the driver enters the pits
Marshal - a course official, normally a volunteer, who has numerous jobs which ensure the
safe running a race, including giving flag signals and reporting the facts of an accident
Marbles - small pieces of rubber that wear off the tires during a session, these build up off
the racing line making the track surface slippery
Podium - where the top three finishers are awarded their trophies.
ParcFerme- a restricted area into which cars are driven after qualifying and the race, no
work can be done on a car and no team members are allowed access to the cars unless under
strict supervision of race stewards
Pit board - a board displayed to a driver from the pit wall to pass on information. This is
normally race position and the gap to the driver in front. It is also used to signal the driver to
come into the pits
Pit wall - where the team owner, manager and engineers spend the race
Pits - the area of the circuit separated from the pit straight by the pit wall in front of the
garages. Where the cars brought for pit stops
Reconnaissance lap - the lap the drivers complete on leaving the pits and heading to the grid.
Drivers may carry out numerous reconnaissance laps but have to pass through the crowded pit
lane
Run-off area - the space on a circuit between the racing surface and the tire wall, designed to
allow cars to safely return to the track
Sectors - the three sections the circuit is split into for timing purposes

General information
2.2.2. B. Project description
Yas Marina Circuit is more than advanced motorsports tracks its include many
functions and home to Abu Dhabi’s Formula 1, it also a place for many event and social
interaction. Yas Marina Circuit is the only motorsports place in the world that offers covered
and shaded grandstands throughout the facility. Yas Marina Circuit have the region’s most
modern, full-service venue for meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions.
22
The main concept of Yas Marina Circuit is to encourage the growth of sporting
culture in the UAE and to create a center for motorsports excellence in the Middle East.
Furthermore, to build a motorsports community by creating a destination for the most
exciting motorsport experiences in the world.
2.2.2. D. Design concept
Yas Marina Circuit is the ideal combination of style and function. The Formula 1
track is 5.55 km long. This track can be dividing in to smaller tracks at 3.1km and 2.4 km
each can be used when need. The circuit includes twenty-one corners twist through Yas
Island off the Abu Dhabi coast passing by the marina. All major buildings of Yas Marina
Formula 1 circuit like team buildings, public spaces are designed to reflect a successful
symbiosis between the high-tech environment of the race circuit and traditional culture.
About 50,000 spectators can view the action on the circuit from the comfort of permanent,
covered grandstands and VIP facilities.
Yas circuit plan
23
Yas Marina circuit in detail
Yas Marina is considered a mid-range power track, although the power sensitivity is
lessened by the high concentration of low to medium speed bends in the back part of the
circuit round the Marina. Turn 7, the hairpin, is the slowest of the circuit and similar to the
challenges of the Grand Hairpin in Monaco. The engine braking needs to be particularly
effective for rear stability on entrance, but equally the response needs to be completely
correct as the hairpin exit leads onto the long back straight. Any hesitation will compromise
the entry to the straight and therefore the overall lap time.
Approximately 55% of the track is spent at full throttle, with average speeds of 190kph,
similar to the demands of Montreal circuit. The percentage is heightened by the two long
straights, the longest of which is the 1.2km straight between turns 7 and 8. The RS27 will be
at full throttle for 14secs here, reaching speeds of over 310kph. Calibration of gear ratios is
crucial: seventh gear must be set relatively long to allow a competitive end of straight speed
with DRS active. However the right-hand corners in the third sector require the gears to be
closely spaced to achieve the required short bursts of acceleration between tight corners, so
engine engineers will be forced to compromise somewhere along the line.
The third part of the track from turn 11 through to the final turn 21 features mainly right hand
corners that are taken in second or third gear. Turn 21 is a good example of a typical corner in
this section. The average speed is low; just 160kph so the RS27 will be set up to give good
drivability whilst being responsive for the short bursts of power between turns. Rear stability
is the key here since tenths of a second can be won if the car is „nailed‟ to the track in the
slow speed turns.

general fact
Project description
The Sepang International Circuit is a Motorsport complex. It is located near to kualalumpur
international airport, approximately 60 km south of the city. It is the venue used for the
different motor sport events national and international.
36
C. Concept &philosophy
The philosophy of creating Sepang F1 Circuit is to create a landmark for the motoring
sport and place to be „Home of Motorsports‟.
The main circuit normally raced in a clockwise direction. The track is 5.54 kilometres
long, the circuit comprises of a complex series of uphill and downhill turns built into the
natural topography of the track site providing a unique challenge to both driver and car. The
main circuit divided into two circuits North track and South track. The north circuit is also
raced in a clockwise direction. It is basically the first half of the main circuit it is 2.71
kilometres long. The south circuit is the other half of the track. This circuit is 2.61 km in
length.

Turn 1 is a big engine braking zone, coming directly after the pit straight where the engine
has been at full throttle for a touch under 11secs.
Turns 5 and 6 are two of the fastest corners on the track, taken at an average 225kph, with only a
small lift off between corners. The high speed changes of direction put the internals of the engine
under a lot of pressure,particularly the oil system,where the fluid saresquashed‟toonesidebythe g-
forces. In contrast to T1 and 2 where the pedal sensitivity is required is at low opening positions, the
driver will mainly be modulating the pedal towards its maximumtravels
Top speed will peak at the end of the straight at around 310kph with DRS activated. Getting the
right balance between a high top speed and appropriate acceleration is critical, making the choice of
gear ratios crucial: you want to hit top speed just before the end of the straight to take advantage of
greater acceleration. How the car behaves at this cruise speed will also be important for the driver.
It needs to be smooth, so as not to affect the longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle. A smooth
engine behavior at the end of straight will ensure that reaching the top speed will be as transparent
as possible for the driver and make overtaking easier. However, this can sometimes be difficult to
calibrate, especially at Sepang where you have two long straights of opposite directions, which can
mean that the wind can come intoplay

2.2.3. B Project description
The Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) is considered as one of the best international
racing car track in terms of technical aspects and architectural quality. The BIC had
recently won the award of the best international racing car circuit. Bahrain became
the first Middle Eastern country to host a Formula One Grand Prix. Bahrain International
Circuit (BIC) was built on a desert; the track sits about 30 kilometres south of the island
kingdom’s capital city, Manama.
46
BIC has encouraged the rapid development of local motorsport. The aim is to be
popular area for motorsport in the Middle East. And hosts big national and international
events
The BIC was intended to be interpreted into a genuine regional landmark using strong
Arabian architectural statements that reflect culture of the desert. the views around the site is
all desert which reflect the signature of a truly Arabian grand prix The design of BIC was
inspired by Arabic (Bedouin tent ) style of architecture . The track includes different tracks

ABOUT THE LOCATION:GREATER NOIDA
7 31’ 3’’ E
o
In the early 1980s the Government of India realized that the rapid rate at which
Delhi was expanding would result in chaos. So they planned to develop residential and industrial
areas around the capital to reduce the burden of rapid development on the capital. The two areas
which were developed were Gurgaon (across the border with Haryana) and Noida (across the
border with Uttar Pradesh). As a planned expansion, Noida's infrastructure and utilities was
carefully laid out. Noida was developed to be able to accommodate population growth for 20–25
years. But, with the massive influx to Delhi, it was overloaded in just 15 years.
The site for the project is
located in Greater Noida which falls within the Delhi - National Capital Region. The
metropolitan region of Delhi - NCR was notified in 1962 to relieve Delhi of developmental
pressures. Apart from Delhi, the NCR includes areas of participating states - Haryana, Uttar
56
Pradesh and Rajasthan. Covering an area of
33,578 square kilometres, this is the ninth largest urban conglomeration in the world.
Greater Noida is located in Gautam Buddh Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh and lies 40
kilometres south east of Delhi. It is an extension to Noida.

Greater Noida has the best planned infrastructure in NCR. This township is home to several
multinational firms and a large number of educational institutions. The land use profile is a mix
of residential, commerce & services, educational institutes and industrial zones.

TERMINOLOGIES RELATING F1
PITS
An area of track separated from the start/finish straight by a wall, where the cars are brought
for new tyres and fuel during the race, or for set-up changes in practice, each stopping at their
respective pit garages.
PIT STOP
Drivers get most of the attention, but Formula One racing remains a team sport even during the
race itself. The precisely timed, millimetre perfect choreography of a modern pit stop is vital to
help teams to turn their race strategy into success - changing a car’s tyres, replacing damaged
parts and adjusting front wings in a matter of seconds.
PIT LANE
The pit-lane at every circuit is divided into two lanes. The lane closest to the pit wall is known
as the ‘fast lane’, whilst the lane closest to the garages is the ‘inner lane’.
The FIA allocates garages and an area in the ‘inner lane’ where the teams may work, and within
each space is one position - or pit box - where pit stops may be carried out during practice

DATA COLLECTION
The functional planning brief of a motorsport facility include 3 basic elements:
1) The Track
2) Seating for spectators and support facilities
3) Facilities for Team & Their Management
THE TRACK
The track is the most essential and crucial element of a motorsport facility. It is the surface on
which the cars fight to be ahead of everyone, going even up to 300 km/hr. The layout of the track is
the deciding factor for a race to be competitive and exciting, the series of curves, chicanes and
straights presents the driver with opportunities of overtaking, thus making the race a treat to watch.
There are no standards for the design and layout of the track.
A typical Formula 1 Grand Prix race track usually features a stretch of straight road on which the
starting grid is situated. The pit lane, where the driver stops for fuel and tyres during the race, is
normally located next to the starting grid. The layout of the rest of the circuit varies widely,
although in most cases the circuit runs in a clockwise direction. Those few circuits that run in
anticlockwise direction (and therefore have predominantly left handed corners) can cause drivers
neck problems due to the enormous lateral forces generated by F1 cars pulling their heads in the
opposite direction to normal.
62
FIA CODES FOR TRACK DESIGN
1. Track width on a permanent circuit should be at least 12 meters and should not exceed 15
meters. There should be 3m minimum clear space along both sides of the track, usually
consisting of grass. Where the track width changes, the transition should be made as gradually
as possible, at a rate not greater than 1m in 20 m total width. The width of the starting grid
should be at least 15m; this width must be maintained through to the exit of the first corner (as
indicated by the racing line). The gradient of the start/finish straight should not exceed 2%.
2. The maximum length of any new permanent circuit should not exceed 7km to allow drivers
to be able to familiarize themselves with all corners on the track. The minimum length of the
Formula One circuit will not be less than 3.5km, with the race being no longer than 2h45min.
3. Cross fall across the track for drainage purposes should not exceed 3%, or be less than
1.5%, either from edge to edge or from the centreline to each edge.
4. Transversal inclination, drainage: - In curves, the banking (downwards from the outside
to the inside of the track) should not exceed 10% (with possible exceptions in special cases,
such as speedways).
63
An adverse incline is nt generally acceptable unless dictated by special circumstances, in which case
the entry speed should not exceed 125kph.
5. Track edges, verges and run-off areas: A run-off area is an area of ground between the verge
and the first line of protection. A run-off area should be graded to the verge. If the area has a
slope, this should not exceed 25% upwards (does not apply to gravel beds) or 3%
downwards, with a smooth transition from track to run-off area, in relation to the lateral
projection of the track surface.
6. starting straight:- For standing starts, there should be at least 8m length of grid per car.
There should preferably be at least 250m between the start line and the first corner. By corner,
in these cases only, is understood a change of direction of at least 45°, with a radius of less than
300m.
7. Barriers:- A smooth continuous wall or a barrier for probable car impact angle <= 30 degree.
A run-off zone consisting of gravel or grass as run-off material and a tyre wall acting as a
barrier for probable car impact angle > 30 degrees.
BARRIERS & SAFETY MEASURES
Some barriers also slow the car by momentum transfer: the car collects heavy parts of the
barrier, and by the principle of conservation of momentum, its speed is reduced proportional to
the increase in the mass of the car plus the barrier.
64
In a side impact however, the wheels and side pods, which are full of impact structure and
crushable radiators and exhaust, engage over 3 meters of a barrier. Both cases must be catered
for and the barrier characteristics are inevitably a compromise. No one- barrier system is ideal
for all situations, and the solutions vary according to the site on a circuit.
It is possible to accurately predict how and where a car will impact, but it is possible to make
reasonable estimates of where they are most likely.
Straights are a particular case. Due to the increased probability of component failure at high
speeds, and the opportunity for overtaking (and therefore running into another car) that they
provide, accidents do happen on straights. It is normal to place the barrier close to the track
edges as this prevents a high velocity being developed perpendicular to the barrier. Most of the
velocity, and hence energy to be dissipated is along the barrier.
The driver will, even in this extreme case, normally be all right, but it is desirable that the car
does not rebound back onto the track in front of the cars. Instead, it should slide along the barrier,
shedding and destroying parts and dissipating its energy as it does so. Concrete walls provide these
characteristics very effectively and this is why they are still the best solution for straights.
Lining the edges of the track with a rigid wall does not work once the geometry of the
circuit causes perpendicular impact velocities above about 60-80 kph i.e. when straights lead into
corners that require the cars to brake heavily to reduce the speed of entry. In these cases the barrier
itself must be able to absorb significant amounts of energy, but even the best barriers are not yet
able to stop a car from high speeds in a short distance. The approach taken is to use as much space
as is available to slow the car.
Run-off areas are provided to generate a low level of deceleration, and to enable the driver
to attempt to sort it out and rejoin the track, and the boundaries are lined with barriers, the
specification of which is determined by the likely residual velocity and the direction of impact.
65
The thickness of the barrier is one of the most critical parameters that determine its performance –
the greater the distance available to decelerate the car, the lower the average deceleration and the
softer the barrier can be constructed.
Temporary road circuits are often built using connected concrete blocks, as are sometimes
used as temporary barriers on roads. When a car hits one of these, it may actually move one or more
blocks, each of which weighs over a ton. The action of moving the block increases the instantaneous
effective mass of the car, and hence reduces the velocity by momentum transfer.
Concrete looks pretty unforgiving as a barrier material, but in the right application it serves very well.
It also withstands impacts without much damage, and so does not require refurbishment or
replacement before racing can continue.

of wheelchairs, located reasonably close to the designated viewing area;
− Medical facilities which, although not necessarily for the exclusive use of the disabled, have
been designed with them in mind, with appropriate ease of access; paved pathways permitting
wheelchair movement between the above facilities.
SEATING FOR SPECTARORS & SUPPORT FACILITIES
The second element in a motorsport facility is the GRANDSTAND which accommodates the seating
76
of the spectators, their support facilities and requirements of the management.
LOCATION/ SITING:
− The spectator stands should be sited in a way so that maximum number of spectators has their
backs facing the sun. Access gates are therefore situated at either of the sides. The turnstiles are
positioned so as to direct the stream of visitors to the various arena entry points. Access into the
arena is often through an embankment formed from the excavated earth or via stairways
leading halfway up the terraces to a point from which the rows above & below can be reached.
− There are three primary sets of requirements which should be clearly defined & kept in proper
focus while designing sports arena. They are:
1. General planning requirements
2. Spectator requirements
3. Operation/ management requirements
GENERAL PLANNING REQUIREMENTS
 PROJECTED USES
Among the first program criteria to be determined regarding multipurpose arenas is the list of
projected uses or events which are intended to be booked into the arena. Many events require their own
unique features or support facilities which if not included in the original design and construction prove
very difficult and costly to provide at a later date, for instance the proposed project infrastructure can
be utilized as a venue for Rock concerts, Stage events, Conventions, Exhibitions.
 SEATING CAPACITY
The establishment of maximum seating capacity should be carefully evaluated prior to start of design.
Several factors are important in making the determination including:
1. Market area
2. Professional franchises
77
3. Sponsor/ owner
4. Budget
5. Viewing distance limitations
The market area, whether it falls within a large metropolitan region or a small college town, should
have an influence on determination of optimum seating capacity. The overall size of the market area
radius will depend not only upon total area population but largely on available highways and mass
transit facilities. The nature of the potential audience must also be analyzed as to income levels,
spending habits, and recreational preferences.
The nature of the owner or sponsor of any new arena will have some influence on the capacity decision.
Arenas built privately as profit- making ventures will tend to be even larger, as well as to book a wider
variety of attractions. Their economic success depends largely on creative and energetic promotion to
keep “dark time” to a minimum.
In cases where an overall construction budget has become fixed prior to any physical planning or
programming, this alone may establish the maximum capacity. Construction coats end circumstances
very too widely to attempt to quote here any cost per seat figures that would not be misleading. Too
often it is a short sighted decision to hold on to capacity at the sacrifice of material and systems quality
which will have long-term penalties in operating and maintenance costs.
Possibly the most relevant factor in the determination of maximum capacity is that of optimum
viewing distance. The limitations of normal visual activity make any seating falling outside a radius of
200ft from the centre of action together with a seating height limit above the floor of 65 to 70ft
increasingly marginal.
PLAN CONFIGURATION
78
STRAIGHT ROWS:
The Straight –Row arena is the simplest and most economical of all possible seating configurations.
There is also minimum waste of seating area due to the absence of wedge- space sections between
aisles. The seating sections are of course rectangular between pairs of parallel aisles .The aisle spacing
can be based upon the desired seat width and the maximum seats allowed between aisles ,and it will
remain constant for all rows.
SEATING AND SIGHT LINES:
-The study of spectator sight lines in section should proceed simultaneously with development of the
arena plan configuration. Sections should be at both the arena axis and several intermediate points in
any curved plan configuration to verify the arrival point of sight for the maximum number of seats.
-It is assumed view will be between heads of person’s one row in front of and over the heads those two
rows in front. Looking straight ahead , a spectator will have a reasonable wide angle of vision between
two heads immediately in front.
-When plotting graphically or calculating sight line sections, assume a spectator’s seated eye level at
1200 mm above tread elevation and 125 mm from eye level to top of head. The arrival point of sight
should be made to fall at 1050 mm above floor level.
TREAD AND RISER DIMENSIONS:

79
-Tread width of rows should vary between 800mm and 900 mm. The wider dimension is generally
used in the lower tiers of seats which ore of shallow slope and where the extra comfort is
commensurate with their premium cost. Any tread width below 800mm should be avoided if possible
especially if upholstered seats are used. In addition to sacrificing spectator comfort, narrower rows
inhabit travel to concessions at intermissions and prove more time- consuming for maintenance
personnel to clean.
-Riser heights will vary from mm to 600mm. Generally risers can go up to 175mm. Before an
additional step must be added in the aisle .Risers over 325mm will require two steps and to
accommodate the two steps the tread must be at least 900mm wide.
AISLE WIDTH AND SPACING:
-Recommended aisle width is 900mm. Spacing of aisles is usually every 14 to 15 seats. Where seating
sections about a wall or railing, the dead-end distance should not exceed 7 seats.
CROSSOVERS –WIDTH AND SPACING:
-Crossovers aisle will be needed at one or more locations which run horizontally parallel to the
seating rows and connect the vertical aisles with vomitories leading under the seating to exits and
promenades.
-Crossovers width should be between 1.2-1.8m depending up on the spacing of vomotories. It should
80
be kept in mind that a bulkhead will be required at the rear side of the crossover and the tread of the
first row behind it raised to a height to allow sight lines not to be interrupted by the lower seats.
-Where site conditions permit, it is ideal to have both a lobby/promenade and a crossover aisle at or
near grade level. The seating can then be split with approximately one half below grade and one one-
half above, which very much simplifies existing problems.
-Crossovers at the top of balconies should generally serve not more than seven rows of seats. Aisles
running up from a crossover and dead ending at a wall or bulkhead should not serve more than 18 to
20 rows.
TEMPRORARY SEATING:
-For most events some amount of temporary seating must be set up to fill in the gap between the fixed
seating and the size of the playing surface. This will in some cases be flat on the floor or on shallow
riser platforms. To minimize labor cost for setups, the largest amount of the fixed bulkhead line.
-when riser heights are sufficient to permit it, these seats can be left attached to the platforms and
folded float to allow stands to be pushed against the bulkhead wall. Where this is not practical, the
seating and /or the platforms will have to be disassembled, stacked, and moved to storages areas in
other parts of the building.
CROWD MOVEMENT:
-Care should be taken in the design/planning process to avoid building in situations which will inhibit
the smooth flow of spectators through the public circulation spaces and to from the seating areas. This
should be true for normal traffic situations or avoiding panic in emergencies. Activities which involve
spectators waiting in lines must have sufficient room so that circulation is not blocked them behind.
-Toilet rooms must be laid out so that peak usage at intermissions is handled as fast possible to avoid
backups within rooms and the corridors.
-Shallow pitch ramps should be used wherever possible in lieu of stairs at floor level changes. If
escalators are used, ample room must be provided at their landings. Blockages must not occur and
81
force dangerous situation s as more spectators are forced into the space as they delivered by the
moving escalator.
Among the many important factors affecting spectator safety in an arena emergency, three
fundamental considerations are:
1. Escape Time: The number and width of escape routes should be designed to have an escape
time of eight times.
2. The provisions of alternative escape routes from all blocks of seats: There should be not
less than two exits available from every seat or any other point on a floor area giving access to at least
two alternative independent escape routes which will deliver people to the open air by way of”
• Final exits, or
• Protect routes leading to final exits.
3. Maximum escape travel distance from any seat to a protected route:
Travel in one direction-16 m.
Travel in one of the alternative directions, provided that an initial travel of 16m in one direction may
be included before the route divides to alternative directions-32m.
-The arrival of spectators happens relatively slowly so the widths of entrances & stairways have to be
calculated on the basis of flow of the spectator leaving the arena. This is when the flow rate is
Maximum.
SPECTATOR REQUIREMENTS
SEATING:
-The minimum recommended width is 450 mm, and they should vary up to 600 mm centre to centre
for the prime areas. In the wedge-shaped sections in curved rows, a mix of widths is usually used to
make the ends of each come out as flush as possible.
-Where risers are 150mm or over, seat stanchions should be riser-mounted to facilitate cleaning. Seats
82
should be self-rising with perforated acoustical treatment on the seat bottoms
-The necessary space for seating areas is calculated as follows:-
Width-0.5m
Depth-0.4m
-For every 750 spaces an escape route (stairway, ramp, flat surfaces) with a minimum width of 1.00 m
must be provided.
-to allow standing areas to fill and empty evenly, & to prevent dangerous overcrowding, they should
be divided in to groups or blocks of around 2500 places. Each block shall have its own entry and exit
points & should be separated from others by fences.
-Inside the blocks, diagonal surges of crowd will be prevented by providing a staggered arrangement
of crush barriers. It must be ensured that there is a suitably barrier, with a height of around 1.10 m
between every 10 rows of standing spaces.
CONCESSIONS:
-Concessions stands for food, beverages, souvenirs, coat checking should be provided at convenient
locations in the promenade areas. Counter areas should be as long as practical and if possible recessed
in alcoves to prevent backup of patrons into circulation spaces. Storage space should be immediately
adjacent to each counter area so that food items can be restocked to the sales area during a game or
performance without a trip to the central supply point.
TOILET ROOMS:
- Sets of man’s and women’s rest rooms should be provided at one or more locations on each
public level. It is ideal if a one-way traffic flow can be developed with an in and out doorway
separated by some distance.
83
- Within, the space should be divided with the water closets and urinals located near the entrance
and the lavatories in a space next to the exit. Also it is desirable if possible to design each toilet
room so that half of the space can be closed off by some means during events of small
attendance. This will save a good of operating cost for cleaning.
GRAPHICS:
-A good graphics and signing control program is important not only for attractive appearance, bit
for controlling and expediting crowd movement. Signing can help establish a clear pattern of
movement which can easily be comprehended by patrons.
-Seat colors in the arena can be keyed to ticket colors to identify the various areas or categories of
seating. This can be done on a horizontal basis rings of seat changing coolers as they change from
one price category to others. Or the arena can be divided in to quadrants each with its own color
key.
-First Aid rooms for the Spectators should be provided close to the spectator area. First aid
treatment of 20,000 or more spectators requires a suite room:
• Treatment & Recovery Rooms.-15Sq.M
• Store room-2Sq.M
84
• 2 toilets with ventilations.
• Emergency services-15Sq.M.
CATERING & HOSPITALITY:
-Circulation flow diagram for catering and hospitality spaces spread throughout the building alongside
is the circulation flow diagram for a stadium. Same principles of circulation could be applied to the
grandstand , except the fact that , in the grandstand seating is not all around the arena but one side
along the track. The other difference is that in motorsport grandstands the players and race officials are
catered in a different building . The circulation pattern for the public and VIP’S remain almost the
same.
OPERATING REQUIREMENTS..
PUBLIC ENTRANCES :
-The location , number and design of the entrances should be sufficient to ensure safe and speedy entry
and exit of the maximum spectators likely to use the grand stand at any one time. The Time usually
between doors opening and the start of a race is in a range 45-90 minutes.
TICKETING FACILITY:
85
-Tickets booths will be required in the lobby area or an outer lobby. They should be accessible to the
public during nonevent periods without loosing the security of the remainder building.
-immediately to the rear of the booths should be a large ticket room for storage and sorting advance
sale tickets. Also required will be a money room with Vault, Group sale offices, Ticket manager’s
office and a work area for storing event posters and making up ticket pricing boards.
-The ticket layout Should include An area of approximately 175-300m2 for:
• A counter which appears welcoming to the public yet gives protection to the staff, with up to
twenty selling points each with computer ticket booking VDU’s .
• An adjacent self-contained and private counter for use by event organizers, with serving
windows but not VDU’s.
• An office for the Box office manager.
• Space for up to 30 staff at any one time , sitting at desks and operating telephones and VDU’s.
• A secure room containing ticket stocks and possibly ticket printing Equipment.
STORAGE:
-Large bulk storage areas will be needed for a variety of uses. The temporary seating setups for the
arena floor will require space to store both chairs and raisers platform.These are usually Stacked on
metal pipe as high as ceilings will permit and handled with forklit trucks.
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES:
-In addition to the main administrative building ,office spaces should be available for building
manager , accounting , personnel,booking, publicity, and engineer which can serve as management for
the race event &for the use by shows booked in to the arena from the stands or into the main
administrative building.
.TICKETS CHECKING POINTS AND ACCESS CONTROL:
86
-The advisable arrangement is to separate the selling location from the actual entry points. A number
of control points should be located to allow spectators to enter at a comfortable rate that prevents
excessively large queues forming , but also allows rapid dispersal to the blocks of seating. Crowd
monitoring facilities should be incorporated into the turnstiles to count the admissions and check the
arena capability at any time.
PRESS FACILITIES:
-A press workroom with adjacent teletype room and toilet should be located near the lower seating
area. It is also desirable to include a lounge in this group with facilities to set up a small bar and food
service.
-A small Photographer’s work area and dark room should also be provoded at the arena floor level.
Location of the press varies widely . Many arenas Which have been built with elaborate press booths
high above the floor have discovered them unused , reporters , photographers preferring to sit near the
action.
FACILITIES FOR TEAMS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT
RACEWEEKEND:
-For any race weekend , about 20 basic team crew arrive at the circuit on Monday. On wendesday , the
remaining 30 members of the team arrive. Official practice begins on Friday. On Saturday , Qualifying
sessions begins foe grid position for Sundays Race. The qualifying sessions are followed by minor
adjustments in the car & untimed practise session. On Sunday , the race begins & with in the span of
next 2 hours the race finishes. The award ceremonies , interviews and car scrutineering take another 2
hours. By Monday the intire team and entire Equipment is out of the Circuit.
As far as accommodation is concerned , the mechanics & other members of the team are
accommodated on the circuit itself, either by having a hotel close to the circuit. The guests , Drivers&
bosses rarely spend night at Circuits.

87
SAFETY STAFF:
-75 Marshalls , 2 ambulance paramedics, 6 recovery crane operators, 20 fire fighters, doctors ,X-ray
technician ,nurses, cleaner , & supplies assistant at the medical Center.
-As per the regulation , a medical facility needs to be operational before the race have begun. About 10
medical personnel manage this, where as about 100 personnel are present all over the circuit at
vulnerable points.
-An emergency medical evacuation helicopter is present next to the medical facility in any case of
emergency transport to a hospital which is more than 45 minutes away from circuit.
TEAM PERSONNEL :
-Each team comprises of about 45-50 members in which 2 drivers , team boss, Team Technical
Director, Engine Technician ,Team director , Team manager, chief designer, spares manager ,12
mechanics (6 per car) 8 telemetry Engineers , 2 Fuel mechanics ,2 tyre mechanics ,2 logistical
personnel as well as guests.
PIT BUILDING:
-The pit building is located next to the pit lane. Its main function includes refueling and changing tires
88
during the race, assembling and maintaining the car, accommodate the officials to keep a check on the
race, for media to cover & process the information etc.
PIT GARAGES:
-Each team is provided with provided with two pit garages where they can keep their cars, service and
maintain them till the weekend. The size of each garage is approximately 750 Sq,M .with width of
– 4 m and 18 -22 m depth. A pit garage essentially consists of tables to keep equipment’s, a
panel of ceiling mounted monitors so as to keep a check on the race.
-Each garage has a back door entry of the size equal to the width of th garage to allow a car entry from
the paddock. Every garage is must equipped with toilet facility comprising of washbasins. , a W.C and
if possible a shower.
- For a matter of convenience, the 2 consecutive garages for a team are separated by means of light
weight partition so that it is easy for them to carry out maintenance work of the cars. On practice days
& race days, the rear area of the garage is converted into a mini lounge which is used by the team
management to get new sponsorship deals and promoters.
-For any track , the number of garage vary depending up on the type of event being promoted at that
track . It is advised that not more than 8 garages be arranged in row. It is preferred that the width of the
pit garages is kept in such a way that is flexible to accommodate , service & maintain for any type of
race varying from F1 racing
89
PIT WALL & TEAM STATION:
-The length of the pit wall shall be not least 4m adjacent to the starting straight. The Pit wall consists
of communications equipment; visual signage equipment required to instruct the driver and also
display monitors and screens to view & monitor the race and direct the racers accordingly.
-The material required for the construction of the pit wall is in essentiality a temporary covering laid
out over a platform of brick or concrete. The Pit wall should be at least 1.2-1.5 m width to provide
seating and equipment and should also have space wide enough for the signaler to standout and give
the directions accordingly and should be lined with protective guard rails that act as a screen for pit
walls.
