Let's Name the Turns on Hirochi

I Was referring to This

 

Yeah, It's alright.

 

I think the best names for things come about organically, its like saying to your friend within your clique "Hey, you're the only one in the clique without a cool nickname, any ideas???" usually the results are super corny, and usually the names don't stick when this happens, names for things that happen in the spur of the moment are the most memorable.

 

Yeah, but I like to think that people take a long time to think about what name they give the turn. Or the name may evolve and change, and that's cool too.

 

The Banhammerhead.

 

That's from Automation: The Car Company Tycoon Game. I want original names.

What about "Hutchinson Chicane", name after LJFHutch

 

Hirochi raceway is in Maine, as evidenced by the license plate design which automatically loads with the map. However, it is possible that Hirochi encourages broadcasts of races there to reach Japan on a fairly regular basis, so there may be a situation in which each turn has an English name and a Japanese name.

I've got a headcanon that the original circuit of Hirochi raceway (as detailed in the "Forgotten Raceway" scenario) was originally built by one of the in-game American car companies, who added some alternate routes (the first one shown with blue dashed lines in the image below) in a bid to attract national-level road course racing to the track.

The track was then sold to Hirochi sometime in eighties, either when the company folded (if Burnside was the original owner), or needed to sell off assets in order to raise funds for the development of a new model. Hirochi would go on to build the remainder of the track, restore the original grandstand, and make other improvements to the track infrastructure.

Anyway, to get back on topic, meet Basset Hound Bend:

During the 1970 racing season, a mechanic for the official Gavril Racing Team who, after being left alone to lock up the garage, took an unauthorized test drive in the race-prepared Kingsnake that had been delivered the day before.

Accompanying him on his clandestine twilight drive was Buster, a basset hound who served as the team’s unofficial mascot, a task which the primary driver would later recall as being “mostly consisting of sleeping, scratching fleas, and barking if the boys from Bruckell got within ten feet of the garage door”.



As the car came through the turn, Buster apparently spotted some woodland animal moving in the bushes and leapt out of the passenger-side window.

Startled by the sudden movement, then occupied by looking back to see what had happened to Buster, the mechanic failed to notice the left front tire dropping off the side of the track and dragging the car into a nearby tree!

Fortunately the tree was fairly young at the time and was uprooted enough to cushion the blow. Between this and the fact that the Barstow had impacted on the passenger side, the mechanic was able to stumble back to the pits and make a phone call to the team manager.

Buster was also lucky. The team would quickly find him “Upside down, hopelessly tangled in a bush, barking and screaming like he had been run clean over.”

Unfortunately, the Barstow could not possibly be returned to race-ready condition in time for the event the following day. A production Kingsnake was located a dealer thirty miles to the north, and a desperate race began to get the car to the racetrack, strip out certain parts, and salvage the roll cage from the damaged Kingsnake,

This would turn out to be a blessing in disguise: The primary driver had been having trouble adjusting to the original Kingsnake, noting that the steering seemed awfully stiff, and the car had a tendency to pull slightly to one side and then the other. The new car had no such issues, and would go on to several podium finishes over the following two years.

Even today, if you enter the racing headquarters of Gavril’s factory team, you will find a picture of Buster hanging on the same wall as famous team members, with the following plaque below it:

“Barstow” Buster

1968-1985

A lifelong member of the Gavril Racing Team, Buster remained faithful to our ambitions in the way only a dog can.​

 

Great story! I really like this. Some of the turns should probably be in English then.

Where? That chicane is already named Hareken

 

Gabe Ster´s turn

(i just love making stories)

 

Can we just call it Gabster's turn?

 

nice idea,why don´t name all the courses turns after the staff and the members with most ratings?

 

Yeah, I was starting to do that with Synsol Kona/Corner
