Using A.I. To Make Brand-New Formula 1 Tracks!

Today I dive into the world of A.I. and machine learning, to see if artificial intelligence has reached the point of being able to create brand-new Formula 1 tracks!

Damn, Tilke gonna be out of a job soon...thankfully

[kitn]

Me and my mates have made a few tracks in assetto corsa before, I'll let you know if we manage to make this one, it would be good fun to race around

There is a video of the hotlap on my channel with a download link in the description. We are no longer working on the project, but I hope you enjoy the track

Matt AI-mys is coming for the old Tilkeboi

[vincentian]

It would also be interesting how the elevation changes would affect the output of the AI.

[dyslexofficial]

Plot twist: This is how Tilke has been designing tracks all along

[roryhayes]

I love how he’s unknowingly recreated Istanbul

[davesmith]

Looks a bit like Aragon on the MotoGP calendar the thumbnail. Great concept.

[wheresaldocanoe]

Some of these belong in the r/RaceTrackDesigns subreddit. Fascinating video!

[dsdy]

please please PLEASE do a collab with Code Bullet, he can tailor a machine learning suite to your needs, and you can translate the art of track design into technical requirements for him, it will be fricking awesome!

To increase the amount of training data you can also flip and\or rotate the images. It's a common tactic in AI training.

Imagine someone actually building this on Asseto Corsa

[DonForceFeedback]

You can picture the pit entry is straight on at that last chicane, with a short pit exit to the outside of that second corner. Looks interesting as well in terms of flow, but as always its the overtaking opportunities that make or break a track.

A real life grand valley speedway would be an interesting one to see as well.

You should do some data augmentation. Turn/flip images, move the track within the image, zoom in/out a bit. That way you'd get more data.

[percy]

On the one hand, I find AI very interesting, and it's amazing what even everyday people can pull off just by accessing their browsers today. I feel that it needs to be said though, that the AI you were using had no specific push to create anything racetrack-like, there was no data of momentum, speed or resulting safety ratings involved. What you were doing in your part of the track creation, editing the corners, giving insight about how the chicanes and straights would work in building and breaking speed, all of this would be the next step in AI track creation. Of course, for that you need more powerful tools, more time and more resources, but I think that truly AI designed tracks are going to be another jump in the track design world.
Great idea, and great video. Have a nice day!

The title should be “How Tilke Designs Tracks”

[YuriJohnson]

Track looks great. Elevation is all it needs and it will probably be one of the best Modern GPs in formula 1

[twosecsted]

my biggest takeaway from this is that i'm apparently not the only person to do regular graphic design in After Effects!

[binchamers]

I think AI and Machine Learning can be extremely beneficial for the analysis of driver and car performance and for creating tyre strategies and such.

[SNKR]

That’s awesome! Gran Turismo needs to bring back the track editor haha

Next episode: taking only corners with the most overtaking spots per season (final corners + straight combination included) and do it again.
