I don't like how the template uses horizontal centering on several of its fields. See Mesa Marin Raceway for a particularly bad example. On my monitor I can't follow which field relates to which data. The template should have the field name at the top of the field IMHO. Why is it set to be centered?

Ah I see. The new one makes more sense. Gateman1997 ( talk) 20:00, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
I can't seem to get an image to display in the infobox. Please see Volusia Speedway Park Gamweb ( talk) 07:36, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, I know my english is not good!
I found in the article Nürburgring an error in the track discription. The fourth lap record shall be a F1-record, but this is wrong. I think, I found the reason, is it an error in the template. Every value ends with 4, but the last value Record_class3 ends with 3? -- Pitlane02 ( talk) 08:13, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
{{{Record_time4}}}|{{{Record_driver4}}}, {{{Record_team4}}}, {{{Record_year4}}}{{#if:|, {{{Record_class3}}}
Would it be possible to modify this template to include length in meters and feet, along with number of turns. This would allow for information for drag strips on drag racing both from the National Hot Rod Association and from the FIA European Drag Racing Championships. Any thoughts on adjusting this as such?

Since many venues close and re-open - might it be possible to jig the Opened, and Closed lines and include perhaps Opened2 and Closed2 to include when tracks re open many years after closing the first time? -- Falcadore ( talk) 05:40, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Would it be possible to set the "length" parameters so that only one would need to be filled in, with the other automatically being set via {{ convert}}, similar to how {{ Aircraft specs}} works? - The Bushranger One ping only 00:34, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
When only length_km is filled, there is bug :
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Penbay_International_Circuit&oldid=559020515
It "asks for" length_mi. But few people use miles !
Can some change the code to avoid this bug ?

Can you add a parameter for longest straight? Maybe it should be discussed whether this is relevant to all different possible circuit layouts or only to the single longest straight available, I propose the latter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.230.20.209 ( talk) 12:51, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
Quite a few pre-Formula 1 Grand Prix race records have insufficient "Fastest Lap" data if any at all. More often, (completed race) times for the top finishers are furnished as the only means to determine the circuit record holder. Venues with multiple different layouts and race distances over more than a couple of years in their history, complicate establishing the circuit record for a given layout variant and period of use unless the median speed average is calculated for every race winner of that period. If venue "xyz" runs 250 km races on a 10 km circuit for 5 years and then 325 km races on a 4.27 km circuit for another 5, then a "race distance" and "race time" input field would help to get the circuit record time for that configuration period (a small "built in" (time/distance) converter could fill that data automatically...lol).

The Road America article has it (an embedded Template:Infobox NRHP). I also see several other infoboxes with maps. Maxtremus ( talk) 22:08, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
I frequently (at least once or twice a week) see (presumably well-intentioned) editors changing the details in the "(Race) lap record" field to the details of the outright lap record, only for the change to be subsequently reverted (often by me). I was wondering: would it be worth adding an "Outright lap record" field (for each layout) to avoid all the back-and-forth? The outright lap record of a circuit does seem to have some notability - the Sky Sports F1 commentators always make mention when the outright lap record for a F1 circuit is broken, as do the Fox Sports commentators when the outright lap record is broken for a Supercars circuit.

Would it be possible for someone to alter the template so to link the 'FIA Grade' subheading to the related article? I feel as though, despite its viability, the article is a bit of an orphan as it stands. Holdenman05 ( talk) 09:19, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
Is it possible to add a 'logo' item to this template? Double stacking it under 'image' is not ideal. Thank you in advance. -- Ben Stone 03:38, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
Done (and integrated as a test case at Indianapolis Motor Speedway). Please ping me if there are any problems. Please revert my changes if there are any serious problems. -- kingboyk ( talk) 22:18, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
I noticed this edit [1] (by Apeiro94) removing what I believe to be quite relevant information, and replacing it with what I would consider to be irrelevant information with regard to a lap record. But then there's no arguing with the fact that the current template has "record_team" and not "record_car". Should we phase out the team to replace it with the car? Is there any value in giving the team? To me it seems very arbitrary, especially since for many older records the "team" is not clear, nor informative. A7V2 ( talk) 04:49, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
Could we add a dedicated parameter for a track diagram/map? Currently, a lot of the pages that use this incorporate the diagram using the image parameter. However, if there's another image that shows the actual venue like in Kansas Speedway, they have to share the image parameter, which is not optimal.
I'd also prefer if the diagram was placed below all of the infobox statistics. I don't think it's as-important as the logo or an actual image of the venue. Lectrician1 ( talk) 01:15, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
I tried to maximize the number of layouts in infobox as 10-13-15. But it could not solve the issue on the infobox of Silverstone Circuit. Is it possible to easily increase the layout number in this infobox from 9 to 15? Or, is it not? Apeiro94 ( talk) 16:20, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
Suggest removing this as in most places it is misused - with only one timezone listed 90.241.211.138 ( talk) 08:29, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
