Hi Maveryx,

 

A solution to last week’s challenge can be found here.

 

Welcome to the second lap of our Weekly Challenge based on the Inspire 2024 Grand Prix. Get ready to dive deeper into this challenge and showcase your spatial skills!

 

The Silverstone racetrack owners offered McLaren some space inside the track for their VIP area. Using the provided Silverstone racetrack spatial object and data for the point that represents the finish line, your job is to find a zone within the interior of the track that meets the following location and capacity requirements. Then, calculate how many seats will fit in that VIP zone.  

 

Requirements for the VIP zone: Ayrton_Senna_Marlboro.jpg

 

  1. Only areas inside the track should be considered, and for safety reasons, the edge of the VIP zone cannot be within 10 meters (0.01 kilometers) of the track.

 

  1. For optimal viewing, the VIP zone should be within a 100-meter (0.1-kilometer) trade area of the finish line.

 

  1. VIPs should have a maximum capacity of 1 person per 10 square meters of space. 

 

What is the total number of VIP seats (no partial people allowed) that McLaren can fit inside the designated VIP zone?

 

Hint: Once you calculate square kilometers available within the constraints, multiply that by 1,000,000 to get square meters, divide that by 10, and round down to the nearest whole number to determine the number of VIP seats available.

Feel free to use the hints provided within the workflow.

Good luck!
