The main reason being that there were too many features.
I know that with the space available you can go mad and put loads of stuff in there, but I found that the back straight was the only place where there wasn't any obstacles. There was a jump of some sort either on every corner or in between every corner.
It is nice to just go and race wheel to wheel as well as do some jumpin.
Obviously you don't want TC tracks, but some places to race on the track would be nicer.
You look at a 10th track and they tend not to too have many features, so you can race against people without landing on them just because they've turned into the corner after the jump and you take the jump longer. |
The national tracks this year are better without a doubt, most of the clubs that held a round of the nationals last year were relatively new to building tracks for micros, and thought that they needed to be tight and twisty.
But with most peeps running big hairy brushless systems this year hopefully the tendancy will be for more balls out type tracks like the 10th guys run on indoors .....
