Track design thoughts...
We've posted a couple of tracks in another thread and I thought it might be good to create a thread about tracks so that everyone has a chance to give some input...
To recap, a couple of tracks have been suggested for the next couple of meets: For the 17th: For the 24th: Anyway, this is more light hearted. I came up with these two (had a spare hour...) based on real tracks: Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya Road America: I am not suggesting we do these tracks, I'm simply trying to spark some discussion |

Tbh they all look good,
Best thing is to try them and see what happens,the one with the straight up the middle usually leads to a few more mishaps with batting cars landing on it as a car hot foots it up it,but it is a nice one to race on though |

These look ace mate - problem with recreating F1 circuits is that they often have empty spaces, but these fill the floor quite well. Could you also do Interlagos?

I could do
It is all about finding the ones that could fit in the rectangular space easily and using a lil creativity to fill out the space well... I could have done Indianapolis, that was the easy route |

Maybe also look at Moto GP tracks as many of these have a rectangular footprint and have a good tight in-field:
Estoril Sachsenring Mugello Valencia

Interlagos...
Might be a lil dangerous at Subida Los Boxes as touring cars leave the track at 50 MPH and go into someone's face Maybe a couple of obstacles to create a chicane before it. PS: Estoril is probably perfect! |

Estoril:

I suspect these would be a pain to put together though But it would be cool to have at least one track based on a real life circuit
........ If only Martin could build a 1/10 scale version of the Laguna Seca corkscrew. Here's my Mini going down it |

These are awesome.
That mini looks cool. Yh the corkscrew would be brilliant.

OK, we have discussed replicating 1:1 race tracks. But how about replicating world class RC tracks?
I give you Oulu 2013 EFRA European Championships, the real track: As recreated in VRC: As recreated by me, and mirrored for safety: A couple of videos of the real track: |

Looks like it will fil the hall nicely.
I say "if it looks good, run it!"

I like the look of that!, the buggies might find it a bit tight but everything else should be fine.
