OK here we go. My Goodwood Track thread.
I have some of the sections started, most finished and some of the sections still to go. Mostly due to the fact the I am learning more and more about the Goodwood circuit and how its driven. I keep changing my mind but I'm nearly decided on the final shape. I've watched countless hours of in car footage of drivers negotiating the final couple of corners from Lavant through the Woodcote corner and down to the chicane and I find they drive these corners pretty much as one giant right hand turn so I just made it so you'll have to balance the car at speed in a giant slide. I started making the track corners exactly like the aerial photo of the track but found it was a bit too slot car-ish and the cars would pendulam on the guide maybe a bit too much. Also, as you can see from the following photos, the track is 4 lanes and this final section is one giant squeeze. This is mainly due to the fact that my boys grow and get faster and faster/ there'll be little chance to pull alongside and pass as I guess they'll just pound around this track pretty much on the limit. Although the squeeze section is just wide enough to fit past..just! So perhaps make the corners through here work best suited to the slot cars and get used to the fact that I wont win many races around here anymore. So here are the first couple of photos and I look forward to everyones comments..enjoy.

No feelings needed. He said that it was. Save the pictures out of this thread if you want to be able to look at it in fondness in the future. The forum has a really nifty "Download this topic" selection in the Options menu at the top of the page that will export the entire thing, pics and all, to a file type of your choice. Always a good idea for favorite topics that has photos that may not last long.
I have learned something new...I didn't know about this option. Thanks Greg!

That is a very useful feature, thanks for pointing it out.

I have downloaded this one and tried the S-Ring thread which is truly awesome in the real sense of the word but sadly, maybe because of the way his pics are hosted, none of them will download with the file. Rats!
