Hey guys, I am in the process of building my permanent layout and i wanted to test a few tracks before and i think that this one is the best till now....! what do you think/suggest?

i am open for any kind of criticism don't worry!

(ignore the mess!!)

 

[AmoredBones]

Looks like a great track.

Cheers Nick

I wish I had the space for a circuit that size! I am really jealous of the nice long straight!

Plently of room for infield scenery and certainly space for a pit alongside the main straight.

Great circuit - dodgy rug!

 

[nwbands]

Looks great. Especially like the raised track section. Should look good with cars whizzing above and below... And that straight track section *drool*

 

[GLF483]

WOW guys!!! that was an extremely fast reply!!!!! Thanks....and regarding the rug! yeah i know....hehe been tellin my mum for ages!!!

(yeah i still live at home!)

 

[nwbands]

Put a couple of ramps on the long straight You know you want to

 

[Graymalkin33]

How long is that straight?
Do you keep tweaking it?

 

[GLF483]

nwbands: been there done that!!!

Graymalkin33: the straight is around 6m....i am not sure what you mean by tweaking it!>>??

Which way round you driving Clockwise or Anti?

Clockwise seems the most logical. However going Anti would have that sharp cornering section first, followed by some wider cornering allowing you to pick up some speed for that lonnnng straight *drool*

Tweaking it ............ I was refering to making small changes and adjustments here n there? This is why i do not have a permanent track cos i just cant stop tweaking.

GLF,
Just a thought, have you considered rotating the whole track through 180% so your long straight will be at the back of your track, why?
Where are you most likely to come off the track? Not on the straight I bet!

Hey, great layout! I thought I was the only guy who was crazy enough to set up a track right in the middle of the living room! Looks like I've got company too!

That's what i had (note the past tense - I had to dismantle it before the wife divorced me!)

So now looking to rebluild it somewhere, somehow
