New Track in Georgia

I really like this layout and think that it will be a lot of fun to race on. I also think that it will lend itself nicely to scenery. The alteration to the turn coming off of the lower straight should allow you to reverse the bridge, if you want to. The new layout also leaves that "triangular" piece of land to the left of the bridge. This area is a terrific location for some kind of scenic feature such as an old building or dramatic natural element.

It seems like you are pretty well set on the size and shape of the table. It might be a good idea to build the table now, so that when you tryout the track you can evaluate lines of sight from the drivers positions. The view of the lower back striaght might be blocked by the pit building you are planning. You can use some cardboard to simulate a pit building when you are testing the track.

This is going to be a fun one to watch unfold. Keep us posted with your progress.

Not guilty! My comments were to put a larger radius curve at the end of the front straight, implement increasing radii curves and raise the back straight (reverse the bridge). I have esses on my track and I think that they add nicely to the driving experience. I will say however, that the removal of the esses on Nikko's track has created a nice bit of space that would allow for some kind of scenic transition from the straight, fast part of the track to the curvey part of the track.

The racing line on my track was built as a scenery element. They are functional though, because they serve the same purpose as track border pieces - they just look better. I race mostly without magnets and make good use of the wider corners. I also race 1:24 cars and in that case the extra width on the outside of the corners is essential.
