Hi [email protected]'s
Mr Flippant is dead right on the lane-length equality not being important.
Club-racer types may disagree on that one though.
I haven't bothered with equal lane length AT ALL for 10 years, it makes NO SENSE !!!
As a kid they tell you, that's how it should be, NONSENSE.
My current MRW Motor Speedway circuit has lanes of 15m & 14.5m, quite a difference !
Now tell me which lane is quicker ?
Yep.
The longer one by 2 or 3 tenths per lap.
I would concentrate on the compounding of the corners, as Mr Flippant says, & not pay ANY attention to lane length at all.
Cheers
Si.
You have the basis of an exellent plan.
When it comes to a 'corner', try & make it 'do one thing' not 'EVERYTHING at once'.
Hope that makes sense.
Look at the corner layouts & transitions of classic old-school race tracks.
Copy them, compress them a little, & you get good ideas for corner arrangements.
Thats what I do anyhow.
