This is a very large and fast 2 lane circuit, with an
extra long double straight (13 long), a very large radius 3/4 circle and
a douible intersection. This has been designed for a large open space,
such as a two car garage, with the straights running disgonally across
the area to maximise their length. This is a great track for your faster
cars, and really allows you to let them rip. Unfortunately, if you have
very old track like mine, its impossible to get a perfectly flat surface,
and so mine is prone to the odd sudden de-slotting on the main straight-aways,
when running flat out. The large radius bend is achieved using 1/2 straights
between each outer curve, but its not a perfectly smooth corner of course,
so the effect is not quite as nice as I though it could be. I was hoping
to be able to develop a long controlled slide all the way through, but
the cars tend to wiggle a little as they go from curve to straight and
back to curve, so you don't get as smooth a turn as I'd hoped. Still,
its a bit different, and its certainly fast. The double intersection makes
for some fun, but unless you want to risk damaging your cars, I'd advise
you to place these near curves like I have, to reduce the speed at which
the cars are likely to hit, if you are designing your own tracks.
Unfortunately I cannot find any pics of the actual track
itself. Not sure if I have lost them, or didn't take any to begin with.
If I do find any eventually, I will put them up on this page.
The fastest magnatraction car on this circuit was a Black
Lamborghini Diablo, in 11.557 seconds. The non-magnatraction cars were
not far behind, with a Ford 3L in 11.839, being the best of them. Shows
you how fast this track is compared to the smaller tighter tracks, as
the times are only 2 seconds slower than the medium sized two lane track
depicted on this site, even though its much longer.
