Yes, sounds simple, but it isn't.

You must design a track. To designate a hill, draw //// over the incline, and an arrow pointing UP the hill. The drawing must be a map. For bonus points, give the course 4 hills. Must be original.

For this competition, the track must have:

A straight (small kinks allowed) of 1km
2 hairpins
A chicane
A long 180 degree turn going up, then down a hill
Total length shouldn't exceed 5km.


Alright, go!

Welcome back waggles... hmm.. sounds interesting, but i think Timbit will win if he tried.. lol

I've been on, I've just been lurking.

Don't be so sure. Track making has a whole lot more than just how pretty you can make it look. I feel a great track design will be judged in a higher regard than how well you can make the road look.

BTW, just to clarify, you want on over-the-top view, right?

LOL, i'll just copy Gille Villneueve track that's located in Montreal.


(Closest F1 track for me...)

i wonder if Google Ketchup would do good in these...time for a converter or something

Yeah...good 'ol Google Ketchup

I have three other questions:

How is the length going to be measured and/or policed? Do we need to set our own kilometre length designation?

How tight do the hairpins have to be to be considered hairpins? I mean, the Dunlop curve at the Nurburgring (South circuit, not the long one) is considered a hairpin, but that has a pretty big radius. I just don't want to get into the situation where a curve is considered too long to be a hairpin when it is considered by the designer as a hairpin.

How is the 'winner' going to be judged? Is there some list of criteria you are going to go through or are you going to be doing public/member voting?

I'm so doing this in LEGO Stunt driver.

I've got the most mind-bogglingly mind-boggling tracks on that game.

well I'm out of this one , the principal straight line of my dream track have the 5km - LOL
But I will post later just for show it to the world.

Just have |------1km-----|------2km------|

Tight, about 80-90km/h.

Member voting.

Here's my first drawing:

When I said the slashes designating the hills, I meant over the track.

This what you meant?

The slashes also designate how far the hill goes, so more slashes=gentler incline.

Hey Timbit, you can use that track you drew that you posted on your HyperPixel blog.
