Hey everyone

This is a track I made last year (May or June, I think). I updated it last week because I was finally able to complete it according to my plans. Before, the hedges were either grass or stacks of bushes. Because I went for a very minimalist, low-tech, plain-colored, (boring) design, the hedges ended up fitting a lot better.

It's fun to race on with three or four cars. I (unintentionally) did a 110 lap race earlier this week. I'd forgotten to set the lap counter to a more sane number, but I ended up doing the whole race anyway.

Tell me what you think. Hope you like the "trees" in the middle

Happy racing!

This is a really bad way, how to use invisible walls imho.

Otherwise nice experiment like the other you've done lately. I wonder if it will lead to some more ambitious track later?

Thanks for the comment

I put those walls there because you can sometimes get stuck on the wrong side of the "tree" if you get a push from the AI / give the AI a push. I've also never once hit any of them when racing, so I don't really see any downsides. What difficulties or problems did you experience?

As for future experiments; who knows. I've been trying different techniques (on and off) over the past year and a half (although I didn't even touch GR for a year until recently), so it'll probably come together in one big project at some point.

But then, I do prefer really small world sizes, so it may not

Well, after few laps I wanted to spice the layout a bit by doing few zig-zag drifts and loops between the trees and guess, what happened, those were completely unexpected.

If invisible walls, then at least in combination with a visible barrier or lmap (like on Tuomo's Dogville) to tell ''do not drive here'' or just cones, please.

Nice and very interesting experiment with the trees and the walls, plain tracks are usually not my cup of tea, but this one is not bad

Gimmicky "track". It looks like a bizarre skatepark. Do not want.

[nielske]

Camros: "Bizarre skatepark" and "I don't like it" -- okay, fair enough. But "gimmicky"? That one hurt But not entirely unfounded, I guess.

Ivo: Feel free to remove them, if you prefer

Dukla: Thanks! I'll make the next one more interesting looking.
