Hey Guys,

New Track. The Formula E circuit in Beijing.
Probably one of the hardest tracks to build for Generally...
But I got it into my head that I wanted to create the circuit (and the surroundings) and I spent the whole weekend and more on it...
The outcome is rather something to look at than something to drive on.
I tried to stick to the real size-relations between streets, buildings and chicanes, so the track ended up being VERY narrow most of the time.
Still, I hope you like!

@Np2003: I saw your preview in the preview-thread. Your track looks much more driveable than mine, so keep it up!

Oh my.. That's fu@%&ng awesome! When I saw this stadium... It's fantastic track. Nothing more to say.

5 stars just because of the perfect trackside. And also you get a ToM nommination

Tht stadium don't look perfect, but it's fantastic. You're great man!

Wait what? Awesome! Limits of GR? Yes, bird's nest is not like original, but IMO it is just awesome that it at least looks like a bit. I like it, really. TOM vote for sure.

AWESOME!!!!!

Awesome work, scholli!

Impressive effort, impressive work. Sis you considered about realising a clean version with dark grey lines?

Thanks for all the positice feedback! Really appreciate it.
IMO the track is far from perfect. I left out one chicane (compared to the original track) and the pit-tents are waaay to big. especially when compared to the stadiums. And there are a couple of other things that bug me.
I forget to put a shadow on the tent in the right-top corner.

Do you mean of the birds nest? I went with ice-lines because the base-colour is already dark and light tarmac. So ice was the only possible option.
BTW: ALL the lines on the stadium are hand-drawn in paint... what am I doing with my life?

I think he means on the roadways, changing the white lines to dark grey to make it a little easier to see the course.

Amazing track, and that stadium... But the last corner could bee tighter

exactly, use the oposite grey tone to do the white lines on the road.

Ui, late reply, sorry.
I wanted to keep the lines as close to reality as possible.
And because the streets in Beijing are often 3 or 4 lanes there´s a lot of painting going on.
But it´s definetly a good idea. Maybe I´ll do it someday.

Don't feel obligated, just kick off when you feel like doing it.
