Wanted to make something quick so came up with this. Nothing special but the AI does give run for your money. Use
General for optimal AI. Have fun!

Frankly I wouldn't believe you'll make other tracks, after all those years of creation.
It represents you and your work quite well : micro track, little abstract and original.
I like the asian theme in general and that's the case in your track too : the black brush stroke, the red asian (chinese maybe ?) character signature, zen garden with simplistic and few elements as it must be...
AI is challenging enough at lvl 100 in General, and going too much wide results in a spectacular entry in the pit stops.
My first strategy was to hit a little the bush then wait for the AI driver behind me to push me and put me back again on track and to slow him down.
Thanks for this track TuomoH, good comeback !

I don't see myself stopping even though I come back to GR quite seldom these days. Trackmaking has been one of my biggest loves and every time I do start GR, I feel the itch to create something. Sometimes it results to something, other times not.

It's a Japanese kanji that stands for zen.
The Chinese character is very much alike.

Hehe, good to hear about an alternative strategy.
Thanks a lot for your feedback, Kikwik! It's nice to see how much you put effort to commenting the few new tracks there are these days.

I quickly tested this one. Have to say that it's easier with slower cars. With the General it's a challenge indeed, especially as it has so little downforce it always wants to escape to the pits unless you ride around the bush perfectly
It's a nice short track, and racing here is entertaining, also because one lap can be driven in such a short time
Maybe the scenery at the top could have been a bit more exciting but I think you wanted to keep it clean and simple. Keep it up!

I too thought it was too empty so I added those hay bales.
But yes, this was what I aimed for.
Thanks for the comments, XYY.
