... it's a piece of art you can race on. The racing surface is mostly ice but there are also tarmac patches giving you more grip. Use General.

As usual, comments and criticism are welcome. :cool2:

In other words, a realization of a creative and extraordinary idea of you. ;) That is also the reason why I like your tracks so much, as you surprise me and others realizing your unique ideas to GR tracks. :o :bg:

Besides, the 'piece of art' is not the only special fact of it. It is imho a counter-argument to the fact that writings on tracks look ugly.

So, what else is there to comment on that? Nothing, aside from a rating of 5/5 stars by me. :clap:

As long as I can race on it, it is a track IMHO. :D

Unfortunately the layout isn't most exciting one (in bottom half of map after first turn to the 'not' could be done bit more). :shrug:

I agree with the title. :) And hope for new this-is-a-tracks.

I wanted to keep the layout simple to focus on the looks. And making something else to the bottom half would've defeated the purpose of having those tarmac patches for higher speed. :)

Yes, disagreement is what I want to see here. :D Depends on your definition of a track. ;)

More opinions?

Hope the GR-equivalent of Duchamp's Fontaine isn't on your to-do list ;)

Don't worry, wasn't planning on making that. :rofl:

Still some comments?

Your tracks are usually way beyond the frames of classical trackmaking, and so is this gem. :bg: I can only say how much I like the idea, and if I may say, it would be cool if a part of the text (or at least one or two letters) were somehow cleverly object-made, not painted on lmap. It could present another obstacle on the way and make the track look even more artistic.. Just a thought. ;)

Thanks a lot, egamad. :) Definitely not a bad idea about the object-made letters but I've got no intentions to back to this track anymore. ;)
