Clumpside
After a couple of goes at editing tracks in the new archive tread, I decided to have a go at a track of my own. What do you think? Edits welcome!!
http://img153.imageshack.us/my.php?i...racewaylf0.png Clumpside. Length: 4 miles/6.4 kilometres (main) 2 miles/3.2 kilometres (east and west club circuits). The lap runs anticlockwise and starts with a shallow descent along the pit straight which continues in to Turns 1 and 2 (both 3rd gear), before almost immediately turning in to Turn 3 (2nd gear). this then opens out in to a straight which turns in to a blind Turn 4 (another 2nd gear). this then opens out again in to a downhill straight, which puts the cars under moderate braking and an overtaking opportunity in to Turn 5 (3rd gear). we then reach 2 fast kinks (6th/7th) that leave the old west circuit and in to the new east circuit (but giong in the reverse direction). another dipping long straight is then followed in to a fast 4 corner combo(all 4th), going in to the hairpin (2nd) this then goes in to two flowing right handers(4th and 5th respectively) leading to the back straight, reaching speeds of 200 mph+ before braking, after which we reach turns, 15, 16 and 17, leading us on to the west circutit and a chicane to finish the lap. |

I like it. I'd make a couple of changes here and there, but only minor

I like the speed of the circuit, but i think if i had that design, it'd probably be clockwise though..
Again, i like fast tracks, and this is fast. |

It lacks a signature, a corner or sequence that makes it really stand out. It would be fast certainly but it's also a litle bland.
Sorry, if that offends but you asked for opinions |

This is a fairly OK track. Tightening the left-hander Turn 8 might help overtaking there. I think the western track is good for touring car races. For a 1st design, the graphics look very nice.

Great track Tathrim, that sharp hairpin at the bottom of the track is great, its a great overtaking opertunity and gives the track a good balance of corners.
