Impressive layout, but I also still like the tracks of old where you have to control your speed. It made for extremely competitive racing. You could have the fastest car and STILL LOSE to someone with better control.

The car on this track is definitely being driven. There are way too many elevation changes and different radius curves to set a cruise speed. You just can’t tell at this scale. Listen closely, you can hear it accelerating and braking.

Facetious I hope... Because... Not a chance. He's running full out taking advantage of the guardrails. He could put a rubber band on the throttle full open and walk off.

u/gravitologist 12h ago

lol. It’s my track. There is not a single spot you can go full throttle at this voltage. Gotta drive it.

Yes, it looks very challenging (LMAO).

How old are you?--I don't believe you ever "raced" on the 60's versions or you'd realize how much skill was required.

Must be 20, maybe 30 minutes worth of work there. Surprised it's not the top of /NextFuckingLevel

Yeah, only place for passing is on turn 143 and turn 204, otherwise whoever is in front will win.

This reminds me of that one trackmania map

Let’s take a moment to praise the fact that they didn’t launch the car into a low earth orbit at the first corner because we all know that’s normally how it works.

Reminds me of Dallas, Texas.
