Here are some track plans that I am considering for a new commercial 1/32 track. I would like to get you guys to give me your input on which you would prefer to race on, and why. The track will have individual power supplies for each lane, variable between 6 and 20 volts with 10 amps, and will have jumpers approximately every 12 feet using 12 gauge wire. I will have the Professor Motor 3-pin hook ups for controllers, and I will be using TrakMate to control the races.

"Formula De" - approx. 119' per lap

"Catalunya Mod" - approx. 121' per lap

They both look good with some finesse and plenty of speed, but since I have to choose one I'll take the "Formula De"
I like the winding sections in the track.

My $.02 --

The top one is 'too busy' for my taste so I would prefer the one on the bottom since it has more straightaways.

'doba

I like the top one because it has more longer straights.

I like the Formula De.

Best regards,

Well,I would have to go with the top one.But I would make the section above the bottom main straight into a straight.

And I would make the main outside curves a bigger radius too.Especially the curve on the far right.You could get up alot more speed if you did before having to slow down.
For me at least: speed=fun

Looking good tho.

Formula De. Twisty handling section all together in the middle, and more track going left. It's nice to see both sides of your car. The "S" will look good.

I do like the turn 2 (?) left jog on the second layout, looks like you could make over 270 degrees of right turns together if you incorporated it into the first.

I prefer the first one

I like the first one "formula de" ..

How about this version of the "Formula De" track? Let me know what you think of the changes. It should be faster and flow easier while still being somewhat challenging and easy to turn marshal.

Yeah,I like that.

Enough technical stuff to make it challenging,but some nice straights for some SPEED!!!!!

UMMM, most marshals I know won't fit in there, LOL.

HEY! I resemble that remark!

Coach :rolleyes:

I like this one:

"Catalunya Mod" - approx. 121' per lap

Kind of resembles the track I race on locally and it is always fun and challenging - especially if you bank any of those turns.

PD2:thumbsup:

I like the revised version.

I could be wrong, but IIRC the squares in Scaley's track designer aren't a foot wide, and that area is about 2.5' across. Hopefully you'd be able to find *someone* who could fit in an area like that. ;)
