Well its now a thing.....

We plugged it all up and have some fun.
Amazingly using very standard and tired old Mclarens, with some very amateur drivers, they were clocking sub 10 second laps on this mahooosive layout...

Sadly I have very little in the way of borders  and so there was no shortage of cars taking nose dives off the table :-(

But the good news is that it is a practical track.


The pits are not configured correctly due to me not having the correct pit exit piece. New one on I need a an exit with the lane merging from the left hand side.
you can see in the photo the exit at the bottom right of the picture near the throttles is merging from the right. If anyone has a spare pit exit they are willing to donate, please shout :-0

Next step is to build the permanent boards and landscape :-)

Brilliant.

[woodingboys]

Brilliant.

Thank you Jason.

I have made some minor adjustments following last nights test.

I wonder if you would be able to do the racing line image that you did for the previous version.

The boards are going to be 2 m long by 1m wide from Woodcote through the start finish straight to Madgwick. The rest of the boards will be 0.5m wide and curved to follow the track. 

The track will be centred in the boards.

The labelled diagram includes the buildings that will be placed on the 1m wide boards.

It would help me describe the decoration to David and Guy.

Cheers.

Yup, no problem, I'll get onto it.

[woodingboys]

Yup, no problem, I'll get onto it.

Apologies Jason. Scratch the previous version.
I have made a tweek to ensure the track lines up properly :-)

And the UR3 file to match:

[JasonB]

I've done this in layers.

Layer 1 is the track and the boards. The pit 'straight' is a bit freeform to fit everything in, but the back of the track exactly matches the track layout but 500mm wide. All of the boards should be possible to cut from an 8x4 sheet.

   

Layer 2 is the grass and the buildings.

   

And Layer 3 is just a bit of fun, which I couldn't resist.

   

Fingers crossed that you haven't made any more tweaks...

[woodingboys]

Jason, you are a rockstar. Thank you very much.

No more tweeks. We will be going into board construction very shortly. 
We are still fiddling with design elements to do with setup and board interlock.

Would you believe I have also been discussing a Phase 2 of the build that will provide a central infield, so your airfield could become a real thing :-)

Cheers
Paul

It's a pleasure Paul.

Hope it all goes well.

Thanks to Ian at Magnetic Racing the vast majority of their Goodwood buildings arrived today :-)

What a fantastic product delivery they have created. 

I only hope I can do them justice with my decorating :-)

The garage has 4 centre buildings so a total of 12 pit garages should make an impressive site :-)
