[CMOTD]

If anyone needed an explanation of what the difference between SF and SR is, you only need to compare the two reactions to my original posts. Neither is better or worse than the other, they are just different takes on the same hobby. As rich as the tapestry of life.... how profound for a Friday afternoon ?

Intrigued by the above comment I had a look at the thread on SF and indeed there is a radical difference between the two with the usual suspects over there immediately telling you that it was a bad idea and that real circuits do not translate into good slot circuits but, as I would expect, Jason and Andy are much more supportive with positive help on here.

Leaving that aside I do wonder whether the oft quoted "real circuits do not translate into good slot circuits" is actually true with digital tracks. Certainly with analogue tracks they do have their limitations and usually heavily favour one lane over the others but with a public pay track it really doesn't matter that much as most participants will be inexperienced, liable to crash fairly often regardless of configuration and won't be using it regularly anyway. 

Now I have very little experience with digital but surely the whole point of the system is that you can change lanes at will and, with good placement of lane changers, follow the racing line as in real life so there is no real advantage for one lane over the others. In this case I would think that there is a good case for real circuit replication and aesthetically they look a lot better and much more realistic than some of the convoluted figure of eight analogue tracks I have seen.

Really looking forward to your progress on this one Paul and would love to play on it when finished.
