For whatever reason the post didn't come through as intended. Rather than discuss why it hasn't come through please repost your completed design.

Let's do that then.

Whoopee - thats another one done!

Its only fitting that quintin started and finished it

mattt · 2 Jun 2010, 11:44 (Ref:2703145)

Ive made 3 slight edits, one to make a external circuit and one just for a shorter club circuit

Birddog07 · 2 Jun 2010, 11:50 (Ref:2703147)

That outer loop would be a very nice track if long enough, like atleast 4 miles.

dyewat808 · 9 Jun 2010, 16:19 (Ref:2707459)

Well, we've done two. Perhaps for the third one we should use Sketchup?

i.e. We post a screenshot of what it looks like, as well as the Sketchup file, and the next person then puts in the next bit, offsets the line, and connects up any bits left over - (thats how I usually connect up new offset curves.

)

What do we think? Anyone wanna start it?

Quintin03 · 9 Jun 2010, 19:57 (Ref:2707687)

Seems like an idea to me. I´ve started the last one so I´m hesitating.

mattt · 9 Jun 2010, 21:09 (Ref:2707775)

i won't be able to participate if using sketchup since ive tried it a couple of times and got confused

**ScotsBrutesFan** · 9 Jun 2010, 22:46 (Ref:2707878)

It'll be interesting to see if this works as well.

I've started it with a Straight, curve and another straight.
Either straight can be lengthened to form a S/F straight or you might add another straight that's long enough.

At the moment the circuit direction has yet to be determined.

The dimensions are shown in the image, to indicate each new section please add the dimensions

Here I go, sorry I was lost, I just downloaded ketchup on my prehistoric replacemente pc, there you go...

Quintin03 · 10 Jun 2010, 05:33 (Ref:2707978)

Next bit
No image though. Sorry for that.

Edit: Top View Added

**ScotsBrutesFan** · 10 Jun 2010, 23:26 (Ref:2708805)

Just for reference and before anyone adds to it, using the drawn line as a centre line the current track is 4,006m or 2.5 miles.

mattt · 11 Jun 2010, 22:34 (Ref:2709501)

Ive bitten the bullet and downloaded sketchup.

Given what SBF said about the length i just looped the circuit up to its self with a nice pair of sweepers

Weren't quite sure how to do the screen shot so i left that off

EDIT: Image now Added.

file/export/2-d graphic

BTW we can all agree on halving the measured distances and still hava a pretty formidable circuit, never mind the size it can be rescaled.

mattt · 11 Jun 2010, 23:17 (Ref:2709516)

Maybe instead of shortcuts we add extensions to it and then scale it down.

Thanks luiggi and SBF for explaining how to and adding the image.

I will start using sketchup more over the summer.

**ScotsBrutesFan** · 11 Jun 2010, 23:17 (Ref:2709517)

So Mattt has completed the loop for a length of 4824m that's 3.015 miles.

So do we want to

Leave it as is and move onto the next circuit
Reduce the scale and continue on
Add an Extension to make a long and short circuit
Reduce scale/Enlarge the area, add a second circuit that combined would give an Enduro length

Quintin03 · 12 Jun 2010, 07:00 (Ref:2709591)

I'm for option 4. Let's make the area on which it is located say 35% smaller.

LuiggiSpeed · 13 Jun 2010, 14:33 (Ref:2711109)

Option 2 for me, AMOF I already completed the circuit

Col du Turini · 20 Jun 2010, 15:29 (Ref:2715103)

What about for this challenge next, creating corner sequences of 5-10 corners, and linking them together to create a "modern" Nordscheife (i.e. a very long track - 25km+), with a Club track (5km) also?

Ah yes, thats a good idea as these tend to be quite long anyways. Haven't got access to Sketchup at the mo, so unless someone beats me to it, I'm happy to start it off?

Can I start?

Here's my attempt.

Sorry for JPEG, don't know why but I can't overwrite the PNG file.

I'll give this a go:

dyewat808 · 29 Aug 2010, 17:05 (Ref:2751831)

Bump.
Just realised this still hasn't been finished yet.

Onwards with my bit!

ECW Dan Selby · 3 Sep 2010, 20:03 (Ref:2754215)

Bit of raw speed, let's make this car set up a bit torn...
