My Tracks Raceway 4 - Page 7

Well, historically, we haven't actually selected locations for our track, thus not influencing the naming of the track.

shambles · 29 Dec 2005, 14:42 (Ref:1491435)

I know - but, we don't have to let that be the case, maybe we should name the turns in a variety of ways, each of choose turns to name, and name them according to our own theme? Or would you prefer a running theme, if so the location of the track doesn't have to influence that.

how about we try something new and diffrent ?

Lustigson · 29 Dec 2005, 15:08 (Ref:1491448)

Of course, I knew Paul wasn't suggesting we make that much changes... hence the wink.

However, the idea of putting a track somewhere on a real location is pretty cool. Didn't we try that before? The difficulty with it is, though, that we really should take gradient and stuff into mind.

Any ideas mate?

haha I see!

I agree about gradient, but - if we can't measure it, we can make it up.

True. And we've proven to be very, VERY good at making things up!

Not that Bunnik is very far away from where I live. A 40 minute driver, tops.

the_royksopp · 29 Dec 2005, 16:24 (Ref:1491482)

Ok. Well - we've only got 36 posts to go, so we better speed up the decision process a bit

.

Lustigson · 29 Dec 2005, 22:05 (Ref:1491664)

I'm OK with Pirenzo's latest design, with the altered Lesmos.

pirenzo · 29 Dec 2005, 22:33 (Ref:1491673)

Do we have a final track?

the_royksopp · 29 Dec 2005, 23:32 (Ref:1491709)

Yes - although i don't think it looks good upside down

.

pirenzo · 29 Dec 2005, 23:36 (Ref:1491711)

Surely the track is just as good whichever way you look at it?

I thought flipping it might attract comments like that. Just goes to show that 90% of our track designing is based on overall appearance (the 'shape' of it) rather than its actual design.

I always flip every circuit I do a few directions to check I still think it all works, that way I know I've given it proper thought...

Lustigson · 30 Dec 2005, 08:16 (Ref:1491791)

Euch, it looks better the old way around.

shambles · 30 Dec 2005, 11:55 (Ref:1491874)

Wow, it still works - but it is hideous that way round.

I think we are all settled, those whose are say "aye"

AYE (Looking for AYE's, from Pirenzo, Lustigson, T_R, Always First and any one connected with My tracks, whom for this MTR perhaps hasn't taken much part

)

pirenzo · 30 Dec 2005, 12:10 (Ref:1491878)

Well, I'm happy if I can get on with it.
Its an aye from me...

I guess Lustig is OK with it. TR is OK, Paul, you're OK, I'm OK, Always was fairly sure a few posts ago that what we have is OK.

So I'm just going to go and finish it now...

shambles · 30 Dec 2005, 12:41 (Ref:1491888)

Yeah good idea, seeing as the depletive amount of posts to go, crack on P.

PAUL

Lustigson · 30 Dec 2005, 12:46 (Ref:1491891)

Can't wait. Just before New Year's...

the_royksopp · 30 Dec 2005, 13:15 (Ref:1491900)

Yeah, it's great timing

.

We still have to settle the corner names though.

Lustigson · 30 Dec 2005, 13:19 (Ref:1491901)

Oh yeah. Pirenzo, will you number the corners?

pirenzo · 30 Dec 2005, 14:14 (Ref:1491933)

Number them or put name labels on??

I can do whatever you guys think is best tbh.

It's finished, other than that. Just got to wait for post 10'000 really.

Lustigson · 30 Dec 2005, 14:40 (Ref:1491952)

Number them, please. Then we'll all come up with names.

pirenzo · 30 Dec 2005, 15:03 (Ref:1491972)

OK, here's an image with corner numbers...
Now you can all decide on the names, before 10'000 posts (you've got 20 posts to decide in

)

the_royksopp · 30 Dec 2005, 15:14 (Ref:1491982)

Ah, that's way too many numbers there - corners like 2, 4, 7 and 19 needn't have names.

I'd say my numbering proposal was far easier ->

Lustigson · 30 Dec 2005, 15:16 (Ref:1491987)

I'm with TR.

I've always liked 'Leyton House' as a name, so that's my proposal for one corner. Other names might include:

- Eagle
- Ensign
- Gordini
- Hesketh
- Matra
- Stewart
- Talbot-Lago
- Vanwall
- Wolf

(I'll leave the Brabhams and Tyrrells to you guys

)

pirenzo · 30 Dec 2005, 15:38 (Ref:1492003)

They needn't all be numbered, I just wanted to make sure when someone said "Turn 6 should be called Vanwall" for example everyone knew which corner they were talking about. I think it will be much better in the end for the image to have the actual corner names on anyway.
