The track looks good for eigth rally x, but to big and fast for electric buggy:confused: good work though:thumbsup:

Mark@Derby 07-03-2008 10:03 PM

yeah maybe a little but we have to work on it yet loads more ..

RSharpy 07-03-2008 10:49 PM

Mark am I right in saying the pic is taken from the rostrum?

Looking at it, what you have in effect is 3 straights closest to the rostrum and the infield furthest away. I'd say to make it buggy friendly you'd need to lose 2 of the straights.

To make it interchangable between both classes why not have the infield next to the rostrum and the 3 straights furthest away? Then both eight rally x and tenth electric could race on it, losing 2 straights furthest away for the buggys.

Or 1 closest and 2 furthest away?

Just my initial thoughts from looking at the pics. What do other people think? any input?

Mark@Derby 08-03-2008 08:27 AM

the pic doesnt do it justice .. we timed the lap with a non racer with 1/8th buggy and it came out with a 55sec lap
we put the strait lane in front as its where the pit lane is and we tryed to keep the jumps in clear sight

dont get me wrong no matter what we do it will never be right for every one this is why it would of been nice if racers could have come and lend a hand and put some ideas in to it

Thats a good point about keeping the jumps visable. Will have to pop down and have a look although am busy this weekend looking at wedding venues with the future Mrs Sharp:wub

Are you able to get to the track in the week or would it be locked up?

ianplimmer 08-03-2008 02:51 PM
