The problem we have chris is the 3 meter wide rule the track has to be 3 meters wide as you problerly well know im 90% confident that some parts of tracks such and kiddy bury etc arent 3 meters. So its hard trying to get some good sections though there where you have to turn. We did have the track tighter butfriday afternoon we where told we had to open it up more because it was something like 2.8 instead of 3 meters. But i didnt enjoy this years national track at all i hated the stupid wood under the astro fortunatly i didnt get the pleasure of the blue pipes as i didnt run practise. I hate big open tracks i preffer to have to use full lock instrad of hardly having to turn. But this year we have a diffrent track designer well we dont have just one we all have a say on it.

Fast chicanes, jumps in the right places (and not just a wedge type one, put a curve between the ramp and track, laps not too long so you can't remember what corner is coming next, not too wide, not too narrow. Don't make all corners 90deg or 180deg (thats for the 2D racers), have some curve variance, sweeping, and tightening bends.

But its all well and good asking us on here for suggestions, but the truth is how can you include all the suggestions in 1 track? you can't. Its best just to start from scratch and don't have loads building the layout all taking care of their own 20ft x 20ft square - start from the start and lay the track one corner at a time... then when the lap is complete, stand back and look at it, even have someone drive it (someone not in the national ofcause) and then adjust the layout (& it will need adjustment, its never great first time)
