How about an 8-shape track with a roundabout?

It reminds me of frosties

Very cool track though. Its amazing how some of the tracks within europe, Aus, and the US have so little support but have awesome venues. Where in this country we have 80 people turn up for a regional to race on a field.

VERY good point!!!

They could have made an invert one though, like a large concrete cone... but then visibility would be hopless of course...

True

Has anyone tried driving in a skateboard park?

Ah, the Xbox controller is USB and you simply install a PC driver for it. Cool! Can you do that also with a PS3 controller?

only driven skate parks with 18th scale, but its certainly fun!

quick off-topic - yes - not sure about PS3 but just google and you might find an answer - no more off-topic

Woops! Wrong tread... sorry!

Had my bachelor party saturday and still very hung over

Any other cool elements? We're planning "The Cliff" which will be a natural ramp down from the mountain. Will provide some cool pics I reckon!

Driven in a skatepark, when you get higher up the ramp it just wont hold the car, it jumps off if its moving and just slides down if stationary.... jumps were cool though

surely if it rains it and filsl up the bowl it will be even more challenging for teh professionals eg Jon H + etc however for most of us it could be expensive crash!!

However they must have encoruporated a drain in the bowl!

This track is on Antibes, on the French Riviera. SHY : They have summer-style weather 9 months a year
Yes, there is a drain under the bowl.
