GPL New Track Idea

Just tried the Pantsring. What a hoot. But it started me to thinking. What about a track that just goes in a straight line? Imagine taking off from the grid at Monza, except the track would be, say, five cars wide and the first turn never came? Just drafting and slingshotting. Back and forth. Again and again. Maybe hilly, ups and downs, who knows. And because its a computer track you could still have a start/finish line to count laps. With the way people are churning out tracks, this sounds like it would be relatively easy, and, I have to tell you, from my perspective, a lot of fun. Just a thought. Mike

Great idea, Mike, but I think it's already been done; it's called Avus.

sounds good in theory, but racers would all opt for the faster cars, those who've got the hang of fast starts would always win and those left at the back would see that they had no chance of catching up, driving without holding on to the steering wheel, no corners....yawn do you ever see avus in vroc? I havnt good for practicing drafting tho J&K <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:1Vwc6.3$[email hidden]... > Great idea, Mike, but I think it's already been done; it's called Avus.Get

This is basically Avus. The only challenge is remembering to wake up when it's time to brake:-) - Michael
