I told the guys at Peter's on Saturday I'd take some updated pics of my track, I've fully braided 2 lanes, 95% completed the 3rd and 45% of the 4th. I ran out of braid twice, but Peter supplied all I will need yesterday, so now just gotta find time to get it all done - then onto scenery!

To keep my 2 year old amused I set the power at 6 volts and lock the controller, I also powered 2 lanes with 1 controller, so most of these pics were taken while I had Porsche's and Scaley JGTC's running....enjoy





Through the squeeze, past pit entry and onto pit straight

Up the hill




This is where I ran out of braid on the green lane

Looking back up from track surface


Double Left hander








This is where the braid runs out on the white lane, still gotta clean it up a bit


The big right hander before the squeeze


Into the squeeze


Still got a lot of work to do on the pits and finish braiding the 2 lanes, then onto scenery, just gotta stop the cars from getting on track

Thanks for all the pictures and the videos. I never realised how big this track actually was! It looks really challenging to drive as well. Good luck with the rest of the process and hopefully you'll have more pictures soon.

You'd better get moving and have more kids Gref. You can only use the 2 year old for a bit longer before he's too big to fit under the track. Then who's going to be your marshal for the hard to reach corners?

Just a great looking design gref...really fast flowing track design.



Cheers Matt

fantastic work so far manic.....just enough room for your little car catcher I see......and who said kids were a nuisance, nice little hands to lessen the impact of fingerprints on nice paint jobs and you can fit them in even the tightest of hairpins....lol

woohoo, white lane is now operational and from the short race I just had with Nathan, is awesome driving V8's, I was on white he was on blue. Each lane has it's own little advantages, very very close racing, really kept us on our feet. Coming through (what looks like the dipper in the corner) is awesome, the car feels like its gonna roll, but just as gravity begins to tip it over, the road falls away underneath and corrects it.......I'm happier than a pig in you know what

Sounds good Gref.. much more to go?

thanks mate, although I have no computer timing hooked up yet, from a rough lap on my mobile phone, it's about a 14 - 15 second lap, just what I was wanting

just gotta finish the green lane

[Freddy]

It must be quite a big track. How many metres is it?

[Eno the Wonderdog]

Hey looking at the pic with ethe car on the wall above the woindy 'mountain' bit you got room for a "Fresco" dude!

Or if it were me I'd print one of these.. backgrounds..

[gref]

Yeah I wanna have backgrounds like that all round the brick sections, but A4 size prints just dont cut the mustard. I have a mate who can probably do a massive print, so better get onto him bout it

[Eno the Wonderdog]

even better!
