Another thought about using the back straight is the fencing. Is it possible to move the fence back against the wall so marshals can stand behind the boards?

I would say Keith would have the last say on that one.

Good idea Ben but may be an issue for emergency exits, Wednesday sounds good to me for a few packs and to try new layouts.

Both layout proposals look good just have to try them out.

That maybe so and if i didnt have to pay for my equipment i do that too but this is a hobby and most cant afford to replace a chassis or parts just to win a club race, close clean racing is more exciting than someone running into your car when your stopped in the pit lane or taking half the field out on a corner LOL.

Evening racers!

I've prepared some downloadable templates which you are all welcome to use if you wish to propose possible track layouts for the 2015 season. Below I have provided the empty layout. To download this image right click, and 'save the image as' to a reliable location on your system. From here you may open this file in paint (or another program compatible) and let your creativity flow


http://gyazo.com/6337bc0003dd475356ae92ab119f2cae - if the image doesn't load

Post your opinions/layouts back here if you have any, this will be taken as a group decision, thus why feedback is appreciated from everyone! We aspire to satisfy all of your needs for every class, I think a track that flows is important for all classes (f1 particularly)

Wont see many of you before this year fades out, wishing you and your families all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Keep us updated on your designs

Cheers

I don't get to race there much but here is my reverse track idea, not sure if would even work but it would be a fast layout.

Like Benzaah I'm no good at art but I can drive a computer. Here are the current and suggested layouts so far ... choose your favourite layout and direction!

Hey Billy, I've got a dodgy computer so only have risky locations to store a file :/ only dodgy sketches here boys.


Track 7 clockwise from Sam looks very interesting. When is HH open over the next week? Keen to get my RC on.
