Have been very busy with life and other stuff. Is the interest still here for fancy layouts? Should I keep making 'em?

Yes, of course! Wink

A fully scaled and scanned DTM Norisring circuit... all coming up in the next edition Omg omg omg




Scenery such as cranes and buildings will be at later date!
Just realised Turn 7 and 8 are slightly misscaled. Will adjust and put the scenery in! This will be nice!

Absence is key... haha. Sorry for the lack of posts!

Who's pumped for this track?

Vol. 10 - Norisring Full Scale
I've returned for a brief respite in Layoutting this year. This might be my one and only layout this time; I am indeed busy with other projects around Adobe, Sketchup, 3Ds, aaand you get the point!

Thank you everyone for your support for this series!



Norisring






This is a track I've always wanted to redo, having done a smaller version on Autocross.
Chosen location is Aston - the backdrop and scenery very much suits the environment of the actual track!

DTM does some crazy races here, and Norisring is steeped in history as one heck of a small rocket circuit.
Blitz around the track in the GTRs for that authentic DTM feeling, or take something like the FBM and relive the European FBM Series.


The track is accurately scanned and outlined before put up in LFS. It is correctly scaled, and all environment objects like buildings, grandstands and cranes are exact to real life, giving a great visual display as well as depth, which most object-type layouts lack! Heck, have fun burning some tires!

Below you can find the file for original Norisring layout along with Updated v1 version with "gravel trap" (as seen in bottom post).

Norisring Small Update 1 (V3)


Small update to Norisring layout, with full pit lane with pit boxes, along with a podium.

Also added is a first - prototype "gravel" trap in Turn 1 run-off zone. This is to discourage use of run off, as well as to produce more spectacular off's!
Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhJl1-YsKxo

Acts like a old-style sand trap by slowing cars faster than just the slippery concrete. Also beaches cars like the Formulas or GTR. I hope it simulates well!

(edit) no you can't fly off the wall. Sadly. Thumbs up

See you all in the next edition of Layouts! Na-na

It remembers me of my young age playing Toca Race driver 2 on the same track with some Lotus old F1... one of my favourite track
This is art! *in Bucks voice*

Looney The Pavement Run Challenge Looney







As the description may hint, this is a rather fun and stressful challenge. Viral it could be; but definitely one to try out on a boring Sunday.

If you are a Pikes Peak or Goodwood fan, this is a must try!

Simple idea - run a fast car along the sidewalk of Blackwood yard with next to no run off. Challenge your friends to the fastest time possible!

No preview this time - try it out to find out!

Mini-Sentul International Circuit, Indonesia






This is one track from the older archives! Been almost 2 years, forgot I even had this stored somewhere Tongue

Here is a mini-version of one of Indonesia's discreet race tracks.
Located just off capital Jarkata, this track provides close racing in lesser powered cars, and can also be a decent drifting circuit!

Less popular to us, it may prove an interesting challenge with the twisty middle sector. Have fun!
Credits to ltras for suggesting this!

I wouldn't recommend all of them, but... Challenge accepted Tongue

Impressive Niko. Might have to try this.
0:49.86 clean, 0:49.42 with a small wall-ride.

Here's the clean lap:



Used traction control off the line, then turned it off down the first straight before the first bin. You need it off after that or you lose too much time.
Amazing runs Niko, Pete. Didn't know what to expect running the BF1 around a banter course, but now I know. Smile

I won't be accountable for any broken wrists!

my setup wasnt really good for this as i based it quick on an as1 set and set cambers to -2.5, 10% diff made the slides easy to adjust with throttle so i started doing a few runs with using TC only at the start. I had a funny walltap into the container on my lap which helped the car out of that corner really neatly Big grin

Its possible to go faster but you need good coordination and timing to get some leverage from the kerbs in the corners and there's a 50% chance you spin or get stuck in the kerb Big grin That's an impressive time, though
I used a modified AS1 set too. Tongue
Quote from mbutcher :I used a modified AS1 set too. Tongue

Seems the fastest, Pete! Maybe after hours of tweaking you can go faster. Wink

Anyway, to everyone still subscribed to this fancy pancy layout thread,

Thank you for your continuous support. It really honestly means a lot to see people enjoying my work and it's rewarding even though there isn't much league usage (yet). Gives me the drive to continue thinking and crafting each track with joy and I hope I can continue to do so!

Every track from start to current has had a facelift and/or grid expansion. All of these updated race-spec courses have been uploaded with "V3" in the name. Do have a look!

Personal Favourites? I'll have to say Monaco, Norisring, Mid-Town Ring.
And of course, the Lmaoring - named for the fun we had with our late racer in LCS-R, Marcus, who sadly passed on last year. In his honor, the updated inner stadium section now features the finalised Marcus Arena structure.




Thank you once again, and see you next time Wink

Ninja Warrior Intermediate Course 1, BL1 LIVE FOR SPEED




NOTE : Course aesthetics have improved since above video. Return stage routes have been widened, and stages color coded..


Ever wanted to test your precision driving and patience? Wait no further!


I bring to you a two-part Ninja Warrior/banzuke influenced obstacle course, dug up from the archives of 2016! Few have conquered this course and fewer have done it in a fast time. Will you be the king of the course?

First ever competitive small-scale obstacle course I've made that will take more patience than most others! Carefully constructed to be neat, whilst being fully doable and isn't made of all-armco that will wreck your FFB wheel.

Put your slow precision driving skill to the test in this 4 stage course with your friends or simply take a spin and attempt to finish the run in quickest time possible. Upload your attempts if you wish! Recommended vehicle is XRG.

Each stage has a "return-to-stage route" to the stage start just like the real Ninja stages. You do not have to restart the entire course if you fall off once.

Have fun, and be sure to stay... calm!

is 1st person view viable for this course?
Quote from Aw3som3G4m3rzYT :is 1st person view viable for this course?

Yes! To be fair, if you wish to drive it you have to go into "F" mode and remove bodywork. If not you will not complete it at all Tongue
Second installment of Ninja Warrior.... coming soon


Hi all!

It has been a long time. Due to a busy schedule tracks and layouts might be on the snail pace for this year.
Couple more in the works hopefully able to get them out before end of 2nd quarter of this year!

Meanwhile, here's a slightly revised Mini Monaco track with a different Sector 2 and wider track at last few corners.
How has your 2019 started so far? What tracks would you like to see made?



Piscine The Swimming Pool chicane

La Rascasse

Revised track suitable for FBM or GTi, UF1 for larger grids.


*Original post w/ original track with extended Sector 2 :
