Flaming_Wuzzle's Tracks

Flaming_Wuzzle · 3 Dec 2010, 17:22 (Ref:2799173)

While I haven't been posting here regularly since the end of '08, I've still been occasionally drawing tracks, although I've switched to paper instead of using Paint/Photoshop/etc. Since my scanner seems to actually work now that I have a new computer, I figured I'd show you guys some of them.

Just as a note, none of these have names, and I don't necessarily have any idea of what the elevations for any of them are.

First one runs counter-clockwise, if you couldn't deduce it from the gravel traps.

Nice looking track.

I like the variety of corners; fast, slow and technical.
But above that, dispite the dodgy scan, great professional drawing; nice parallel track outlines.

I love the way it looks - natural. Great track.

absolutely awesome! i agree with everything on this job. 5 starz

I think it has a certain resemblance to Mont Tremblant; I like it!

SpeedingTortoise · 4 Dec 2010, 11:48 (Ref:2799475)

Lovely flowing corners in this track. I like it

Flaming_Wuzzle · 6 Dec 2010, 20:39 (Ref:2800536)

Thanks for the compliments, everyone! I know the scans are a bit weird with the black spots everywhere. I'm still trying to figure out a good way to fix that; for now, I'm painting over most of it.

Second track is clockwise starting from the lower-left.

I like the smooth transitions between the main and short circuits. Getting these to work is often the hardest part.

Teretonga · 7 Dec 2010, 01:14 (Ref:2800651)

Wuzzle.
I looked at this as a clockwise track but when I looked at the gravel traps its anti clockwise, is it not?
I loved it clockwise and its good anticlockwise but the gravel traps don't add up...

Out of all the tracks I have looked at lately on this site this is the one I would like to see replicated in real life the most but in clockwise form. It would be really really good as a drivers track.

Teretonga · 7 Dec 2010, 01:43 (Ref:2800659)

heres what I mean... I tried to send you a PM with the attachment but I cant attach to a PM.

As I said I think it flows better clockwise but the traps are all set for anticlockwise.

Flaming_Wuzzle · 7 Dec 2010, 03:57 (Ref:2800683)

..right, yeah, it's counter-clockwise, sorry for the mistake in my previous post.

Couldnt agree more: great track with superb flow. Lots of technical parts, but Luiggi would would give and arm and a leg to get out on it for a few laps

This next one started out as a drawing in Paint that I lost when my previous computer crashed.

It's supposed to be a short club circuit that built an extension to lure bigger series to race there, just like how, when I was first designing this, it started as just the outer track before I decided to add the extra bit.

bio · 11 Dec 2010, 01:30 (Ref:2802799)

Nope, my friend, still superb

I haven't commented here in a while but I'll make an exception for this. My friend you are one of the best track designers I've seen join these forums in a long time. The smooth transitions, natural flow, gorgeous blot shapes and still, even with all that you make a very good passing opportunities. I don't know how you do it but you've found the secret and that's what we're all searching for here at My Tracks. Nice Work

Flaming_Wuzzle · 19 Feb 2011, 01:24 (Ref:2833568)

Sorry for the delay, you can probably tell that I never caught on to the "4 Tracks a Month" idea...

Anyway, new track, which didn't show up as dark as I would have liked, so I hope no one has much of a problem figuring out where the track goes. It runs clockwise, and I would guess it's in the 3-mile range.

bio · 19 Feb 2011, 11:10 (Ref:2833713)

Nice one. Got speed, technical section...

The only point to mention is that there is only one real overtaking point - which is more than zero, of course

, but it's usually not the optimal situation to have only one.

But I still like it a lot.

LuiggiSpeed · 21 Feb 2011, 02:38 (Ref:2834448)

I love the natural character of this one,its something pleasing, and I'd ride this thing anytime!
If I was forced to criticize, the only detail would be the design of t3 and t11 leaves a door opening albeit a very small window of opportunity for a track reentry , I try to avoid those situations during primary design, but then I get all angular and squarish!

bio · 21 Feb 2011, 11:36 (Ref:2834569)

Well, a tire barrier elimnates the risk of re-entry...
