clockwise direction , bottom right hand corner results in a crash if you dont turn , single file only after the s bend ,defalt after s will be the inside , at the moment only two chances for the inside to get to racing line.

Nice first track.
Take it more out at the edge, get fence, remeber its easy to run back with a MR car.
I gues you will hav problems with the narrow corner, but sometimes you are able to just spin around the tweky corners.

But just do it and get nowledge, MR its new for all of us.
Its not nessecerly with constant width betwen the lines. Its not so in real life!

Good luck.

First, concerning corners, just freerun a car and se wath radius you get!
It can be differentierad for left or right.
If you glue the wire to a flat surface, its more easy to understand and correct Lc.
You can ewen test the track with the free glued wire and lc bye just adjusting the nutts that holds the magnetic swing arm.
Good luck says Lasp
