Printable template for track designs

Post by hundred »

Rough printable template for track designs, to scale (1 square is 1m), shows main features such as table top, timing loop/finish line, car drop area, track entrance, bombhole. The arrows show undulations and direction of flow.

We encourage you to download this and make your own track designs that we can use. Please remember these things :-
  • Track must cross the timing loop/finish line
  • The straight is 4m wide (4 squares) and the rest of the track 3m wide (2.4m at pinch points)
  • Make sure the track will have an unobstructed view from the drivers stand
  • Please think about marshal positions and how easy it would be to marshal each section.
  • For club racing aim for around 20s lap for the average racer, 18s for top drivers
  • For regionals aim for around 25s lap for the average racer, 21s minimum for top drivers
  • Ideally NO crossovers as these aren't beginner friendly
You can edit these online or print them - whatever is easier.
Please then email your designs to info@glasgowrc.com

Just awesome! This can be used for track design - please feel free to make your own. The track Straight needs to be 4m wide (4 squares) and the rest of the track ideally 3m (3 squares) although can be 2.4m in sections.

Remember the track must cross the start/finish line to enable the lap counting to work.

Also think about where marshalls can stand so they can be safe and cover all areas on the track and not obstruct a drivers view.
