How this track came about? The idea for this map was to make a race map that separates the good drivers from the bad ones whilst still being relatively easy to complete. I didn’t want to make it a roller-coaster map because they are everywhere and I wanted my map to be different. The track features a variety of different sections/challenges such as huge ramps, tight turns, invisible tracks, a mine field, and even a mini forest.

 

What was the hardest part? Definitely the teleports. It all started during the second testing of the map when, for some annoying reason (lag), people kept getting thrown out of teleports and weird angles. This meant they’d either crash and lose their position, or, even worse, fall off the track and die. The solution was simple in my mind, remove some teleports, reduce the lag and things will be fine. Nope. That just meant it happened less often. I had no idea how I was going to solve this problem, it was either remove all of the teleports and change the whole layout of the track, or, give up and start over. In the end I found the solution while watching one of the replays, and it was annoyingly simple! Basically all I had to do was make sure that the player was facing the same direction (i.e. north) coming out of the teleport as they were going in to it. The lag just meant that the player didn’t change direction when going through the teleport.
