This evening I marked out the new Road Course infield layout with masking tape. It worked out well with the track being set at 60" wide.





At this point I have removed all of the 3D printed inside wall sections so there is only masking tape marking the infield area. I plan to run some laps tomorrow and see how the Road Course flows.
I think it is going to be fine.

Yesterday I started setting up a car for the Road Course.
For a Road Course, one of the main things I focus on is braking. Getting a car that is running at high speed down a straight away then slowed down to make a 90 degree turn is pretty fun when you have the right amount of braking.
I also have to make sure the car is in the right area of the track at the end of the straightaway to make the tight turn. Get these two things right and the rest will follow. (Speed and Location) Get one of them wrong and the car is in the wall.

The third thing I focus on is throttle control. It can be real easy to over power the car in the slow sections on a Road Course. Just remember slower is almost always faster because the only speed that counts is when the car is moving toward the finish line.

The main thing to remember is setups do not work the same for everyone. What works for me may not work at all for others. The only reason I comment on my setups is to share what works for me and my thoughts behind them.
Doing so gives others things to think about when they are looking to improve lap times.

Road Course Laps Coming Soon!
