There are eight if you look carefully.

The TLD crew is pretty easy going about letting other riders burn laps on their track. A few non-Kawi guys burn laps at K2 (the track above TLD).

Sweet! Got it fully expanded and didn't realize you could rotate it 360 deg. Really cool. How often do they change or redo their tracks?

The teams usually do one big overhaul of their layout every year, which is right about now after Monster Cup as they prepare for the new season. Depending upon how much it's ridden and what the team wants will depict how often it gets prepped. If the riders really dislike a section or it just doesn't work, they may make a tweak or two with the layout during the season.

Hahaha. Yeah missed the "interactive-ness" of the pic the first time, I had just expanded it. I got it now.

Cool, thanks ML512.

I like how they have that different dirt for some of them.

I wonder what would be the reasoning of having all the tracks so close to each other. Do you know?

Picture of C. Webb sporting the #2 at the Yamaha test track (see arrow for the exact corner). I'm pretty lucky in that I can ride my MX bikes from my house to the tracks all on fire trails. You'd think it would be really great spectating but for the most part the riders are only on the track maybe 20% of the time.

Only place they can get the land to use. City's and Counties are pretty tight about land use.

To be honest, I think a lot of people miss it. I've been surprise how few people comment on these. I think they're pretty cool. For example, the one below from the Monster Energy Cup.

They were working on the kawasaki test track yesterday. I drove by it fast, but it looked like they were building a finish line jump near the road.

I drove by the track many times during my 13 week contract and never saw them out there. Sad

After seeing these awesome tracks, it's a shame what Febvre has to practice on ( based on another thread on here).

That was pretty cool Gibby, looks awesome in full screen.

Dude the other night i caught "drone racing" on ESPN and thought of you. There is a whole league and everything, spec racing so they all fly the same drone and everything is even. Some major talent there!!
