Remember the year that riders got to design a track? We need to go back to that again!

I want whatever crystal ball allows all of you to predict one line / follow-the-leader, based of a often-not-1:1 rendering of a track that in reality isn't even finished being built…

Maybe Guy B or ML can chime in, but you would think that Feld and/or Dirt Wurx would evolve the tracks as the season goes on. Like Glendale, long rhythms and hard whoops made excellent racing, last weekend the turn, triple, turn, proved to be dangerous... I guess my question is, why don't they evolve the tracks as the season goes on, instead of releasing track maps months prior, and then learning some of them don't work, and leaving them?

even a fan vote track would be cool.
conduct a poll section by section.

1st up start:

long start or short start
left turn or right turn
90 or 180

next poll would be what type lane for the next section,
add in options for a over under, sand sections etc....

The start is too short, theres only 1 long rhythm lane, who wants to see guys cross the start straight 3 times, theres no whoops section, theres 6 90 degree turns, I could go on and on...

Looks like a lot of short lanes with the career ender triple on the one end. I say follow the leader. I hope not.

Yep.

right 90

tiny straight that will surely get 1 lined to a 180, but don't worry because even if you get a wheel inside of someone
0.2 seconds later now they are on your inside


Unless they make the long rhythm very tricky with a much faster option, the only passing will be after the whoops or the first 180 after the finish.
Track looks horrible. I dont understand how they (track builders) think having four 90 corners in a row going all the way around the outside of the stadium into two short lanes of sand that will be one lined in nature will be good for racing and another couple 90's after finish into a series of short straights back to back that wont allow time for anyone to get along side to make a pass.
Then you're back into going around outside of stadium again. I just, I just cant fathom how they dont understand by now what works and doesnt work(90 corners ect.) and how to design a decent track

Shark tank jump and 18" deep mud section instead of the sand section. That along with a dead bike type of LeMans start where the riders have to run 25 yards to their bikes.

Pit Row
