    Carbon Made By: BiG QwackER

    Notice: This is my first racetrack in my "Elemental Trilogy". There will obviously be two more to come very soon. But anyway, I feel like this one, you will love.

    Features:
    ~ Double Wide Racing
    ~ Uncheatable Goal Point
    ~ Three Banked Turns
    ~ High Speeds
    ~ Smooth Racing
    ~ Starting and Respawn Points

    Desrciption: Carbon starts off in a starting area, no gate, with eight mongeese and sixteen starting and respan points. First, you make an immediate left turn and start your race up three slighty slanted bridges. Then you race on the first banked turn and go on a little straight away. The banked turn has a gravity lift in the middle to help you turn and maintain speed. After the straight away, there is another banked turn made out of stairs and supported with wall corners. Then you go through gravity lifts. The gravity lifts are pointing down because if they weren't there, you would lose control of you mongoose and spin. So they are there for control support. You make a quick drop and go into the third and final banked turn and the destination point. Lastly, is a shield door turn where you go at fast speeds and drive back to the start.

    Tips When Racing:
    If you are going to go into the first banked turn at very high speeds make sure you start wide and come into the gravity lift or you'll be sorry. :(

    Gametypes:

    RACETRACKS - Free for all, no killing.
    Battle Tracks - Teams of two racing, no killing until second lap.

    Third Banked Turn

    How long did it take to create?

    The whole racetrack took me around 12 hours. Testing and finishing touches were very important and took me a few hours.

    What aspect took the longest to get right?

    All of the banked turns took really long, well as it seemed. The first one took the longest out of all of them. Probably about 2 hours to make. Then the second and third banked turns took about an hour. Even though it took a while, it was totally worth it.

    This looks pretty cool, I like the turns especially. The flow of the map looks very straightforward. The course looks pretty good. I'll check it out sometime, and I'll get back to you

    Two race track maps in such a small amount of time, that's impressive.
    The turns on here are nicely interlocked, and the gravity assisted turns look fun.
    I'll definitely have to check this out.

    That banked turn is amazing. I also like the gravlifts there to help keep you on track. Looks like a quality race map. DLing

    This looks like a good racetrack. The double boxes again, need to be interlocked a little better. There are cracks in between them, making it look less neat, and allowing you to bounce. 4/5

    Those banked turns are as smooth as ice. I made them as perfect as I could and i think I did a good job.

    Don't be too offended, Saint is VERY picky but not in a bad way, perfectionists are great for forgers but they should go a bit easier on new guys. Your map looks great and ill totally check it out!

    Thanks. The banked turns took the longest to make but they're the best part.

    It won't matter if there are small cracks in them. They won't flip you or make you bump up into the air. But it only affects the looks, not the gameplay.
    Anyway, there is only one small crack. Not that big of a deal.

    This is really good for a racetrack, the interlocking was one really nicely too, and the layout of the whole thing is pretty good...

    4.5/5

    Thanks. i actually got the idea of the banked stair turn from MrFrodo's map Walkin the Demon. It was featured in HaloTracks, but your probably not a member.
