    I see tons of awesome racetracks these days on Sandbox but not on any other maps. Sure, Sandbox has the best selection of items, highest budget/object limit, and the ideal place to build a track BUT, all these tracks start to look the same. I actually tried to build a racetrack on Blackout long before Sandbox came out. This was long before I learned how to ghost merge and it eventually failed. Now I have used ghost merging to create a cool (if short) track underneath the main part of Blackout. Due to object limits I was not able to make the track very long and it is a very straightforward "O" design. But, it is quite smoothe and is on Blackout which gives it a different atmosphere than tracks on Sandbox and will hopefully help it stand out. The map is pretty much done.

    It looks well forged but rather short. I like the idea of forging on blackout just to make more original, and it seems you have pulled that off well. I'm having trouble understanding the layout of the track, but from what I can see it looks like a big a oval. Good work.

    Not yet... SOON!

    Anyway the track is basically just a big oval, I did the best I could with what I had :/

    EDIT: the map is up and ready for download, even though almost no one seems to care.
