    This is our first attempt at a double-wide racetrack. Yes it has a smiley on it.

    Download The Map Here

    This is a double wide racetrack set-up for tournament style racing. After 11 hours of interlocking here it is.

    Racetrack Features



    • -Jump through giant smiley face on first jump
    • -Double wide
    • -All corners banked
    • -2 180 degree hairpin turns
    • -2 double wide jumps
    • -1 Downhill off cambered turn
    • -Forged to perfection, no bumps or cracks perfectly smooth
    • -At places is 3-4 boxes wide great for passing
    • -Anti-Cheat starting gate
    • -The track is cheat-proof.
    • -Finish line is cheat-proof
    • -Configured for RACETRACKS gametype

    Alright here are some pictures along with a description. The pictures don't do the map justice though. Especially with Konakid904's shoddy camera skills lol.

    In the beginning none of the double boxes spawn and you and the mongooses spawn on a floating platform where you get in and get ready to go. At 10 seconds in the boxes spawn and you pop up. Then you get going.

    Then you head up a huge ramp made of bridges, jumping through a smiley face = ).

    You land on an off cambered down-hill turn going into a straightaway to get great amounts of speed.

    You go come off the straightaway into a quadruple wide banked straightaway turn that's great for passing.

    After that you go into 2 180 degree hairpin corners.

    After hitting the fence wall hairpin corner you go off the last jump and through the finish line.

    You land on a landing ramp then a grav-lift helps smoothen out your landing. And then you turn

    I hope you guys enjoy playing this as much as we enjoyed making it for you.

    This looks like a pretty good map. I'm not personally into racing maps, but it looks like a lot of time and work was put into this. 4/5

    This looks awesome, but I don't see anything that sets this out from the rest. My favorite part is probably the giant hill you go up first. This racetrack looks really short and I see improvement such as a VIP gametype so you get points and can accually win. The walls look to short and I think people might get pushed out, giving that point do you have teleporters outside so if people fall out?

    Wow, the interlocking in this map is absolutely amazing. I'm going to download this.

    I like the way you interlocked perfectly on the first ramp from start.

    wow nice interlocking like all the others say. looks a little confusing i guess i'll have to test it out first to see how confusing it is. my tip for you is not to take screenshots in forge but to take them in a custom game. people dont like to see the respawn points. good job 5/5

    It's configured for the RACETRACKS VIP game type, it says so in the description.
    Every part of the racetrack is double-wide and the walls are halfway merged in, they keep you on, but aren't atrocious looking.
    Yes, it's in the middle down below, I should have mentioned that in the description.

    Thanks Dragoncoals that's great to here that from a admin.

    Really good map, great interlocking, great work, and great layout. I'm not sure if it was because of a budget limit or lack of items but instead of sheild doors couldn't you have used walls to make it look a lot nicer.

    Nice Rip, this looks fun, and very well made. Good job, I love race maps, so this will get a download from me. I also like the interlocked mongeese at the beginning, that is very original. 5/5

    best interlocking that i have ever seen in a racetrack. i love how none of it is on the ground so that there is no skipping parts by falling off. awesome map 5/5. the pop up start is amazing
