    Skyway to Hell
    Race to your death for the win!

    This is a one-way race track on Foundry that takes place almost entirely in the air. The point is to be the first one to make it all the way to the ceiling and fall into a pit full of fusion coils where the VIP scoring zone is. In other words, everyone is racing to be the first to blow themselves up. :)

    The game that goes with this map is Death Race. It's set up for 10 rounds, and it has one point penalties for killing another player or killing yourself, because this track also has a Bungie 500-style suicide box for people who try to beat the course on foot. Sticking with the hell theme, if you go to the box you have to set yourself on fire with the firebomb grenades provided. (Actually, if you were playing for real, you'd probably just want to sit in the cage until the end of the round to avoid the -1 penalty.)

    The track is too complicated to describe completely without using a ton of pictures, so here are just a few to give you an idea:

    Gentle banked turn

    To give you an idea of how high this track is, this is as close to an overhead view as I could get.

    One player commits suicide in the penalty box while the orange player goes for the win (which also happens to be suicide).

    The winner. The explosion is much bigger than it looks in this picture, because the initial blast blew the other coils to the outside, where they're exploding out of frame.

    Hope you enjoy, and please leave feedback.

    I used up the entire budget, but I didn't do anything special to get more supplies than normal, so I'm not sure what I would message you about. I wish I had had more, because I had room to keep going, but by the time I got near the ground (I started building from the top) I looked at my budget and realized I had to stop right there.

    The only dislike I have about this map is the fact that you designed it on Foundry. Out of all the maps to choose from, I believe that there is indeed better choices, even though Foundry offers so many new objects and scenery. The map looks clean and well thoughout however. Good job.

    Oooh, shiny, pretty explosions. I'll make a note to check it out.

    I think it could use some work though. Like most race maps, there are benefits to be reaped from the Unlimited Budget glitch.

    Has someone used Skyway to Hell before? I was going for a play on words with the AC/DC song.
