ya oval would be nice, but what you could have... taking that your running nitro... is you do a 2 hour race... so lets say that your can burns a tank in a half hour. thats 4 pit stops for gas and you can do a driver change in the middle or a new driver every tank of gas. now track wise I would go with a track with some slow, tight, spots with a hairpin or chiquane or something and then a really fast part of the track where you can take the turns at about 20-30 mph. I think on-road nitro would be best in this category. these are just my thoughts and good luck on it.

I like really long races have like an Indy 500 or somthing like 5 hours long and half way through you have to like change out the engine or take a pit stop to change the heat sink that would be awsome as for the track I thing it should be off road and have burm turnes you can fly aroun at like 40mph. then some strait aways and maby like a 30 foot thing of samd you have to go through that would be cool. Then a table top and like ten little jups in a row so you would either have to go over then and not screw up or take the risk of trying to fully clear them all. I would race there any day. for the engine cooling thing maby you could use some upside down dust off cus man that stuff is cold instead of changing heat sincks or put like an ice cube in the middle.

Ya! thats what I say! Just go around in circle and then go home and say you had fun? What a JOKE! You gota have something more fun! (not a dumb ovle track(were you go around in circles) I would not race on them!)
You gota have someting with alot of jumps and turns (burms) and all that NICE stuff!
P.S. Go around in circles? give me a brake!

Hey, that's NASCAR (Non Athletic Sport Centered Around Rednecks)! :D Try to emulate the LeMans road coarse (you'd have to make it even less then 1/10th scale otherwise it would be a mile long about).

Copy an actual Road Course in 1/10 scale. Somebody said LeMans, good idea. Or you could do Mosport (in Ontario) or any of the Formula 1 tracks. Racing on a track like Monte Carlo in 1/10 scale would be awesome

Click visitors guide, for each of the tracks there is a layout under circuit map. I have been driving on Oulton park, kind of race driver experience program, and I think that might be a nice one to copy. There are other famous British tracks too, Silverstone, Brands Hatch etc. Good luck.
