My daughters and I are currently building a slot car track together. As we come from a long line of proud Texans, we took the time to come up with Texas-themed names for all of our turns. The two main straights are named after Carroll Shelby and A. J. Foyt. Except for tire sponsors and the like, all of our track sponsors are also Texas based companies. This part of the project was surprisingly engaging for my girls and it turned the project away from just crafting and made it into a history lesson for the girls. I found out just how little my girls are learning in their history classes, and I got to introduce them to some neat places and historical events along the way. Having named curves makes it far easier for my daughters to follow races on TV, but it’s downright invaluable on a slot car track. They struggle with remembering turn numbers, but when you name them it just sticks. The same is true for adult race fans, we just don’t realize it.
One of the most wholesome videos I’ve seen in the sim racing sphere, I think every racing fan has had a dream of building a racetrack, this is an awesome rendition of yours!
This is fantastic, i love this kind of videos. Also, i love the idea of circuits existing only in videogames, where things like permits, traffic roads, and construction costs are not an impediment to turn any road into a circuit. Make a good laptime before making it public. We need a base line!
I've long fancied designing a race track or two. Thanks, this video shows its possible to do so in a real world location with some simple software & be able to race it. Absolutely fantastic
This looks like a lot of things, but certainly not like a first attempt. The transformation from barren wasteland to actual track is stunning! Seeing all the subtle height changes and camber in the road, I imagine this might be a challenging track. I'd love to drive some laps there. Not only hotlaps, but an actual race. There's enough width to this track to see overtaking/defending action all over the place. Hat's off to you, it is magnificent!
I think if you made this a group project type deal so many people would jump into help with this and bring your dream to reality, bringing this track to its full potential
Chris, just to say thanks. This video inspired me to create a track from scratch called Pinwheel. I followed the same method by sketching everything first by hand which helped massively. Thank you.
Chris! As an ex Sandhurst lad, who used to hang out with a certain Blancpain Driver called Tom at the Karting end of the place (I was the spanners...) AND as a Sim racer myself.. Its great to see this built! Looks FANTASTIC. If you're interested, myself and another guy from Dunn Motorsport would love to get this track into a race series with Clios! Give me a shout if you're keen and we'll has out the details!
This video is really, incredibly inspiring. I purchased RTB a few years ago, tried to re-create my local track, could never get it working, and gave up. But after seeing this, I promptly re-installed RTB and continued where I left off (I quickly ended up starting from scratch) But now I have 2 tracks under my belt, plus another 2 in the works, and yes theres the RTB stigma, but I've had remarkable amounts of good feedback. Hearing comments of peoples memories of one of the old, permanently closed tracks I built is really heartwarming, and makes me love the racing community further.
Im a 2000's kid. Back in the 80's, California had Ontario Motor Speedway which would have been my local race track. I always loved the idea of a racetrack which was certified for Formula 1, IndyCar, NASCAR, and NHRA drag racing. Unfortunately it ran very few events in the short decade it was open. This gives me some hope in finding a way to drive something that somewhat resembles the track.
Every kid's dream. So many racetracks made round local parks and estates that I drew on paper and would have loved to have playable like this. Might have to get a hold of this software
I was thinking of building my own AC track a year ago, but I thought it was to difficult... But now, it seems easy - I know it takes a long time to finish a track, but I guess you dont need weird texture files or any external program except the Race track builder. I think I will give this a shot!
My hometown had three tracks in total from right after the war until the mid 50s. Should be interesting to make it a project and interpret them how they might look today (or might have looked back then). Great, inspiring video, thank you, Chris!
Pretty sure I saw data sets that are free LiDAR captured, elevation data which had centimeter if not meters resolution available for the entire UK. That could help you.
I never knew this program existed. Amazing. Just like op, I too had childhood dreams of seeing some of my neighbourhood streets as a track. I would stare at my street directory and imagine the track. Now I can build it.
Great job Chris! I hope it inspires all the kids who grow up in Monaco to one day think that there could be a race around their.... oh hang on a minute...
That’s superb mate. I did a project back a school creating a racing circuit on some MOD land near where I lived. Nice to be able to do stuff like this now with the tools available!
Going back 30-35 years ago i had the same idea. Its so amazing that the track layout is pretty much already there. Great video brought back many memories for being a kid
Man, I did the exact same thing and went through the exact same emotions. There was a perimeter of paths around my parents and a few neighbours houses I used to do laps in a bike as a 5-7 yo. Always thought of it as a race track. Then sim racing and bob track builder came along. I had heaps of fun doing it.
Back in the days when I was racing rFactor, I was thinking about making the streets where I lived into my personal sim-racing racetrack. Seeing this video now left me speechless...it really can be done!?!? I have to think about this loooong and hard. 😁 Please more on this subject!
I can see the emotions on your face Chris, I can almost feel it myself. 😍 Very cool to have such a marvelous experience after finding the right tools in this digital age. We're so blessed to have these opportunities. I do like the idea to put the track up on RD so we can see how it evolves. And I have no doubt somebody could probably do an amazing job of improving it. BUT it's YOUR track. You and only you can decide the flow and where to put things like the grand stands. Personally I'd try to reduce the circuit vibe and focus on the airport vibe. Smaller stands, more simplistic might add to it. And the whole width of the runway should be visible but perhaps by adding lines or guardrails split it in a narrower section for driving might help. Also add more bushes trees and stuff will help. And then hand it over to a professional for a touch up. And let's do a race sometime. I'd be honored if you could drop me an invite 😎🏁
I can’t reiterate enough how many times I’ve been rewatching multiple of your videos, so it was quite a relief to see a new one uploaded recently. Loved it of course and can’t wait for next (two) week’s video.
I've been messing with that program for months and noticed you were doing things i didn't even know existed in that program! Really inspired me to go back and finish the 30+ tracks i already started on. I got a bad habit of getting them roughly as far as you did, then moving on to a new project. Never really got around to getting the bumps and terrain just right. If you ever figure out how to add water such as ponds,lakes, or rivers please let me know 🙏 that is the number one thing holding me up on atleast half of my projects, as i originally assumed it wouldn't be hard to figure out and built them all with that assumption. 😪
Epic achievement unlocked! Who knows how many people have some concept "my neighborhood" racetrack rattling around in their brain - I know I do, but may never find the time to actually realize it. Good on you for making it happen. Also, brilliant car choice btw. One of my absolute faves. Though you should try the non-GT4 variant for some proper heel-toe track fun 😊😎
Well done, sir. You have the talent, tools and patience I lack. I await the announcement that you have secured private funding to break ground on the racetrack. The above sentence I hope you know is my tongue and cheek humor.
Ahh i remember going to blackbushe market on cold Sunday mornings. People used to to go their all the way from the south coast back in the day the market was that good. I wonder if they still race go-karts still there.
This reminds me when I started to make rally stages with BTB for Richard burns rally, the procces is long, tedious and painfull but it's joyfull and solving issues and testing the work you have done is a lot of fun
Having worked in and out of the BCA Blackbushe site for a year or so, I can absolutely agree that a race track would be a much better use for the land!
Man, this is awesome. Great work! Any way you'd be able to race against the AI on your track? I imagine you'd have to somehow program the AI to even work.
Yeah AI need to be trained to follow the racing line. It takes like 3 months usually but sometimes u get lucky and get it in 2 or extremely unlucky and get it in 4+. Depends on if the AI want to be nice
You speak through all video with passion and smile and i share that feelings. If F1 (or F2) want something new im sure this is perfect location for new track. It was really fun to watch all this. I can imagine this track in real life. Im always open to any knd of ideas. This was idea for Assetto Corsa, but it can be implemented in real life location. Why not to use old airfield and tracks around it to build something useful to motorsport and community. Great track, to be honest 👏👍
I used to drop cars into Blackbushe. So I've stood on your racetrack. Very cool to see a place I've been turned into a racetrack. One criticism of the video; I'd have liked to have seen a lap of the finished track from the drivers viewpoint. We never got to see your finished track in all its glory.
There’s a potential layout here in Easton, Pa that I’ve come to be aware of over the years that I think would be pretty amazing if I could do it enough justice. There’d be three long straights, plenty of sweepers, left and right, several hairpins or near hairpins, one of them murderous, and lots and lots of elevation changes. The scenery could be awesome, too, running from countryside to neighborhoods and back, with two rivers thrown in for good measure. I’ve pondered it idly for a long time, tweaking it in my mind, and this video makes me think I just might be able to do it, after all. Certainly I’ve got enough time on my hands these days.
Don't call using tools cheating. It doesn't matter what tools you use, the end result is what counts. If some purist insists on doing it the slow and tedious way, that's their decision and their time. It would also be totally valid to use the Race Track Builder as a starting point and refining it from there with other more powerful software.
Never heard of this before and just looked it up. The 1922 version looks even better. Might even be better than the famous Pescara circuit as I can imagine Livorno would have more elevation changes
I'm sure you have a better perspective on making a race track for a game than the rest of us after this outing, but you did give us a glimpse of what it would take. GJ

I like how it avoids the usual problem most ‘based on an old airfield layout’ tracks have, in that it has a really nice amount of elevation change!
I deliberately made the track go across the two bits of hill on the site :D
Also no thumpity-thumpity expanded concrete like at Sebring and some others.
I really like "flowy" tracks even if I'm one of the slowest. I hate "stop-go" tracks.

Wow, what a fantastic work for a childhood dream. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Chris haye one of the best sim racer RUclipsrs out there
Well done, sir. You have the talent, tools and patience I lack.
I await the announcement that you have secured private funding to break ground on the racetrack.
The above sentence I hope you know is my tongue and cheek humor.
Ahh i remember going to blackbushe market on cold Sunday mornings.
People used to to go their all the way from the south coast back in the day the market was that good.
I wonder if they still race go-karts still there.
This reminds me when I started to make rally stages with BTB for Richard burns rally, the procces is long, tedious and painfull but it's joyfull and solving issues and testing the work you have done is a lot of fun
Chris this is awesome man, well done. What a lovely video 🥰
Omg you used my workshop pack im so happy! Im CTA_Racer from steam
Having worked in and out of the BCA Blackbushe site for a year or so, I can absolutely agree that a race track would be a much better use for the land!
Man, this is awesome. Great work! Any way you'd be able to race against the AI on your track? I imagine you'd have to somehow program the AI to even work.
Yeah AI need to be trained to follow the racing line. It takes like 3 months usually but sometimes u get lucky and get it in 2 or extremely unlucky and get it in 4+. Depends on if the AI want to be nice
You speak through all video with passion and smile and i share that feelings. If F1 (or F2) want something new im sure this is perfect location for new track. It was really fun to watch all this. I can imagine this track in real life. Im always open to any knd of ideas. This was idea for Assetto Corsa, but it can be implemented in real life location. Why not to use old airfield and tracks around it to build something useful to motorsport and community.
Great track, to be honest 👏👍
Thank you for naming a corner after me
As someone who grew up in Farnboro I'm scarily excited to see this when it's finished :-)
Reminds me of Sebring international raceway with it be used during the way as well. Great job 👏🏼
I used to drop cars into Blackbushe. So I've stood on your racetrack. Very cool to see a place I've been turned into a racetrack. One criticism of the video; I'd have liked to have seen a lap of the finished track from the drivers viewpoint. We never got to see your finished track in all its glory.
Incredible to be able to combine one of your neighborhood place and the conception of a track for you!
GREAT! I wanna RACE in this track!
There’s a potential layout here in Easton, Pa that I’ve come to be aware of over the years that I think would be pretty amazing if I could do it enough justice. There’d be three long straights, plenty of sweepers, left and right, several hairpins or near hairpins, one of them murderous, and lots and lots of elevation changes. The scenery could be awesome, too, running from countryside to neighborhoods and back, with two rivers thrown in for good measure. I’ve pondered it idly for a long time, tweaking it in my mind, and this video makes me think I just might be able to do it, after all. Certainly I’ve got enough time on my hands these days.
Don't call using tools cheating. It doesn't matter what tools you use, the end result is what counts.
If some purist insists on doing it the slow and tedious way, that's their decision and their time.
It would also be totally valid to use the Race Track Builder as a starting point and refining it from there with other more powerful software.
another level.Your passion for these sim titles is why i look forward to your vids
now that all you people know about Racetrack Builder, can someone PLEASE make Livorno 1937 so I don't have to?
Never heard of this before and just looked it up. The 1922 version looks even better. Might even be better than the famous Pescara circuit as I can imagine Livorno would have more elevation changes
I pray for a giant main road map of the Swiss alps. Just imagine. All the topography, the passes, the hairpin turns ...
If I had AC I would be begging you to finish this Chris. I love this track. You just can't keep it to yourself.....Can you? LOL
I'm sure you have a better perspective on making a race track for a game than the rest of us after this outing, but you did give us a glimpse of what it would take. GJ
I was half expecting this to start with: "Welcome.... to the Eboladrome."
