I have been attempting to make the ultimate track for epic online racing. I have made some short tracks that flow well and are easy to learn in 10 minutes, as well as creating mammoth 6 mile plus tracks with more corners than 'The Stig' has brain cells. :dunce:

But I have a question for my fellow racees. What track length do you like the mostest?
 
I had some 6 and 7 plus Toscana Tracks. But I'm disappointed to seen that old tracks can't be used on-line.

So, I'll have to start all over again.
 
Well, so far on Mt. Aso, all tracks are now limited to 1.5-2 miles, which sucks because before the update i could make tracks 2 or 3 miles in length
 
Long course maker tracks are hard to learn quickly, so I voted short ones.
It would be nice to have in longer ones an option to enable navigator indications (maybe at the cost of added weight?).
 
I did a 0.94 mike drift track, really all I wanted to feature was a long straight then a good banking right turn followed by a sweeping left and that's it, but as you adjust the track it changes up whole turns. I'll get it.
 
I don't have just 1 answer...

For short (sprint) races I like 2-3 mile tracks. For endurance races I like longer tracks.

Since most online races are sprint races I picked 2-3 miles.

Most of my created tracks are right around 3 miles.
 
For those who haven't used these tracks online yet I should mention that tracks can be made from scratch or modified on the spot (although its limited) so you dont need a huge track list on hand.

I do prefer shorter simple tracks for online to get people started and used to these kind of tracks. Then you can get into more complex tracks once you have a good competent room.

I love long, twisty Toscana tracks. So I voted for the 4 miles+ option.
 
Much prefer long, fast tracks with hardly any slow corners, where you never have to go below 150mph, and just drive, I've got a nice 5 mile track that's under a minute with the x1, about 1.30 with high le mans/group cs
