Just checked the article, really good!  Yes, between these tricks and illusion tracks, there's a lot to do to have the most varied tracks. One thing I like doing from time to time in my tracks is using long jumps. For some strange reason, Stunts doesn't see that ramp->space->elevated-road->ramp is not the same as ramp->elevated-road->space->ramp, so it allows you to create double-jumps this way. I'm sure there are many more tricks that could discover to enhance tracks

Yeah, I like that one. So you're meant to make the long jump? That's not easy. But I like that.

I can confirm that it is possible to jump 3 spaces when starting from a hill with the Indy at 245mph.

I have come along jumps like this too. Which are not hard but still fun.

It's kind of cheating. But there's this weird jump with the help of a banked road.
If you drive this track below with the indy, going at 245mph, driving in the middle of the road to avoid the blocks, straight towards the banked road, you get blown in the air and end up somewhere on the big corner. Though you don't really have to drive in the middle to accomplish it. And it doesn't work every time.

Here's one last trick. The idea is to enter the pipe almost sideways to save time and make a counterclockwise loop while doing so, then make a clockwise loop and leave the pipe, again to save time.
But I'm not sure that's really the fastest way to do it. And it is tough too. Took me like 10 times to pull it off.
Had a 28:25 with the Jaguar.

Yeah, but when you told me your idea, I was imagining something similar to this.
I'm not sure this one is faster but with a sharp ice corner, it should be..

There's this one too, which confuses me a lot. It's like taking a chicane on a corkscrew!

I have no idea why I didn't do what you were thinking.
Your idea is fine and simple.
The thing was, I forgot that the illusion track would make me slow down.
I was imagining I'd still enjoy the fast grass of the chicane while reaching the cork.

90° corkscrew
Didn't need to use the illusion thing for this one.

Few other things too

So I guess this one works as a 2x2 corner?
That's amazing, guess I'll have to add that one too.

That makes it much simpler than what I had done..

And there is an wildcard option to extend it.
Because 2*2 and 1*2 pieces can be cut off, if the base tile is intact.

I like your idea. I tried this one and it looks really beautiful.
I'll add a link to your page one of these days.

So is it possible to get a 1x2 chicane surface?

With your finding and also the illusion tracks i sometimes don't see the intended paths. Your explanatory example was very helpful in showing the principle. But is it possible to add a "ghost path" to the image to aid visualisation?

I could, I thought about doing that. I was a little lazy still.    I could add a pic to show the simulated track element, like in the introduction.
Sometimes, the intended path may not be the fastest. Though I think it mostly is. Please feel free to edit the page with better examples too.

The fastest path should always be the intended path. If it isn't... then it is clearly pointless to take it.
I made it a bit confusing since sometimes it's not always clear where one is coming from, when taking the path. I might make it more clear by switching the confusing images to clearer ones.

Yeah, so glad there's a bug on the chicane. To allow all of this. 
It's surprising how much there is to explore for drivers.
Like the track below... could it be faster to take the pipe almost sideways, make a loop in it and come out on the other side? It does work.
Would even be possible to put a wall in the pipe and make a loop over it.

Thanks!!

Created a topic for this to make it more visible.
Here's the catalogue:

Enjoy! 

A circle...

Thanks to everyone for the support.

I love this one. Quite narrow at times. And all the chicanes dropped in so smoothly, like pieces of a puzzle.
I stumbled on this one by accident. The total width is 5. There are 5x5 corners hidden inside. One to the left, then one to the right.
So these 5x5 corners must be pretty high speed tolerant!

This one is interesting too.
