Peculiar track

[Chulk]

Here's another example. Cleaner this time.

It functions like a 4x5 composite track element.
The idea is to zigzag between the water.
Since the chicane functions like a full asphalt tile,
there is no way to replicate this kind of zigzag by following the road.
No penalty time was charged, though it may be better to put a solid bridge tile on the water so you can't drive half over the water and half over land. That could give you penalty time too.

Doesn't mean much. Just a fun effect. If there would ever be an asphalt terrain tile, the possibilities would be far exceeded.

This is a good idea, but in this particular layout, the easternmost side of both "chicane lanes" is a continous straight path of chicane/fast grass.

Thanks, you're totally correct. I missed it.

There's a way to save it. I received no penalty time.

Just for fun...

A combination of Karting and Stunts.
Drove it with the SuperKart.
That Kart is so agile, that it is lots of fun.
I could have put an inclined road in there too.

There are so many more ways to use these chicanes.
I had made this one yesterday, though here you may cheat a little by missing a tunnel.
But if you can use tunnels as checkpoints, it may work too.

Glad you enjoyed this stuff.

We should use more tracks or add section tracks like these in the competitions. Looks like fresh ideas and fun. Ok no stunts or jumps that's why I thought about sections and maybe not a entire competition track like this. But it looks very interesting to try.

[mrdries]

Am I allowed to make a page about composite or simulated track elements on the Stunts Wiki?

Then people can add new elements later.

It seems that I don't get penalty time as long as I didnt' skip more than 2 track elements.

Yesterday, I thought an 180 degree turn on full asphalt would be impossible. But it is. This is a possible set up. That's just an example of how it could be done.
It is faster than going for the penalty time.

This is another kind of chicane

This is simply another kind of chicane, while driving diagonally.

And here is the track file from the previous post.

I'm not sure it is really needed though.
I've already given so many examples here.

This is the curve around the pond. But that one already appeared in one of the tracks.

Even this one works??

The asphalt surface seems to present everywhere even though the tiles overlap.

[Overdrijf]

Now that one is cool. We call that an  illusion element, a multi-tile element will work as long as the top left tile is present, and you can overlap it with other multi-tile elements for cool interactions. In this case I would indeed expect that all of the chicane tiles are full asphalt.

[mrdries]

I see. I was lucky to have kept the upper left corner free.

Well, I've been acting a little obsessed about these things.

So here is the 180 degree turn with something else than tunnels. To make it look a bit more interesting.

Here is the short 90 degree turn.

And here's a track that insists that you go the wrong way through the finish line. Only to drive through it, a bit later, in the right direction.

Sure! Check your PMs 

We have an article on illusion tracks, the more specific concept Overdrijf mentioned, but though related that's not same as your idea. A broader catalog of combinations could be pretty useful indeed!   

[dreadnaut]

@mrdries Loving these odd combinations, they gave me a few ideas for future tracks   And reminded me of your awesome trial tracks, which I'll go and try again!

Could you upload the screenshots as PNGs in the future? BMP files are huge!

[mrdries]

Yeah, true. PNG will do.

Thanks to the both of you!

[mrdries]

Learned a bit about overlapping tiles.
People have been really inventive about this.
Can't always get it to work.
But this one worked out.

This one is interesting too.

It'd be nice to have an actual race on a track that had a section like that
