Wuhooo! Come on Pete, time to get dizzy!
Thanks, ginetto, and Remy, luna for helping.

Ha ha, thanks Ginetto, this is a nice piece of fun! Thanks for providing a nice map and labelling "Turn One" so clearly to help us all learn the layout more easily! I hear there might be a little trouble ahead though. The trade union for front-left tyres is complaining that their members are overworked at this circuit and will be demanding extra pay whenever we drive here!

So what's my best time here? It's definitely the few minutes I spent with the lovely girl in the pink mini-skirt.   I would love to give you more details and tell you exactly how long it was, but there might be some under-18's reading this forum, so I'm afraid I can't.

A little hint though - if you can find the trick of where to drive the quickest lap, you can easily break the current GPL Lap Record of somewhere around 9 or 10 seconds, which is currently held by Pants Ring! Ginetto, it's so that  you now have the "fastest" track in GPL!


Breaking News:
Niki Lauda to make surprise comeback to F1 driving!

Lauda released a press statement a few minutes ago which reads:

"Originally when I retired from driving in Formula One, I said that I had become bored with just driving around in circles. Now that I've seen Ginetto's Volcano test track, I realise that maybe the tracks I was driving on were NOT really that boring after all, so I decided to come back and drive again."

Bye for now!

This skidpad was built to go in the future GPL demo; I hope it will see the light someday.

Is a circle with no boundaries, that means you can pass through its center without hitting any wall.
You can obviously go in any directions you want and try any kind of maneuver to set up the car.
Being on top of a mountain you can also try to fly out of it and see how it feels to be like Icarus

Being close to the magma gives the word "hotlapping" a whole new meaning, doesn't it?  

[M Needforspeed]

great idea ginetto; Thousand thks for this !

No one cares for the nice birds around the track ? Those lovely babes keep my racing line always on the larger possible radius, so at this track, I will start always at the back of the grid

[gliebzeit]

Heh, buddy.... this is a perfect track for testing handling.  Great stuff.  Plus, it is always good to see your sense of humor!!  
Isn't this the first track that you've done completely by yourself..... since way back when you made your first one.... Fiorano?

Saiph, Manfred and Michel... you guys crack me up!
