Proposed AutomodEx Race Track

2010FEB09 UPDATE

for EP we get the full technical layout, for GP less twist and more flat-outs, for minis a lot of left and right turns, less straight.

anymore comments guys.. we need to finalize this by today clown

2010FEB07 UPDATE

This is to inform you that Automodex have decided to remove the OFF-ROAD Track categories for the following reasons:

•Only 5 participants registered on line for 2 weeks campaign
•Off Road Track is really hard to set-up

Thus, we will go back to the original track layout.

made some changes to meet the standards clown

2010JAN25 UPDATE

we were ask to divide the track in two to give way for the off-road track. so now we have 20X30 meters for each, on-road and off-road. ive already done some few sketches for the onroad track but im afraid the track width stays at 3.5m.

revised layout based on drivers comments..

After a week of planning we’re finally done with the proposed layout for touring, drifting and drag
racing which we will be using for the comming automodex event.

FULL SIZE

Your comments and suggestions are welcomed. Feel free to offer any comments you may have about the layout. Suggestions on which materials to use. As of now i think this wont be a permanent one so its gonna be stored and be used for future events.

road width is around 3.5 meters depends on which material they will use. total area just for the track layout is 60x20 meters. you think 3.5 width is enough?

Yep, I'd say 3.5m is right on.
I did some reading, but could not find any clear regulations for 1/10 on-road. For 1/10 off-road minimum was 3m, with exception for 2.5m on some track sections. But I think with our driving skills blush

and the slippery surface we need wider so 3.5 I think is ideal.

Good work.....let's see if we can make it happen.

Came across this idea for track barriers on a forum.

Water Noodles!

They even have connectors.

Seems like a good idea to me, they are soft and flexible so we can make sweeping corners etc. Just need to think how to secure them. Let damage to c
What
do you guys think.

Nice idea Greg! good thinking!

If they dont mind us drilling into the surface of the track they could just be bolted through the centre of the noodle into the ground, with some heavy duty rwal bolts and some washers....

Gud pm sir altimeters. Your design is great! Just have one question, is it possible to adjust the width of the track to minimum 4.5 mtrs. as per international standard? Also, pit stop should always be close to drivers' podium. Kindly check the link below regarding ifmar ruling for 1/10th track design standard for nitro and electric touring.

If I recall, the area that has been provided for the event is limited, right Jay? Besides, just to get an event done for a one-off is not going to have to conform to any standards... smile

I got your point bro. But considering that there will be nitro boys running their 45,000 rpm tuned engines with 2 speed on the track, a width of less than 3.5 meters will be difficult for them especially when maneuvering in corners without applying brakes.

Anyway, i still have to meet with Ronald (from the organizer) by next week so I can discuss this further with him aside from the 1/8th nitro offroads. As for the track design, I have really no question about it and I really admire and love the design created by sir jay. It's just that at least, we really have to consider making some adjustment particularly with the track width. :cheers:

Woah Ahmed, you've learnt to speak Tagalog? I think it's Tagalog...
Oh, and make sure that there are a couple of elevated platforms for the drivers to stand on.

@sir jhun! thanks for your comments. ive already read thru the IFMAR rules set and yes we have a some that doesnt meet the standards. the given area for the event is limitted to 20X60 meters only, so following the 4.5 meter standard we might end up having an oval track with a few cuves. with regards to the pits thats as close as it gets to the drivers stand, i think that will do.

now the bad news lol.. we were ask to divide the track in two to give way for the off-road track. so now we have 20X30 meters for each, on-road and off-road. ive already done some few sketches for the onroad track but im afraid the track width stays at 3.5m.

with regards to the off-road track its all up to you sir jhun. they really need your help on this one specially with the layout and construction of the track. we really need a meeting with the automodex guys.

last but not least, automodex still doesnt have a race comittee.. anybody willing to be one? clown
