I like the idea of the the alpha boards and curbs. Defiantly going to improve a lot of layouts. 1m high and 80cm wide seems a great size.

Some polystyrene boards we can use for advert placement would be great too through the pics file. The existing ones are good but as they are solid they can't really be placed in the line of fire. And the addition of a pics layer to the back of the existing countdown boards would be great too.

Another great addition would be some big 'flag panels' similar to the ones on the blackwood back straight. Controllable via the same sort of commands as the traffic lights. Layers for Green, Red and Yellow would be great but the addition of SC, VSC and even blue would be perfection. This would open up some great options with insims for race events. I think it would be best to have them without the pole as we can just use concrete pillars where needed to make them appear 'supported' and maintain the added flexibility to 'hang' them from places.

Layout Racing League 2022- Announcement


Hello racers!

We are pleased to bring you the return of the Layout Racing League!

The series will continue to use layout circuits, with varying cars at each meeting. We have made a few small tweaks to the format for 2022. Each race will now run to laps (equalling approx. 40 minutes green flag racing) with a maximum time of 1 hour. There will still be one mandatory pit stop during the race. We have added two non-championship special events taking place at some iconic track layouts with some iconic cars.

The schedule:
Round0a - Indycar Grand Prix Streets of Long Beach - TBD
Round 1 - Broker Hill - GTi
Round 2 - YES Ring by Trespasser – LX4
Round 3 - Mini Monaco - UFBR
Round 4 - Scawen Racetrack – LX4
Round 5 - RGE Sprint-8 – GTi
Round 6 - KY33 Long by Trespasser – FZ5
Round 7 - Lmaoring - GTi
Round 8 - 9397 Karousel Fern Bay - TBO
Round0b - V8SC Gold Coast 600 - TBD

Round 0a and Round 0b are both NON-CHAMPIONSHIP EVENTS

Some interesting results there. Regarding the car classes, I think it would be interesting to see who the individual answers correlate to the standard answers. There seem to be a lot of mention of LMP, prototype and GT style cars there.
Great work Thilo!
