There was a recent post on the forum where someone asked about creating a stadium as part of the still being updated South City layout, and Scawen thought it might be good idea to have a standalone Stadium.
So, I ported one of my old Race of Champion (RoC) layouts (used to be in the sky on SO4), down to ground level on the Layout Square to get some idea of how it might look.
The track layout covers an area of approx 179 x 92 metres, and is only setup as speed run / time trial, and the track is approx. 1 km (0.62 miles) in length. Track approx 8m wide.
Layout is enclosed, so no way to drive in and out, which the person who posted may have been thinking about.
It's possible to shrink the track lengthwise by taking about 16m off it, but not really the breadth, so track could be made to fit into 163 x 92 metre space, which may be quite big for a lot of real life stadiums.
Now converted to reverse configuration, but (as keeping the same lapper databases to record times and scores) as LA2 layout.
Set some times as I was changing signage and pit lane round. Most easily beatable, although I really tried hard to set good times with the town bus and Land Roamer mods.
This layout, like most of mine, is a single-lap time trial layout.
A single player does a lap, and times/drift scores are recorded and saved. There's an option (!top or !drift) to compare times/scores with other drivers.
The bridges were put in to both upset the balance of the vehicles, as you may need to have ride height slightly higher/softer suspension than optimum than if the track was totally flat, and it also gives the track a little bit of undulation.

Also attached table that shows top times for every vehicle type (standard LFS vehicles and a selection of mods) that's allowed to be driven on the server.
