Racing Roads Kit
============
• Carefully optimized physics for best riding experience
• Manually created LOD models for low land impact
• All parts fit into building grid 1m for easy assembling
• Contains textures incl. AO and UV map (you can use them to create your own textures)

Dimensions
=========
Default width of road surface: 22.0 m
Default width of road segment: 24.0 m

The width of these roads is designed for racing speed. It is not recommended to shrink the curved parts, because the physics weight (land impact) can rise in SL. Of course, the straight parts can be resized as needed. Just note that the land impact of mesh in SL always varies with its scale.

If you want to link more parts together, note that the maximal allowed distance for linking in SL is 54m.

Mesh Physics
===========
I paid a lot of attention to creating mesh physics which ensures the best possible riding experience. Thanks to that there is finally no vehicle bouncing or jamming into walls as known from other roads:-)

The physics of these roads is non-convex, because of the side walls which makes the shape concave (non-convex). Therefore the Physics Shape Type must be set to Prim Type (this options keeps the original non-convex shape).

LOD Distance Factor
===============
These roads has manually created LOD models for low land impact and pleasant look, but it is always better to set your viewer to increase the LOD distance.
You can find this option under Preferences - Graphics - Objects & Sculpts LOD (maximal value is preferred).

I thought I had written a review already. If I did then Miki deserves more than one from anyone who buys this kit and the others she has created. Seriously, if you love to ride, then you truly can not go wrong with these tracks. Well thought out even though some have complained about land impact, I do not see the issue here if you plan accordingly cause these tracks are all they say they are and more. I have been building since 2006 and nothing comes close to these creations. Should have 10 stars but LL only allows us 5..What are you waiting for ! BUY IT !!

Bought this immediately after buying and trying the oval track. Thanks for finally making a kit with textures on all the faces. Such a small thing and so important. Leaps and bounds ahead of other track building kits. If you want to design your own flawlessly smooth tracks buy this kit. End of story.

Just what I needed

Added this to a pre-made track (sorry it was taking me forever, so I cheated). I had some of my family help me align the pieces and wa-lahhh perfect!
