I was just curious if anyone knew of any good, large areas for driving in-game vehicles very, very fast. The roads I've found on the mainland tend to have too much popping up on the sides to rez the road at anything but a snail's pace and I usually end up driving off it or running into a dead end. I've often wondered if anyone has taken a large plot of relatively empty land and plopped a racetrack or something similiar down on it... and if so, where that could be found.

Any tips on finding a good place to drive fast (without having to load alot of background clutter) would be awesome!

The vehicle sims, starting in Balance, are great. (Well, not great, but better than the rest of the mainland.)

There's one motorbike track I found once. sorry I don't remember where it is.. but it's the same guy that built Sim Invaders & most of the working pool tables.

do a search for 'racing' in the places tab. i believe the name Silver Sports Motor Complex is the home of a great NASCAR track along with the previous post, the SL Motorcycle something something has a great road course built.

both on their own sim so rezzing is not a problem for the most part.

Cheers!

There is a Fairly large Race Course laid out in a few sims just North of the Four Main Sandboxes. This would be South East of the Ahern "Four Corners" Welcome area. Sorry about the Imprecise directions but i haven't been in that region in Months.

Someone else will Fill in the names i'm sure.

Angel.

I'm at work, so not in the game atm, but have a notecard at my car showroom with a couple of tracks on it.

#1. I think one is a Sim called MISP, they had a road track and an off-road track last time I was there.

#2. There's another that I can't remember the name of, that is a real nice road track. It's in my notecard though.

#3. There's also a Nascar track that I found once (Silver.... something).


Drop by my showroom in PG Motors in the Sim 'Wagaland', click on the black sign for a notecard, LM's for Misp and the second track are at the bottom of the notecard.


If anyone else has more to list, I would be interested myself in finding them, I'm always looking for places to drive without dropping through the ground.

There is a great motocycle racing group and track. I will have to check my landmarks in game for the info though.
