I've just had a go with this and its not half bad. I think the way to do it would be to copy the track 1 night as close as possible on this software and see how many grid spaces it takes up.

Think it was about 6.5 / 5.7 it was a lot more square than we thought , I will bring a big measure on Friday night :thumbsup:

We wont be able to get it exact using this tool, but this is pretty close. Unfortunately cant do anything too extravegant as its limited to using 1 grid square for track width, so ideally need to use a 5x6 grid to be close.

Heres a quick one to get us started, I reckon we make a load and vote on them week to week :)

looks good that Danny. anyone feel free to have a go and post up tracks. we can have a quick web vote on the best ones to do each week. probably won't turn out exact when building, but its a good starter to get something close.

Another. This one has a crossover jump, placed near stage in bottom corner, facing away, with the runing direction upto the start loop. Obviously we'd need to make that jump.
