Talking Wrexham Model Car Club - New outdoor track

Here at Wrexham Model Car Club we are currently flattening a piece of land on site ready for a brand new off-road track. The trouble is we as a club have not done off-road for a few years now and we want to do this new track the best we can.

So what I am asking is what do you all think of the idea and also what kind of a track/features would you like to see on it? The land we have is 45M long and 35M wide at one end and 15M at the other. We are open to any ideas and hopefully track designs.

Thanks

Adrian Jones (Race Director)

Jumps and plenty of them so we can get plenty of 'AIR' time.
Banked corners and multi surfaces.

Rythym Sections...

"Consistent" Doubles with a decent landing area or downslope
A Large table top with a long down ramp so you can get good air, so it feels really good when you get a nice landing!

Some imaginative corners or the ability to change the layout, and NO CONCRETE or TARMAC sections, they just kill tyres and are not fun!

Fast and flowing to get the most out of the motors etc, muti-surface with table top and jumps, imaginative aspects that will make a car's handling vary. Make it as challenging to the top drivers as us mere mortals.

If you need Astroturf for the track try contacting McArdle Astroturf, they are happy to give it away if you can collect it. Be aware it's very heavy.

Hello I've looked on the Wrexham model car club website it seems like it hasn't been updated in along time. Also people dont seem to know much about it anymore lack of information about alot of it.

I'm wandering whats going on with this Wrexham club. I've checked Mold and Oswestry car modeling clubs they seem to be up to date and better informed with whats going on with there clubs.
