Horse drawn carriage racing

Something that doesn't use wheels.

I used to go to this racetrack called "Brooklands" which was the first ever purpose built circuit in the world. Perhaps somebody could make a gmod version of Brooklands, albeit with the clubhouse, garages, test-hill and perhaps some planes in the skybox? I'll post up some pics so you know what I mean: [t]http://speedhunters-wp-production.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Brooklands-050.jpg[/t] That's an ariel view of it today, it no longer works as now there's a industrial estate in the middle and therefore the main road had to cut through the banking -_- [t]http://speedhunters-wp-production.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Brooklands-012.jpg[/t] That's it with labels n shit. And yes, there is a Mercedes benz museum and test track there, expensive af cafe though, I have drifted around there in a A class before, bloody great fun. [t]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/69/Brooklands_Members'_Banking_from_bridge.jpg[/t] that's the banking today [t]http://www.racedepartment.com/attachments/brooklands-1-jpg.82086/[/t] that was it then. [t]https://www.weddingfairs.com/img/38467a31ec.png[/t] that's the clubhouse, full of toilets and a lounge, could perhaps be a spawn area. Houses a really shit cafe, which they serve tea in cardboard cups ffs.

Sorry for the lengthy post but if someone replicated this in gmod, I would frankly piss myself with joy (since it was my childhood and it being one of the greatest ever places to visit in my opinion) -edit- [t]https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CJLE7WB763g/hqdefault.jpg[/t] Just realised that it was in a dreamcast game :v: and for aircraft builders, there is 3/4 of a wellington bomber in there Where I'm going with this is with this map we could do a Time trial around the banking, call the event "Double 12" [I unno, sounds cool and they do one irl] and perhaps just do a general car shits n giggles event. I mean I've been in a london bus when they sent it around the banking, nearly fell over, but it legit did it, could add a "other" class as Der Defender said. Right now I'm brainstorming ideas, and this is the front of them. The problem is with this, its fucking huge, if someone could like downscale this or make a mini version, with all the basic neccessities without the MB world, (trust me its vast) that could be possible. My other idea is what Minedog did with a map called dm_village, a map from the mod DIPRIP. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=613037740[/url] my mate managed to port it to gmod. and there's the vid of it in DIPRIP [video]https://youtu.be/LztDZDghgBw?t=12s[/video] [B]As again, sorry for this huge bloody post, just wanted to broadcast ideas[/B]

Isle of Man style race on RP_rockford!

Whoopsie Daisy! I'll change it tomorrow. I was supposed to type your.. Hehe [QUOTE=the Defender;50785544]Damnit Phulax it's your not you're.[/QUOTE]

How about industrial vehicle racing? Things like switcher trucks, electric warehouse trucks like the one I built recently, golf carts, etc? Stock, modified, unlimited classes?

Just going to rattle of basic ideas: - Three Wheel cars only - Lawn Mowers only - Tractors only - Golf Carts only

If any of you guys are good at enviroment maping, im working on some prefabs for race track parts. Bends, banks, tunnels all with a low-decent poly count for framerates alike.

fucking SOAPBOX RACING YYEEAAAHHHH [editline]f[/editline] it would even out the playing field too; lower speed + no deviation in power to weight means it's easier to police and more reliant on driver skill. could find or make a downhill map or even go on gm_fork or something

Prop limited racing. You can only use X amount of props to make your car. That would be really challenging.

Seriously though, I feel like a low-prop soapbox race with limited engines would be amazing.

[QUOTE=Redfiend;50789153]I fear that such a thing can only end in airborn disasters.[/QUOTE] just allow fin tool and slap some rudders on it and you're set

What about a race with vanilla tools only? I'm sure there are tons of people who'd like to join the race but aren't as experienced in building as the racers in the last race, such as me.

[QUOTE=Redfiend;50789153]I fear that such a thing can only end in airborn disasters.[/QUOTE] Only if the forcers are misaligned. I think if they're pushing parallel to the ground we won't get too much flingage going on.

[QUOTE=TestECull;50791062]Only if the forcers are misaligned. I think if they're pushing parallel to the ground we won't get too much flingage going on.[/QUOTE] You'd still need a degree of upward force, otherwise the friction with the ground could cause the vehicle to spazz, provided the vehicle ISN'T built well (like any of my vehicles, for example)
