Those are very well done!
A canvas perhaps?
According to Instagram this facility is for sale and has been for a while. I see kart track. One could also send drag racing cars at high speed into a long radius turn, should one so desire, which is vaguely an artistic spin on things.

Famous for hosting CAN-AM and Formula Atlantic, this track was a special one for it’s layout and events. It sadly closed down in 1982 due to I believe being in a hot spot for real estate development. Nothing is left of the track, only a school and a bunch of copy and paste houses.
I may be a weirdo but these could be framed and in the sim room along with my (not) thousands of trophies and racing posters.
Well, there’s a Discord server full of those if you want to steal a bunch of them (I’m pretty sure they’re public domain.) and perhaps contribute if you wanted. RTD Track Database
They are all 4K images so it shouldn’t be blurry.
This is not my art, this is Bryce Stevens’, but I won a giveaway and he made me a Kart Racing Pro helmet for free. He decided on the design aspect and I choose the colours. It was put on the SKM’s Stilo ST5.
First league race i’ll be running it in is the KartVirtual UK O Plate @ Three Sisters (Club Circuit)
That’s is very very nice. That’s a great prize win!
Update:
I did pretty good for my first time back in ~9 months
Heat 1: Started last (p17 even though i qualified p15), nearly got a pushback from a wreck i tried to avoid after turn 1, but brought it home to p8.
Heat 2: Don’t remember exactly, as it wasnt broadcasted. I started mid field, but ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time and got wrecked. Brought it home in p9 or 10.
Final (we didn’t have time for pre-final): I didn’t need to do the knock out race luckily, starting p16. A lot of people wrecked out in the beginning so i was up to p7. Unfortunately ended up in the wrong spot at the wrong time twice. I got shoved off early by someone behind me in the last sector the next lap, trying to recover I made it up to p13. But I tried getting involved the battle in front of me, and ended up getting wrecked again at turn 1 (i think netcode kicked in we were that bunched up). I finished P9.
Consensus: To be fair, it was my first league race in ~9 months, and there was some Karting Champs and Formula 4 drivers on the grid, but for my first try at it again I did quite good. Especially for a privateer. Someones offering me a drive with them but i’m just making sure its not one of those teams that only last like one race and its actually established.
For a second there I was like, holy heck this is gonna be an expensive weekend. What are they feeding them over there? Then I realized after the 7 guys ahead all crashed that it was sim. That or Euro pro tour karting.
Speaking of racing…. No track? No problem
Gopro did a software thing
It would appear that they have finally updated some software! This suggests to me that their new 360 cam is imminent.
This adds quite a bit of functionality… tracking, effects, web-editing via cloud…
They want $30 Million, I would bet it needs $10 Million work, if someone can net $4 plus million a year, maybe someone can save it.
K1 Circuit again, maybe?
On my way back out to California… I am hopeful Nick and I can get in a more serious session at K1 Winchester. I’d like to try to push a bit and lap with intention. Maybe we can go at open and do 5 sessions or so.
League started back up with new faces in quali. A bit of a shitshow but good fun.
