Marty, I have not tried anything but the Regular Oval and an inverted Daytona style, Both were fun, and that's not helping you decide! , But I learned something about track decisions when I built my road course. I first tried to figure out what I did NOT want, lane changers, squeeze area, and so on, That helped me get further along, then added what I did want, i.e., at least one long straight, as equal of lanes as I could get, and easy ,marshaling. Then factored how many people would actually race on it most of the time. I came up with a perfect (for me) road course that is challenging, semi fast with the right cars, and easy to marshal given its size. My point is only that, if you will be the primary person racing on this track, you will learn the tricky parts of the track and it will become easy to navigate without de-slots, but if you will have several folks racing, the action will be much different unless they race your track as much as you. A standard Oval with 3-4 racers at one time, Is a whole lot of fun, without to much downtime picking cars off the floor! Just my opinion of course, and there are no tracks that are NOT fun in one way or another. And I must admit, That I am somewhat of a Disciple of the K.I.S.S Method ,So I have a standard oval.
