I know this is an unusual thing to do, but this thread is for four different maps because they're all different versions of the same basic map, so separate threads would just be spam. If you're wondering about the name, it's because I couldn't think of a good name, and then I realized that I had put decorative forklifts everywhere, so I just stuck with that theme.

All four circuits have the same basic elements in common even though the actual tracks are very different. In each one, most of the outside ring is left intact for fast racing, with a detour on the back straight into the hallways and across the center bridge above the starting area. They are also all designed to prevent cheating, with no need for honor rules to keep people from taking shortcuts. Finally, there are no gimmicks like bouncing soccer balls or falling fusion cores (cool as they are), because I wanted these tracks to be more like actual racetracks rather than obstacle courses. My favorite racing map is definitely Glimflicker's Bungie 500, and these tracks are similarly designed with teleporters inside a scoring zone that you can only drive through once per lap If you leave your Mongoose and try to jump through the zone on foot, you'll either be sent to a fusion core death box similar to the one in Bungie 500, or to a floating crate outside the level where your only option is to mancannon yourself through the kill barrier and watch your body fly off into oblivion (or land on the Pelican platform).

The VIP gametype that goes with Bungie 500 works fine with these tracks as well, or if you want you can grab the variant I've been using from my file share, which I think is basically the same thing but with a shorter suicide penalty (but still a lap penalty). Edit: No more room in my file share, so just use the Bungie 500 gametype or make your own.

So here are the tracks:

Forklift 400
Whoever the previous inhabitants of this facility were, they loved their forklifts.

This is the first track that I made, and it's by far the simplest. The track ducks into the hallway on the back straight and goes across the center bridge, then pops back out on the outer ring and continues around to the finish. The challenge is low, but the open nature of this track makes for fast and entertaining races.

Most of the screenshots here also apply for the other tracks. (Higher-res images here):

I mean, why did they need so many forklifts anyway?

The first half of this track is just like Forklift 400, but after the bridge it turns to the left instead of the right and heads to the upper level of the blue base. Inside the base, it spirals down (1 1/2 revolutions) and out the bottom door, then continues on normally to the finish.

Spiral inside the blue base. The teleporter sends you back to the beginning and is there in case you and your Mongoose fall off the upper level into the middle.

Okay seriously, what's up with all the forklifts?

This is the granddaddy of the Forklift circuits, and it uses virtually the entire level. At the back hallway entrance, the track does a U-turn and heads to the back upper entrance of the red base, doubles back on itself inside the base before heading for the bridge in the center of the level, and then does the same thing in reverse on the other side. A good lap takes about 1:15. Maybe the pictures will make it easier to understand, but probably not, so why not go download it?

Enough with the forklift theme already!

Okay, so I thought I was going to stop with the third one, but then I was playing around in Forge and had some new ideas which eventually became this circuit. It's even more elaborate than 500, but still unbreakable, and still easy to figure out. At about a minute and a half per lap, this may be the longest circuit out there that doesn't require honor rules. The layout is way too complicated to describe, and this thread already has too many pictures, so I'll just let you download it if you want to see what it's like. I think it's a lot cooler and more interesting than Forklift 500, so if you like that one you should like this too.

Hope you enjoy these, and please leave feedback.
