Silicon Valley is a simple but satisfying track I created for a racing league I help run on the Roosterteeth forums. It pays tribute to the classic 'street' style track that can be found, in various guises, in practically every racing game ever made. The layout of the circuit, while perhaps slightly plain compared to many other tracks, flows beautifully, with a good mix of slow and fast corners to keep things interesting. The buildings and other surrounding features bring the track to life and help to enhance the sense of speed which is often missing from loopy-in-the-sky style tracks.

This track does not feature an uncheatable finish line. I do not race with people who cheat and I feel that the use of grav lifts negatively effects racing on pretty much every Halo 3 racing map ever made.

Silicon Valley's racing tends to be a very hectic affair. The map may not be quite the test of skill that my previous map, Mobius City was, but there's enough of a challenge to sort out the fast from the not-quite-so-fast while remaining enjoyable to those just looking to have some fun. In short, I would say, in my opinion at least, that this track is the most enjoyable to race on of all the maps I have made.

Lastly, using Bungie's new render-to-video feature, I was able to capture a short one minute preview video of my newest creation, Silicon Valley.

I hope you all enjoy it.
