The Mines is an encolsed racetrack forged in the skybubble on Sandbox. It has a basic figure of 8 shape to it and a lap time of around 25 seconds. It can support basic racing variants as well as battle tracks variants. Due to the small size of the track it can support a maximum of 8 players (4 drivers and 4 passengers). The majority of the track is completely enclosed, bar the long straight towards the end of the track. Here come the pics:

Starting Point

End point above Starting area. VIP destination near end point (not pictured)

Straight before first bend

Same as above, but with blue light on

After bend

Grav lift assisted turn

Exit of mines to long straight "outside"

End of long straight

Note right entrance is blocked

Jump (Blame the item limit for the Kill Ball, it was originally going to be an endless chasm with the death barrier doing its thing, but the budget limit has foiled me again)

Final Bend

Home stretch

I also threw together a Close Quarters Combat Battle Track game variant to be tried out on this map. I haven't had much of a chance to test it due to exams, etc. so if some of you could try it and give me feedback on how to improve it that'd help loads :)

For those of you who like your long double wide racetracks, please read this:

Having driven round it several times, I'd like to tell anyone who likes racing that this is not an easy ride. I realise this may put some of you off, but you might as well know. The track is not entirely double wide (there are two single wide parts of the map); and has several "bumps" (not bumps as in bumps between poorly merged objects, but larger mound-like bumps in the actual flooring) so for those who like awesome huge double wide maps with great smooth turns and long fields of vision, this map is not for you. This track is a more rugged, tight corners, small spaces, concentrate or you will spin out type map. It involves frequent changing of speed to be executed properly and braking so that you don't crash into the walls, but with a bit of practice you should become fairly quick at getting round it.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy The Mines, I've taken far too long making it and am quite glad to be able to release it at last :D Thanks in advance for downloading!
