Daytona Speedway

Bringing the pandemonium of the biggest race in America and 1 uping the great american race the way only Halo can do! Taking my love for creating racetracks my first map Island Gran Prix provided a unique tour of the island in forge world. This time i wanted to aim for a more realistic race course.

While not a Nascar fan i thought it would be fun taking a warthog a few laps around the track. "But, Scott.. going around circles is boring", I quite agree hence why im not a Nascar fan, but in Halo we dont just create a track to race in circles, we need destruction and pure adrenaline filled racing. Thats why i incorporated landmines on the banked turns, and 6 vehicle man cannons to throw you off..giving a new meaning to "Rubbin' is Racin".

Since having a limited budget i could not half as much as i wanted including stadium seats for the main seating area, sidewalls, and or lights around the track to name a few. I tried to create this track as an exact replica from memory (thanks to Gran Turismo for allowing me to remember the layout) and tried to create a fun experience that everyone can enjoy.

Since this is a fairly standard track i felt mongooses were not adequate due to their low speed and very crappy suspension (feeling every bump). So i decided to include Warthogs due to their larger size, better handling, and faster speed. With most laps taking about 25-35 seconds depending on your maneuvering around the obstacles i made the race 10 laps to make for a decent experience that isnt over too quickly. So be sure to download the gametype to get the best experience out of the map.

Lets look at some screenshots:

Pit Road. Half the players spawn here. To Give a fair advantage so your not stuck at the back of the pack.

Finish Line. Where the other half of the players spawn.

And there off! Wait this isnt nascar whys that landmine there!?!?!

Rubbin and Racin its the name of the game.

Thats gotta hurt..

Those man cannons can really mess up your racing line.

See what i mean..

Watch out for those man cannons, you dont want to be thrown into the stands (The fans are dangerous...)

If only crashes were this spectacular in actual Nascar.

Going for the checkered flag.
