๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ C4 โ€” Watkins Glen (Short Layout 1960s)

A smooth, flowing classic inspired by the golden age of American racing.
3 rails, crossing lanes, and those signature long straights where everything connects.

Built entirely inside the Speed Rivals editor. ๐ŸŽฅ

๐ŸŽ๏ธ Time to race!

Using the same track we built before, hereโ€™s a quick look at Speed Rivals in action โ€” showing the different camera modes available in the game. ๐ŸŽฅ

From cinematic views to classic top-down angles, each one gives the race a totally different vibe. โšก

๐Ÿ”ง Once the circuit is closed, the fun part begins!

In this video we edit the rails โ€” adding crossings, narrow sections, and curbs to shape the trackโ€™s personality. ๐ŸŽข

Every small tweak changes how races feel on the same layout. โšก

Starting with simple straight and curved pieces, the editor automatically connects everything โ€” ready to test in seconds. โš™๏ธ

๐Ÿš—โœจ Our track editor can already build the most basic layout: the classic C1 oval.

Itโ€™s a simple track, but the perfect way to show the foundation of everything you can create next: curves, elevations, even full loopings ๐Ÿ”„๐Ÿ”ฅ

Hereโ€™s a first look at the prototype UI for building tracks in Speed Rivals! ๐ŸŽ๏ธ

The key feature: rail selector ๐ŸŽš๏ธ

Set the maximum number of rails at the start (this defines the track width).

Once your layout is done, choose how many rails you want

Building tracks in Speed Rivals just got more flexible ๐Ÿšฆ
The rail selector is here: 2, 3 or more lanes, crossings, and wild layouts are now possible.

Would you go for a classic slot track or create the craziest setup you can imagine? ๐ŸŽ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฅ

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Working on the track editor for Speed Rivals!
When a piece can't be placed correctly, it turns red ๐Ÿ”ด โ€” a simple shader that makes errors super clear while building.

Still early, but itโ€™s already saving us tons of debugging time.

Now combined with curves, we can build almost anything โ€” from smooth slopes to ridiculous spirals.
Still ironing out point directions, but this unlocks a whole new layer of madness.

Making a slot racing track editor is funโ€ฆ
Until you let players cross paths.
Then it becomes geometry, topology, snapping logic, and a tiny bit of pain.

Still worth it.

๐ŸŽฅ Testing the auto-closing system for tracks in Speed Rivals.
It finds a path back to the start using lines and curves, avoiding overlaps and keeping it clean.
Still buggy in edge cases, but it works!
