The Beginning - Pebble Beach Circuit
Hi,
Have interacted with a few in the Off Track thread when I said hello.
A quick update on the Pebble Beach Circuit, I've got the base for the start up from the main foundations and now just looking/working on height and trajectory. Then I'll know what I need to buy from Slanman Customs.
The grey painted wood is going to be made into rock-face scenery, maybe a clifftop cafe.
Anyway, thought I would just post an update.
Discussion
Thank you everyone. Obviously, getting the track set up and then working on the scenery is the most pressing part, but I am toying around with ideas for a Series I have in mind, but hopefully I can talk more about that once things move along.
Appreciate the replies.
If we had a shed in our garden like that it would be full of my wife's stuff before I even got something started.our garage is full of stuff already.nowhere in our house is safe to put a permanent/semi anywhere...looking good though,well done.
- Cheers Ralph, I was very lucky that this was in place when we bought it last year and my wife knew I wanted a race cabin. She got an extra room to do her crafts so it was win-win. Re: track, I am currently trawling Spool Heads and Slanman. I've committed to a hosting a 2026 GT Series so I best get cracking really. — GauntletSeries
Hi Again,
A little update on the circuit. At the moment I am using cardboard to layout what I want and have been in contact with Spool Heads, so I know what I am ordering there too. Just a matter of pulling the finances together.
Regarding cars, the garage now has 32 eager to race (I will give the cardboard runs a try just for the hell of it).
Regarding the circuit and the Series I want to host, of course that is pending everything going down but my "Gauntlet Series" is going to go ahead. It will be a mixture of a stand-a-lone Gauntlet Series championship with full racing calendar and championship points and looking at hosting some knock-out events a couple for charity also.
To begin with I will just be using my own cars just to get the series going and off the ground, also gives me more time to interact with more people and build a trust level within the community.
Anyhow, that is the update, we are just at "cardboard" design stage at the moment and when I can I will get some photos up.
As promised earlier (and please forgive the mess at the back of my cabin as I have cardboard, craft stuff and bits n pieces as I work), but thought I would give a little more insight into the size of the track I have space for. Measuring up and doing some tests, it looks like I am good for at least 3 levels of "downhill", 4 at a push but when I did a little test the other night the cars were way slower on the final straight, but working on this.
In contact with Spool Heads and well, we shall see how this gets on. Thought I would share the progress, and the raw photos of messy building/designing/just plain playing-about, which is fun.
The Drop
First Straight into First Corner and then cascade down
The side part which I can either extend the track a little or build a scenery or just have a second short circuit etc, - still in the planning stage.
That is the update here from the U.K. and the Pebble Beach Circuit. Again, thank you so much to everyone for the comments and replies, I know it looks a little messy at the moment but just wanted to share the journey.
makin' progress, looks like a cool clubhouse to build in
