But you don't have to build a B7M!!!!!

No you don't, but you can.

As for the transport sections, you can put them whereever you want, just keep the speed under 15 kph, as mentioned in the rules.

I am just playing along with the silly rules. But supports are fun so far :)

Everywhere where it doesn't break any other rules.

I forgot that the AHG tightens the tops of hills.

Haha that's what happened to me!! I spent 3 days wondering why the friction coefficients weren't matching up properly! It was awful. But, now I'm back on track, and flying through supports. Still haven't decided whether or not I'm going to add some 3ds or not, though...we'll see...

I've got so much speed and not alot of room. Its kinda like hill, turn, hill, turn. I may not have been the best idea to start to high...

Sorry guys but im going to have to drop out already. I really wanted to do this competition as i havent made a track in a while, but realistically i stll have 500 frames of my film to make for uni in the next couple of weeks which is pretty time consuming work, and that definately comes first so im going to have to withdraw.
