Tracks Plans for Ultimate Racer 3.0

 

 

This track was build as a portable 2 lane track placed on three baseplates of 2,00m X 1,22M. The interesting part of this race track is the barriers which is hand made and fits around the whole track. All of the barriers has advertisments, curbs and grass to make them look like something from a real racetrack. The lightbridge is also interesting as it is made so it can fit on any kind of track, from a two lane track to an 8 lane track.

After using this barrier system the first time I got so satisfied with it that I'we decided to make a corrosponding system for a city track and a winter track. I have just finished a pit section for the system which I think turned out really great.

The Technical Stuff

Track Power:

Each lane has its own powersupply to ensure a steady powerflow to each of the cars. The racesoftware can also control the power to the track through two relays. Using this feature it is possible to stop the race on yellow flag and stopping the power to the individuel tracks on false starts.

 

 

Lap Counting:

The lap counter is made with phototransistors and a lightbridge above them. A lap counter really increase the possibilites with the track. Laptimes, racecontrol and so on.

 

 

The Control Board:

The connection to the computer is made with an Arduino board.

 

 

Starting Lights:

There isn't any starting light modul on the track at the moment but the lightbridge has been prepared for one.
