  One more for Initial D fans. Found this one, looks like it is from a fellow Canadian:) Some of you may have seen it around, but here is the link for those who haven’t seen it:

  Questions questions questions… 🙂
  
  1) is the tofu shop at the top of the hill or at the bottom? (I say bottom…?)
  
  2) that would make Akina Lake… at the Top of the hill?
  
  Confused here… as methink
  a) he’s not meant to destroy the tofu… going Up?
  b) and he can go as fast as he likes… downhill?
  c) are lakes often at the top of mountains?

  lol Panda, you have really put some thought into this:) Here is a link I think might help you out for location at least. And yes lakes can be near the top of mountains:shock:. About the tofu? I do know that he has a glass of water that he usually starts and finishes with with the purpose of not spilling any (wish I could drive that smooth;)

  that track would be awesome. too bad i have no time, no money nor patience to build something of that quality.
  
  i wonder why kind of paper he printed the road images on? does paper give bits good grip?

  have you used spray paint before twizm? well if you want paper to last and be grippy for bit racing you can use a spray matt varnish and use it normally and give it a bit of splattering by not pressing the button down all the way.
  
  the only way you can tell what i mean is by using a can of crappy spray Paint and trying different pressures to acheive a slight rough surface…

  that track is amazing, truely inspirational. just wodering, those insulating foam sheets used in the track, where do think i could find them? i was gonna use the normal packaging foam for my track but that stuff looks heaps better to work with.

  Yeah, that makes sense. The lake seems to be a scenic sight where
  they go for dating (eg Tak’s 1st day out with Mogi) so that’s where
  the tourists & restaurants would be too. 😀

  “Swirl the water” haha, yup.
  Guess he tosses it out the window with the tofu at top! 👿

  Just takes practice. Smooth is always good as your tyres will have
  more Stiction than friction… stiction is the grip you have
  when tires aren’t sliding on the surface. Once you get them sliding
  they produce less grip than before – eg its easier to
  continue a powerslide then it is to start it.
  (“Break traction” == overcoming stiction)

  I thought It was a mountain pass, so the shop could be on one side of the mountains, and the lake on the other… Accurate or not its an awsome track!

  third is the last, battle stage is just a movie of all the battles no story just the races. and extra stage is about the two girls, sayuki and mako in the sileighty.
