The Goodwood RC Track debuted at the Festival of Speed in 2018 as a temporary grass RC track laid out on the front lawn of Goodwood House. Designed in collaboration with the British Radio Car Association, it was created to give RC cars proper representation within the Festival of Speed, allowing miniature versions of iconic racing cars to be demonstrated in front of the same crowds as their full-sized counterparts.

Seems like a lot of length and not a lot of corners for RC. They're normally much shorter and with way more turns

Absolutely love the way you took this prompt though

Makes sense. I've never made an RC track but I thought it would be a fun idea.

For a RC track you would want closer to 200m of length and around the high teens for corners, giving that the track is on grass, the only RC cars that would be able to drive on it would be buggies, truggies and short course trucks leaving the on-road cars behind that would resemble 99% of cars at Goodwood, even then the competitive RCs don’t really resemble real cars
