Race #1

The debut race for FACTCILITY is up on YouTube! 

Team Junkids (Buick Grand National) vs Rockatz (Ford GT Mustang).

3 Stages in a race. Teams earn 1 point by overtaking rival car before the finish line. Inspired by Need For Speed: Most Wanted, the 3rd stage is a gamble - get overtaken by Police and 1 point will be deducted. Who will win? Check out the video to find out!

FACTCILITY


After the success of Track 4.1, I scoured the web for ideas to build a bigger track design. The following factors were considered for the design:
  1. Easy assembly
  2. Costs/ Supply of materials 
  3. Space saving
  4. Fun Factor

Inspirations came from DCRAction, Hot Wheels tracks, Hollywood flicks, YouTubers' videos and DIY Slot-Car Enthusiasts' tracks. The track took about a month to complete after the initial sketches. Check out the photos below for a closer look.
