So many bins, so little lag. This track is just beautiful, and fun to drive. A masterpiece of efficiency, most notable of which is ninety models mapped to only thirteen textures for a total of the maximum 540 models in the track, and all of it without a bit of lag. Buildings, fences, trees, and parked cars are densely strewn along the entire course which spans the terrain, not once, but two times - made possible by means of a crossover weave that stays within bounds of the eight lane limit. It is not just a straight track, it is a mobius strip! The course is a gradual drop in elevation with slopes and small jumps. You then cross the weave, climb a tall hill and do it again. But, no matter how many times you drive through this Winter Wonderland, your attention is always drawn to the models - from huge pillars and bridges (no, they're not ground boxes) to small details like street lamps and mail boxes outside homes. If you can pull yourself away from the road, which is an excellent drive in and of itself, slow down and look around. There has not been an mtm track so utterly populated with scenery objects and yet run so smoothly. Note, however, there's one floater and the road can become cluttered with these same models after a lap or two. There aren't enough superlatives to describe this course and superb layout and give it the justice it deserves. An object lesson in texture making/ model making/ course layout/ model placement. Looks and drives great. Excellent.
