Been a while since I made Ouarzazate. I even kinda forgot how fun it was to build a track lol. I even decided to stop making tracks. With 2 kids I just do not seem to have the time.

Then, how did I get to make this one ?

Well... I was talking with shadowprincess. I've got to know her pretty well. She is one of my best friends I have on the net. Always there if I need someone to talk to. Always in for a laugh. One day I told her I was bored and she just said: "well, make me a track, noone ever has done that". I just laughed and said nothing. But, without her knowing about it I started.

A few weeks later I had a first beta ready. She was just amazed by it. So I decided to keep on working on it. Actually we worked together on it. She had several requests and I tried to make them as good as I could. I had big fun testing all those things out together with her lol. Maybe I should have practiced a little harder on those GB tracks she was running in tourney's, but hey.. this was more fun lol.

There are a few flaws in this track. The grass textures are not as beautifully blended as I would like them to be.. but I gave it my very best shot. Not my fault some people make those very difficult textures lol. Also the track may be laggy in some places. Probably because in some areas to many objects are placed and then there are to many vertices.

Well.. I talked about this problem with sp and we both decided to leave it as it is. The track looks great (in our opinion) so I will not be changing it.

Well.. those few weeks turned into a few months lol. But i'm glad it's finally finished. I again learned a lot building this one but as usual I get too caught up in it. I eat, drink and sleep traxx. So it will probably be a few months before I start on a next one.

But before that I have to thank a few people.

Rocketacles for his textures used in Lapawop. I used some of them :-).

I also used textures from the racine outback, because sp likes them. I don't know if Spreker made them, but if so thnx :-).

I got a few models out of Rhuharb by Winterkill. He made some great houses and a sign I could use :-).

Alpine_GZ for his princess Niamh truck and the shadowprincess lady graphic.

IAM_Clawfford and Rep Fan for the angel of retribution truck

Again Rep fan and Drive2Survive for helping me out with track props

Malibu350 for his scrap yard. I could not make a single track without that lol :-)

Guitar Bill for traxx ofcourse

Phineus for all the work he does on MTMG

SLO_Scrooch for beta testing and helping me out with ai trucks behaviour

OLD_lol_Evil for taking a look at the track and saying his opinion about it

Helen Reddy for the background music, I know this is one of the songs SP loves.

And finally Shadowprincess.. For the trny's she hosts, for doing all that work as a + member for mtm community, for making the track together with me and for being just who she is.. that wonderful person that lives on the other side of the world from me...

Thanx everybody...

Hope you guys like racing it...
