FPV race track design, some things come naturally (trees)

I was using Google maps looking at parks in my area, after a grumpy old man "trainer" of 15 year old track and field girls (nothing sus.. he was paranoid about me supposably filming him.. nothing to hide right..), had a pretty aggressive whinge at me one day (for flying 200m away - that's another story, on video..), and I came across Newport Lakes.

Big area, out of the way of kids, but always the risk of dog-walkers of course.

Anyway it turns out there's some pretty awesomely positioned trees, such that making a race track is pretty much done, and it's down to passer-by control and a good spotter.

Google maps view, nothing interesting:


There be mature trees today! (Low res photo from Bebop):

Time for some racing lines (and the red human danger path, where you get common traffic)
