Archaic is my newest Forge creation taking place in the Skybubble of Sandbox.
It is a long racetrack that features banked turns and very fast racing.
One of the turns is exactly 45º and there are two large hills.

Hey thanks for the invite yesterday! Its a great, smoooth, and well-laid out map! The steep turn just after the start is my favorite part of the map. Its fun to try and powerslide there. I also think its cool that one of the turns drives under that bank of short wedges. My only complaint is the last turn, made out of wooden bridges. Maybe thats the "45 degree turn" you mentioned. It seems a little abrupt, and choppy. I tried using the shield doors to make the turn work, but I kept flipping over. Everything else is great though. Its a good track to play battletracks on. Well done Ace!

It looks OK, a bit short, a bit sloppy and not very original. The third turn looks extremely sloppy and the wooden bridge part looks very rough and sloppy as well. From the looks, it seemed that you rushed the map a bit but the first and second turn look quite impressive. I'm worried that the second turn will be too steep, and another thing, why did you use those object for the hill? It makes it alot more bumpy and just looks kinda bad. Overall, I honestly think Afterlife surpassed this, and by the looks I think it deserves a 3/5 rating, keep practising!

This is quite the spam, little newbie. C'mon already, this doesn't help him!

Now the map. I have to say, nice map Ace! This looks like an awesome racetrack. congrats. Looks solid and very fun. You were always a pro at race maps! This looks very professional, and i like that you set up battletracks 4 the rest of us. The interlocking loosk crisp and smooth. The only things I dont like is the third turn and the wodden turn, probably drivable, but look bumpy and rushed no offense. Im not mocking you if i tried to make a racetrack mine would be a steaming pile of shit! Everything else looks nice and smooth just those turns im worried about. I'll test this out with some buddies later 2day or 2moro. Nice job. 4.9/5 I'll see how those turns are and re-rate accordingly. Keep forgin! (Even though your a ranger with like 1000 posts)

Wow way to spam. This map is actually pretty sweet. The turns mentioned above that SEEMED pretty steep are actually ok. i just played it and it was pretty fun. Considering this is his first race track (i believe) i give it a 4/5. My only problem was the length. Was a little short but otherwise i loved it. Ace you hit the mark everytime. Can't wait to see/test other maps. (especially that cool sounding one that starts with a T) lol.

Well after just running a few laps I gotta say your track was better than I had thought. The wooden section was better than I expected but still very bumpy. I am also confused as to why you used ramps and not large columns to get a shiney gold effect since the ramps have a natural bump in them already. Your track is short but it played great on batle snipes lots of incredible shots were maid including a double headshot unfortunately I was on the wrong end of that one. Overall good for battle track not great as a track on it's own though. I don't really rate tracks so I'll say only download if you play batle tracks or batle snipes often.

Giant banked turns ftw. There have been so many of these maps posted lately, they're very popular. It's not too challenging, which makes it do-able for a race. I actually really like it, it's very clean. Haven't downloaded ANY sandbox race maps yet, but this will be my first. Good job.

This looks like a wicked race map. The turns and banks all look very smooth, with only the smallest imperfections, that would be completely unnoticeable while racing anyways. It looks similar to some other race maps in the sky bubble, but I would imagine that it would be near impossible to create a good race map on sandbox that doesn't look like thirty million other ones. Overall, sweet map.
