Isn't there someone who knows atleast something about how to design these types of racecar-games.

Any sort of Help is wanted! Thanx!

What I did was create a cross-section of the track and extrude it along a spline. Pretty easy to work with, and quite flexible.
Thanks man! Sounds interesting, but I'm not sure I understand exact what you mean by

A cross-section in my case looked like a 'u' (two sides and the bottom). A spline is just some sort of curved line through space. If you make sure the line ends where it starts you get a close line. Extrude the 'u' along that line to create the track.
That cleared some things up! I will try to do something like that.

Thanks again and for the fast reply!
