Have you ever wanted a pit lane on your track that is compact enough to fit on a floating platform? How about one that is as simple as driving straight through? What about one that cuts a significant portion of time off of a lap when used? Normally you'd be able to do two of those options at best. But thanks to DrKloden 's all-new, ultra advanced, special edition Speed Control Technology, all three of those options will become the base line for every pitlane you create! Order now on DrKloden.com for 13 payments of only $22 each and this can be a reality for you! Wait.. you mean you don't want to buy anything? Fine, just keep reading then.
Step One - Find a small to medium semi-flat area you want to build a pit. Ideally, the location will be mid-way on a medium to long straight, opposite of the racing line headed into the next corner (eg, if the next turn is a left, then you want the pit on the left side of the straight). This provides maximum safety in both entering and exiting the pit. For this example, I'll be putting a pitlane in the small parking lot of the Sandy Shores Hospital.
Step Two - Build a wall of some kind to define how long the pitlane will be. Thanks to the Speed Control Technology being used, it can be rather compact. In this example, I'm making it the length of three large tire walls.
Step Three - Get the Plant Group prop in the Rocks and Trees category. This is the secret to making a small, compact pitlane. Rotate it so it's upside down (a good way to know it's over enough is so that only a tiny bit is poking up out of the ground like in the picture below).
Step Four - Lift the prop up into the air a little bit, and then place a few along the length of your pitlane, evenly spaced out with enough room between them to fit a couple wrench pickups. Drop a couple extra at the entrance to act as a braking area and to help keep the pit speed constantly low. I added a pair of tire stacks at the entrance to help with visibility issues for where the walls are, you may or may not need these.
And finally, an overhead view of the finished pitlane next to a floating platform prop to show just how compact they can be made to be.
EDIT - I should mention that some higher powered cars tend to just barrel through the bushes and have a reduced effect, to counter act this on tracks that are meant for supers or sports, additional bushes at the entrance will drop the speed more drastically and ensure that every car through the pit will have the same speed. If you find speed issues farther down, double place a bush every other "section" and it will keep everyone on pace through it.
