Thinking about starting to create my own tracks...

I skimmed through the sticky topic on creating tracks just now, and the guide to creating them.

I've always enjoyed dreaming up my own F1 tracks and I thought that now may be the time to start creating them - I have a week off and nothing to do

I have a few newbie questions...

To get used to the track editor, would it make it a lot easier if I did a 'street' track with barriers right next to the edge of the track and a completetly flat surface?

Usually, how long would it take to create a track? (I'm only doing it for personal use, so I won't do massive amounts of detail like those that put their tracks on here would. I might even do tracks with no scenery at all)

And are there any other tips to make learning and creating easier?

Tracks can be built in anything from an hour to a year - depending how good you want it.
Street circuits aren't necessarily the best as they need more unique scenery, and you'll keep crashing and lose motivation :p
But for a start you don't need to worry about elevations or banks - just set the bank to 6 meters or so and you'll have the same runoff area all round the track.
