Hey, this page still active? I love making F1 cars in space engineers and want to race!

Had the Idea of faster Built Tracks in SE - feel free to use, expand, improve and tell me your impression and suggestions for more sections. Hope you like it :)

(WIP) You can join our Formula-SE server here! https://discord.gg/ezMXpuE

So this concept looks really cool, and I’ve seen some racers on the workshop and reddit. But does anyone here have a server that could even run these races? Also, clang may not approve of a lot of cars in tight formation using wheels of all things. Assuming this works, I think some space races and combat races could be cool too. I’ve wanted to do mad max style race for a while where there’s a driver and a fighter and you’ve gotta make it to the end. Similar to the Ancient Greek chariot races iirc. I’d love to see this go places and not die like it is lookin like right now!
