I was playing with this shape which might be about 50 feet deep and maybe 120-140 wide. It looks better when I draw it freehand than on the computer. It is kind of my old layout stretched out and rounded off. By keeping it not too deep (~50'), I get a good balance of track and farmland, so the farm tractor has fewer odd corners to plant around.
One pet peave of mine is when you have a rectangular track and the drivers' stand is right up on the track and you have to lean a bit trying to look past the other drivers radios or bodies when you are off on the far sides of the track.
This would be mostly and undulating track (subtle rises, slight off-cambers & banks, some rough) more than a good elevation-changing track. The back straight is slightly reflexed on purpose. If I had equipment (shovel:eek
to make jumps, there might be a nice double right in front of the drivers' stand (where stand = the ground), but with it being flat-ish, I can more easily get the tractor-tiller out to freshen it up.
