RACE TRACK theme and concept!


My race track is located deep within the underbelly of a futuristic metropolis called New Eden. 
The city and its populace live in submission under a higher power known as the LEGNA Corporation. The corporation rules over New Eden with an iron fist, hidden behind a false shroud of "civil harmony". 
At the center of the city stands the LEGNA Tower, a massive skyscraper that overlooks all of New Eden. As this circle progresses outward, the pristine buildings and parks turn to favelas and scrapyards. 
There is no middle class in New Eden. Only the poor, and the Trueborn (extremely wealthy, aristocratic citizens).

Here are some images I found on the web that somewhat describe my theme:




My track is named Circuit 18, and it is one of the many race tracks strewn across the outskirts of the city. Trueborn citizens arrive by the hundreds to place bets on their favorite racers. 

It is a gladiatorial race track riddled with spike traps, flamethrowers, exploding barrels and more!

"Pick your poison..." 

I chose this as my concept statements because the racers will be able to choose from a variety of different routes, all equally dangerous. The race track will also be plagued with a cloud of green fog, not as another obstacle but strictly for aesthetics. The environment will look poisonous!..

Check out the color scheme:

Here you'll see a downward view of my track concept. 


The track will include boosts, jumps, wall rides, barrels, incinerators, spike traps, moving walls, and a draw bridge as the center piece.

Here are the main obstacles and how they will work.

Draw Bridge:


The first racer across activates the bridge. The bridge moves upward, forming a ramp for other racers (possibly allowing for other tracks to be taken)

Spiked Ram:


Driver drives over spiked ram top (embedded in ground). Spiked ram pops up after 1 second. Greatly damages any racer that comes into contact with it. Can be avoided.

Incinerators:


Randomly spews fire in a straight line across the track. Can be avoided. 

My racer grew up in this part of the city and has escaped fate many times...
He's a quick witted cat named, Samedi and he can hustle his way out of any situation. 
He is well known by many of the Trueborn as well as several LEGNA officials through a powerful prostitution ring he developed early in his career. 
Yes, Samedi is a pimp. But let's look past that! he is also an entrepreneur,  a business man, a collector, even a race car driver! But most importantly, he's my hero.

This is an updated concept drawing I did for Samedi. 


I think I'll update him further, maybe give him a little bit more class. 
Get him to match up with his pink Cadillac hearse...
