Abstract
Disclosed is a race car track for allowing non-powered driving by using gravity, the track comprising: a first lane including a first curved track; and a second lane including a second curved track located adjacently to the first curved track, wherein the first curved track has a first super elevation such that the first lane has a predetermined first difficulty level, and the second curved track has a second super elevation such that the second lane has a predetermined second difficulty level.
Claims10
A customized track that is programmed while reflecting characteristics of a specified race car for allowing non-powered driving using gravity, wherein
- a starting point of the track is located at a site that is higher than an ending point of the track,
- wherein the specified race car comprises a preset weight, a height of the center of weight, distribution of the weight to the front, rear, left, and right sides, a wheel alignment, and a caster,
- wherein the specified race car further comprises wheels having a preset rolling resistance with a road surface of the track, and
- wherein the length, the slope, the radius of rotation, and the super elevation of the track are designed such that the specified race car has at least one of a predetermined longitudinal acceleration and a predetermined transverse acceleration so that a programmed difficulty level may be felt while a driver drives the specified car on the track.
