A composite track element can be seen as a track element that is built up out of a combination of different track elements. In order to execute a composite track element, you are not supposed to follow the road. Usually, leaving the road is not beneficial since it would let your car crash, sink or slow down dramatically in the grass. But this isn't always the case.

The chicane is the most important track element to build up composite track elements. The chicane track element acts as if it has an asphalt surface all over. This allows the driver to leave road without slowing down, making it ideal to build up a composite track element by adding other track elements to the chicane(s).

Here we see an example.

If we focus on the upper right section of the track, going through the tunnels, knowing the chicane acts like it has asphalt all over, we can imagine it as such:
 
−

[[image:SimulatedTrackElement.png|frame|center|Light grey tarmac.]]
 
−
 
 
−
This is the track element like it would actually be taken. It can be called a simulated track element. And this track element cannot be made unless we leave the road.
 
−
 
 
−
Notice how these two tunnels could be replaced with anything, for example, a section of a pipe, since both of those tunnels aren't connected to the road at all. This is what could be called an open arrangement.
 
−
 
 
−
There is also a half open arrangement. If we modify the upper right section of the track, we can transform it into a half open arrangement. The path that would be taken is quite the same. But only one of the two tunnels could be replaced with the middle section of a pipe since the second tunnel is connected to the road. However, such a set up might often be simpler and take up less room.

−
 
 
−
Open and half open arrangements can be taken in both directions. Though the simulated track element may feel quite different when taken from the other direction.
 
−
 
 
−
In these examples, all the chicanes are still part of the track. But it is also possible to add a chicane which isn't part of the track at all, with the goal of executing the simulated track element on that chicane. The chicane becomes a part of the shortcut.

−
[[image:2x1CornerShortcut.png|frame|center|As a shortcut]]
 
−
 
 
−
It is a variation of the simple straight shortcut, as shown here. This example uses an [[Illusion_track]] to give a smoother appearance.
 
−
 
 
−

The chicane is not the only option to create a simulated track element. Other track elements such as the crossroad or the split could also be used instead of chicane(s).

When setting up a composite track element, it is important to check whether two chicanes that touch, even when they only touch diagonally, could provide an unintended shortcut.
 
  
 
When executing a composite track element, you may skip up to two track elements without receiving penalty time.

When you see a yellow square in the image, it means there are overlapping track elements at that location. Rotating them or mirroring them may make them illegal or badly rendered.

Introduction

A composite track element can be seen as a track element that is built up out of a combination of different track elements. This article offers lots of possible combinations. Often using the technique of the Illusion_track.

The catalogue

When executing a composite track element, you may skip up to two track elements without receiving penalty time. When you see a yellow square in the image, it means there are overlapping track elements at that location. Rotating them or mirroring them may make them illegal or badly rendered.
