Catalogue of composite track elements
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.
Many times, chicanes are used. This is because the chicane acts like it has asphalt all over. It could be imagined like a 2x2 full asphalt tile.
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 the track may make them illegal. Mirroring them may make them more badly rendered.
Sometimes, the whole track isn't shown and finish lines may then have been added solely to clarify the path that's meant to be taken.

Special use of track elements
Features looping through a pipe to save time, taking a corkscrew at a 90° angle, humping over highway tiles or driving on a highway tile with two wheels on the road, inclined, to drive over a bit of water without sinking.
Special trajectories
Features tracks with a dumbbell and figure-8 shape. Crossings with corners and a track that would let you go backwards through the finish line.
