Test Track Naming

I assume most of you have watched Killrob explain the possibility of a test track, as well as showing us a little preview of the layout. I have taken a screenshot of it, and started to (very unofficially) name the corners. Unfortunately, I am having trouble coming up with names for the corners that are not the names of devs/mods. Why don't we all collaborate, and try to (unofficially) name all of the corners. I suppose that you would just suggest a name for each unnamed corner. For example, you would say "I think corner 4 should be called (insert name here)." I will make sure to update the track with the suggested names.

Re: Test Track Naming

The track layout has changed a bit (number of curves and straights is the same though) since the video, making it more varied. We do have a preliminary list of curve an straight names and went for including all the long-standing testers and companies we work with. This is the list!

4: Brian’s Bend
5: Banhammerhead
6: Caswal’s Carousel
7: The Slingshot
8+9: Bavarian Bend
10+11: Killrob Chicane
12: POMMS Sickle
13: Adam’s Apex
14: Cossack Corner
15: Lamb’s Hope

Straight Names Preliminaries
1: Camshaft Road (Start/Finish straight)
2: Trott’s Shot
3: Hexany Rail
4: Taylor Stint
5: Daffy Flyer
6: Sonory Roar
7: Slim Straight
8: Steam Straight
9: Norman’s 100

Re: Test Track Naming

Well, that make my original post pretty useless. At least I got a look at the upcoming track :)

The Cappo Crasher name didn't make it though.

Re: Test Track Naming

I was debating the two with myself, and I think Sickle fits better. Curve 4 was Camshaft's Pickle before, which works better in a pickle sense :P
