What maps should I make? What are important things to consider?
Do you have any images of what you’re currently working on?
Hey,
The easiest way to fix this is to get to know the world of real life racing. One of the most famous racing sports is Formula 1. (F1) I’d suggest watch a few highlight races and you’ll get to know tracks and the idea of racing. Why this? This is because in every race track you need to add special things as curbs. Lines. Run out zones. And barriers so that you can cut corners.
One thing that every race track needs are curbs. Curbs are the (mostly) red and white lines that mark the entry and exit of a corner and especially the APEX. Check how these look on google images. If you have problems making these then you should download that connection plug in and just place red and white squares next to the corners and then you use the plugin to connect the spaces on between.
I’ve built a few race tracks on roblox already so I kinda already know the whole process.
I hope this helped you. If you have further questions I’m here.
Some important things you should consider is that the maps have a specific theme, also if you are making your map detailed don’t make it too detailed or the player might lag.
cartoony or realistic?
take inspiration from mario kart maybe?
Do what i did. Blindly draw lines for, about 1sec, open your eyes, connect the two ends.
Put in hazzards, cut-offs, bank the turns, different terrain, jumps.
Generate (or create) terrain, and only then add roads.

(still works)
You can make any type of map that fits the style and theme of your game, from my knowledge if you’re wanting a more detailed put together map use reference images so you could fit different objects that are placed around sorting racing game areas. It’s good to take different ideas along your way and implement them in the actual game.
There isn’t a wrong way to make a map detailed if you have a layout of the map place little objects here and there if areas or missing details fill in those corners and empty spots. You’ll see where your buildings will take place at what type of track your making; It could be small with different curves, start line, turns and more.
Start simple and small place objects in their proper places, then start by adding your buildings put all important things on your map or whatever layout comes to your mind. If you plan on expanding it or wanting to keep it small put things like (buildings, small structure arv,).
Do you mind attaching images so we could get a general look at what you got started? The thread lacks proper information.
Take inspiration from Mario Kart games, there’s a racetrack in space where your driving on a rainbow, all of that could make your game fun, there’s also a track all about music.
