  No problem with the geekieness!

  if i wanted to create a Mobius strip, i'd run a straight line round a circle and rotate it by pi in one revolution. the start and end would match up.

  Yep, not so sure I would like to ride that track though :-)

  You are basically describing how OpenVelodrome works, with the swept line along a curvature. Did you find the Getting started link in the left menu? Right now the curve is mirrored and then mirrored again, I.E. no way to have different transitions for the entry/exit. It's a simple feature to add though, and i'll be sure to add it in the upcoming version. It just takes another set of transition parameters (d1,d2,d3,d4).

  This is really valuable information for me. The way the geometry is calculated is based on theoretical physics and should be seen as a starting point for geeky discussions. What matters is how the finished track rides, not if it's theoretically correct.

  Hello! I run a project called OpenVelodrome. It's an online parametric velodrome design.
  The current deals with the basic track geometry only. In the future this will be a complete velodrome design with downloadable CNC router files and build plans. Totally free and open source.
