A track does not only consist of its roads. Take a look at the original tracks: they wouldn't be impressive at all without the stunning graphics beside the track. I once read a review where the author mentioned that it's almost impossible to win a race because every here and there you have to stop by and look at the amazing graphics :)

One major complaint about the track editor was, that it provided no possibility to put up some environment. I do agree, but it's up to your fantasy to push the editor to another limit! You can take almost every module, place it beside the main road and enhance the feeling of driving when you pass it at 40 mph.

At the release date of this tutorial, Gibbler is actually working on a tutorial of how to implement 'real' objects into your custom tracks: beach balls, lanterns, ramps, cones and all kinda stuff from the original tracks. How astonishing! However, he ain't ready by now so I included all the basic deco stuff I'm still damned to work with :) As soon as I know more, you'll find it here...
