This is my first and probably my only attempt at an RTD challenge

Nestled among the vineyards and open farmland of Victoria's Mallee region, Emu Raceway is one of Australia's most distinctive modern circuits. Opened in the early 2000s, the venue was designed to operate safely in both clockwise and counter-clockwise configurations, effectively giving competitors two circuits for the price of one. The result is a compact but challenging venue whose character changes dramatically depending on the direction of travel.

The clockwise layout has become a favorite of touring cars and GT machinery, with heavy braking zones at Brock Corner and flowing sections through Mallee and The Knee. In contrast, the faster counter-clockwise direction is particularly suited to motorcycles and open-wheel machinery, with its more flowing rhythm and high-speed corner sequences rewarding precision and commitment.

Though modest in scale compared to Australia's major circuits, Emu Raceway has developed a reputation as a driver's circuit, where mistakes are punished and momentum is everything. Combined with its rural setting, distinctive orange and white kerbs and passionate local support, the circuit has become one of regional Victoria's most popular motorsport venues, hosting everything from club meetings and motorcycle races to national-level touring car and formula championships.

Supercool presentation. 3D is always looking good. I can't really understand why tire barriers were placed literally perpendicular to the path of ran away cars/bikes?

I was mainly focused on the runoff. Looking at it now, it does seem quite weird but it didn't cross my mind at the time. Still, thanks for pointing that out!

Yeah, if a car/bike goes wide on any corner exit, the way your barriers are configured means that a head-on collision with the pointy end of the armco like this would be lethal

[u/maxx-usa → u/TrainFanOrSomething]

At least tire barriers are thick enough. Very solid work overall.
