I was commenting entirely on the fan-fiction lap video. The elevation change and track layout have been known for a few weeks now. (Go back a page and you can check out the PDFs with the 2D and 3D renderings.) I was commenting that the video doesn't show any elevation change, nor does it in any way model how a vehicle would go around it. "Umm, no" was a shorthand version of saying "I don't like that video." I wasn't trying to contradict the statement of elevation change.

Thanks for providing clarity. I cant see videos at work, I can copy links however. I shared it with the intent that some of you get to see it and possibly enjoy it.

Thanks for asking me to look back a few pages, but all of that has been read & digested.

That compares to a sample lap like a kindergarten crayon scribble compares to the Mona Lisa.
That line BTW, is sig worthy

Saw that sample video on autoblog. Worst computer generated demonstration I've seen sine the early 90s.
