Make Race Tracks Easy (Blender)

Just going into Blender today to make three various race tracks quick and easy! I'm planning on doing some racing tutorials, decided why not record the way I make the race tracks for you people...

At 11:30, the track twisting can be prevented by going to curve data (the green tab above the materials tab). You should see a Twist Method menu, which has a default value of minimum. Change it to Z Up.

2:18 in my experience using y, x, z to stay in the same plane helps a lot.

a few other things of note, that might help, from someone who's had "so much fun" with random issue while making their own racing games (see my channel for examples).

-the surfaces between the roads in the array (the one's you don't see) make sure you delete those. because unity's collision dection will still see those if speed, or forces, start getting high. this can have the effect of turning your car into an airplane. fun if it's intended, less so if it's not.

-make sure you've done the UV unwrap before you do the array, and especially before you lock it in. because finding out your road texture "looks funny" after that can be a whole headache all it's own. worst case scenario you have to abandon that track because the cost to fix it is too high.

-make a file with several road pieces (guard rails, turn arrows, lane widths, intersections, bridges, ect.) and save from that file. to keep things consistent track to track. intersections can be especially helpful for things like adding or removing chicanes to drastically change the tracks feel, getting the best "bang for one's buck" in environment creation.

How do close the circuit, I try but the pieces are a little bit offset

When I try to load the blender file in the .template file, it doesnt open in blender, could someone help me?

it's driving me crazy how you pronounce Bezier but that aside the video perfectly covered what I needed, many thanks.
