Chiefy should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Good tips, Tathrim, but using the straight line and arc tools, providing me with a "circuit" shape though it does, does not seem to allow me to offset the complete shape to give me my track. All of the lines and curves are joined by these nodes you referred to, but I cannot offset them all at once (instead the offset tool just offsets the rectangle I originally drew, which you also referred to earlier). Indeed, I cannot offset even straight lines individually (but it does seem to be possible with the curves on their own).

Does this make any sense?

I can offset an individual curve shape, whether part of the overall track design or not.
I cannot offset individual straights that are part of the track.
I cannot offset the completed track.

:-S Confusing stuff.
