Hey,
Thanks for the replies, much better than i hoped, i thought they would be something along the lines of "get lost, pay someone to design something for you" but this is much nicer.
Here are 3 examples of off road kart tracks:

The last track listed above, almost flat ground, dug down to make a flat track is the type of thing we are aiming for. This uses only a dirt surface.
We will be purchasing land that measures about 8 acres for this project, however this must include space for some parking and tiny space for our office, in order to reduce costs we will be using shipping container offices e.g.
http://www.mrbox.co.uk/siteaccommodation.html (should be interesting)
We havent purchased the land yet, however if you would be able to assume 2 different parcels of land rectangular and square this way it should cover most of the places we purchase.
The track should hopefully be no less than 1km (more the better), and 15m wide. We are looking for a challenging track but dont make it hairpin turn after hairpin turn (if possible)
This will be a fun project for us never having done anything like this, we cant be bothered to pay anyone to construct it since its only dirt, so we will be using 1 digger and shovels (its gonna take us ages!).
I really appreciate the help, and if we base our track on any of the designs you guys come up with you will definitely get the credit, and we could probably even offer you free racing around the track and an invitation to the opening (just need to pay for ur accomodation and flights in portugal
)
