[7.22.2022 UPDATE]
A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the Great Racetrack Challenge. The amount of submissions blew us away and we can’t wait to see you build these designs yourself in Upland one day. Many tracks traversed similar neighborhoods making it challenging to narrow it down to our three favorites to bring into Upland for the community vote. Nevertheless, we have three finalists so read on to see who is moving on!
Start/Finish Line Address: 881 Filbert Street
Description:
Pretend you're Steve McQueen in the 1968 film "Bullitt" and retrace the greatest car chase in cinema history. This track focuses on the Russian Hill part of the car chase and follows the rollercoaster roads in the same direction as Steve McQueen's classic Ford Mustang GT.
Start/Finish Line: 100 Elmwood Way
Description:
Race on this iconic double eclipse track, sure to show off San Francisco. See multiple track locations from the same vantage point as cars speed past you. Designed for the viewer to not miss a thing and for the driver a great challenge.
Start/Finish Line Address: 757 Panorama Drive
Description:
The 'Streets of Midtown Terrace' is nestled in the hills of beautiful San Francisco, Ca. Come Race Day, the quaint community hills of Midtown Terrace are engulfed with the smell of rubber where thousands of race fans throughout the hills and valleys relax and enjoy fearless Road Racing.
Each of these tracks are now in Upland as part of the Racing Alpha. Uplanders who own cars can now race through the streets of San Francisco. If you do not have a car, be sure to check out the videos below from Upland Creators and join the Upland Discord to discuss with other Uplanders.
Once you have picked your favorite, please submit your vote below. The designer of the Community’s favorite track will win a MV Motors Series 4. Keep in mind that to be eligible to vote, you must be Uplander and above. Cast your vote for a chance to win 10k UPX! Voting will close Monday July 25th, at 8:00 AM PT.
