Our Track Builder : Stefan Luteijn

How long have you been building tracks?

I started making simple tracks in 2018 and over the years I have continued to expand them.

 

What got you into drone racing and track building?

I have been involved in model making and designing things since I was little. Drone racing simply gives you a big rush when you fly so fast and low over a track. I love inventing things and with track design you can make the craziest things. Here in the Netherlands we sometimes fly the craziest creations. And I like to come up with crazy things.

 

Where do you get inspiration for your tracks?

I come up with most tracks while I’m building. I never have an idea in advance [of] what I’m going to make. Often it’s just that I start building and the rest follows naturally. I always try to come up with elements that have never been used before. I often come up with the theme I build around on the spot.

 

What are some of your favorite tracks you’ve built and why?

My favorite tracks are the Boner Arena and the Aqua FPV maps. These are both crazy and large creations and are very popular among the pilots. Both maps are full of crazy creations and I love being crazy.

 

Do you have any advice for people who want to build tracks?

Build what you want and be creative, no track is too crazy. Ensure a good flow and alternation between left and right. Don’t make tracks too long and try to create laps of 20 to 25 seconds per lap.
