hello
You probably know about the elk or moose test which became famous with mercedes a and now again with dacia logan. Id like to try this test IRL, and of course in LFS :)

I searched the internet but i couldnt find anything useful. Id be very happy if anyone can provide me with data on how to build it officially.

At least these lengths are needed, see pic

thanks

Yeah it like this, but the distances here dont look ok... IRL its done with 64 kmh, and its not that easy. I think the "lanes" are too long, and too far apart. And maybe a bit too narrow.

If you believe the guy who posted in that lnk, his layout is exactly the setup of the moose test.

I think, it seems narrower and wider, because you do not see it in the usual TV perspective...
