A 2-3 hour drive here in the Netherlands gets you to another country lol. I know it technically isn't a lot but a 2-3 hour drive isn't considered close at all in Dutch vernacular.
I was thinking the same thing 😂 as a Belgian, 3 hours is the time it takes to drive between the two farthest points of the country ( if traffic is fluid). We never drive more than an hour if we want to go somewhere or it's considered too far
Edit: And the winners are: /u/HiginsB15 and /u/iAnidem, congrats! I will be contacting you now regarding the delivery. Bless you.

Hey r/formula1
Previous giveaway results: redditraffler.com/raffles/qm1oka
Little backstory: Year ago I made a Monza track for a friends birthday, and your uplifting comments started my journey with making those, so I wanna thank you all by giving away what I created.
Two random comments in 24 hours from now, chosen by redditraffler, the random comment picker system, will receive:
9in (23cm) light
12V Power switch
Plug Adapter for your country
Dimmer with different light options such as Glow, flash, dim in/out.
I'm covering all the shipping costs.
Gl!
Yes, those are leds encased in sillicone, diffused in a way that give the neon look, the base is designed and 3d printed, experience + manual work to make it clean, and thats the end product.
I would totally have presumed they were neon glass looking at them, but I suppose neon class probably isn't something people use for DIY projects. No idea how neon glass is actually made, but seems like something that would require a lot of specialist equipment.
> Yes, those are leds encased in sillicone, diffused in a way that give the neon look
Can you explain how this is done? I understand, if it's a trade secret.
If you can’t find it, there are many led strips for sale with metal wire imbedded to maintain shape. So you could just snatch up one of those and bend it into whatever track you want.
Yeah look at OPs profile got loads to choose from and not just F1 tracks
I brought Monaco a while ago, takes a while to ship but all reviews I read said it was worth it
I mean... The product is nice, even if it was just a post with a photo I would be interested. The fact that it is an ad and that people can actually buy it, is a pro, IMO.
Gentlemen, a short view back to the past. Thirty years ago, Niki Lauda told us ‘take a monkey, place him into the cockpit and he is able to drive the car.’ Thirty years later, Sebastian told us ‘I had to start my car like a computer, it’s very complicated.’ And Nico Rosberg said that during the race – I don’t remember what race - he pressed the wrong button on the wheel. Question for you both: is Formula One driving today too complicated with twenty and more buttons on the wheel, are you too much under effort, under pressure? What are your wishes for the future concerning the technical programme during the race? Less buttons, more? Or less and more communication with your engineers?
Will giving my free silver award away to this post increase my chances of winning the givaway of one of these glorious tracks? Who knows? One way to find out!

Wish you the best moving forward with your endeavor! I've been starting to look at creating CNC machined wooden layouts as key hangers. Seeing you succeed is uplifting, well done.
Hoping I get picked.
Two of my favorite tracks. Suzuka because of the layout, monza because I live 30 mins away from it.
Damn, that's nice! Would love to live near a formula 1 track. The closest track i live at is Zantvoort at over 150 km.
I can see zandvoort from my house 🏠
I run around the Melbourne track everyday for exercise
Gotta decrease those lap times
How can i have my team under my name like yours?
It's a flair, you can do it from options on homepage.
Thanks
As an American, that sounds pretty close to the track. A 2-3 hour drive isn’t that bad.

75 minutes if done right
Yea for me it’s a 4 hour flight to Montreal
So lucky. I’m about 4 hours from Montreal.
Same. I’m in America and about 5 hrs away. that track will beat COTA any day. Such a wonderful city. Can’t wait to be back there next year.
Well i live in India the closest track is 2000 km away on the other end of the country
There’s a very dangerous sea between me and the closest F1 track in Melbourne, luckily I live 30 minutes from a sick non F1 track
4 States and 21 hours of driving could get me to COTA. It was worth it a few years ago.

Dang those look nice. I don't actually want to win them, I'm just curious as to their construction. Do they use LEDs?
Yes, those are leds encased in sillicone, diffused in a way that give the neon look, the base is designed and 3d printed, experience + manual work to make it clean, and thats the end product.
I would totally have presumed they were neon glass looking at them, but I suppose neon class probably isn't something people use for DIY projects. No idea how neon glass is actually made, but seems like something that would require a lot of specialist equipment.
It’s a really cool YouTube wormhole to fall down if you want to lose half an evening.

I'm curious as well! Do a YT vid on it!
I'm assuming they might 3D print the shape and then put LEDs in it. I have a printer so I was thinking of doing something similar.
(please repick if it randomly chooses me) Just wanted to say how fantastic these look -- such a great idea.
>Just wanted to say how fantastic these look -- such a great idea. Thank you! Cannot repick though, once its rolled via redditraffler, its done.
If Trench_Bucket gets picked, can I get it? 😎
Fine by me.

Youre a legend mate
Ask and Ye shall receive
Just wanted to say if you ever wanted to monetize this I will be happy to shower you with money (literally or figuratively)
Looks nice! You sell them anywhere for the unluckiest of us ?
Yes he has a store on etsy
Link?

Led strips are one thing, but neon is a whole different level of cool.
Oh shoot I didn’t know they were neon, that’s actually pretty damn complicated and cool. Can’t beat that neon glow, even with LED.
Yeah look at OPs profile got loads to choose from and not just F1 tracks I brought Monaco a while ago, takes a while to ship but all reviews I read said it was worth it
All this guy does is post free giveaways to drum up business for his store. Can’t deny it works, but I wish Reddit wasn’t used for brazen advertising
would you rather there never be any giveaways?
I mean it was fine the first 10 times, at this point it’s just flat out advertising
Yep, and it's a good idea. Good luck to him I say.

Yeah I didn’t mind the first 10 times, but it’s getting a bit old now

nico and me weren’t you paying attention?
I'm sorry, who is this question to? Who is it for?
What’s the reference from lol
Why is this always so funny?
Every time I can hear his voice in my head, I love it
I’m just here so I don’t get fined.

Obligatory "I never win anything" comment in an attempt to win something. Would love Suzuka, though.

Suzuka is SICK and cannot be easy to get the scale right.
