Somehow the "roundy round" thing is not very appealing as it lacks the third dimension found in CL flying: impacting the GROUND.

But, if you enjoy ice-tethering, by all means do it!

i get both points,
i dont really like the Ice tether car racing.

a special thing about tether cars is that they are THE fastest model cars around. only with them can you reach speeds in excess of 180 mph.
