Making a Circuit race.

The stage editor is a very difficult tool to use if you are new and it may take a lot of time to get used to. You need to open it up the same way you'd open pcm, then click file new.
Enter a name, where your region is from and the terrain.
There are several options of how to make it using DEM. I don't know how height map works, nothing just gives you a pan flat map and elevation data is most interesting. You can either enter the coordinates of where you want yourself, some websites tell you... Or you can use a fox file which is made in programs like bike route toaster. This has the added advantage of giving you a route to follow in top view.
In top view click on the paintbrush then load Gpx file. The map will be liter and your route traced in black. Scroll with the mouse to zoom and use shift+arrow keys to move. Click on the road tool on the left and start right clicking to build your road, for a circuit you will have to join two pieces of road to make your route. Now because the editor is a bit temperamental, this always creates problems, specifically, an intersection with only two ways problem. What you must do is right click on your road point you joined at and build another road out. If your circuit is actually at the end of another road anyway, like the Champs Élysées, don't worry, this probably won't happen to you. Before adding the route click tools, check stage, this displays all your problems ATM. Road overlap is solved by making the corner less tight. Intersection..... Like we just said. Once these are solved, add a route, carefully clicking on the white circles so your riders know which way to go, you can skip parts, as long as there are no difficult things like a crossroad.
When you join it up it will say you have completed a circuit of ...km at which you say how many laps you want. Then go route sprint where you can add things like the depart point, finish line, KOM sprint, inter sprint, etc. place the podium and the raw mechanics of it are done. If you want you can add decoration like fields, cities, forests, water etc, but I'd recommend doing this before as they get a bit buggy when placed on top of roads, export it with a correct name I the right place, build it in Lachi's using Luigis guide and ur done.
The practical tips and actionable advice you have shared are invaluable, as they have empowered me to infinite craft make positive changes and enhance various aspects of my life.
