They are additionally influenced by other, cycling-inherent, forces and effects. The transitions from the straights into the bends need even more attention. In general there are no fixed standards for the length of a track. The track has to be individually designed in order to suit the demands of the respective project. The choice of the track length and it's form will be influenced by the intended use, the category of track desired and economical aspects.
Shorter tracks are spectator-friendly.
The racing is confined to a smaller area with the spectators being closer to the action. This generates a more intimate atmosphere between the racing cyclists and the spectators and produces more attractivity. In addition smaller tracks and velodromes are naturally cheaper and easier to install. If professionally designed, such smaller tracks offer generally the same possibilities for the riders to perform their sport. Although being steeper inclinated, such shorter track will not produce more difficulties or dangers.
