Modular Race Track Kit - Mobile Optimized

http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/modular-race-track-kit/x/2305754
The Modular Race Track Kit designed by and for game developers. It's designed from the ground up with mobile optimization in mind, so it can be used within mobile phone projects, tablet projects and or PC/Mac. The kit itself is completed, so there is no gamble waiting for it to be delivered at a future date. Backers will get the download link to this project and all bonuses as soon as I receive the email.
Drive around a sample track created with the kit (requires Unity webplayer plugin) :

And a bonus perk with the kit:
All (16) Low Poly Vehicles including (3) LODs for each.
LOD Information
And some samples of the included vehicles. These are all heavily optimized for mobile platforms.

When will your kart game be released
The links in your chain link fence look very large and heavy. Taking a page from the old depth-cueing techniques, you could make the wires appear thinner by reducing their opacity. Most of the images I've seen of fences around race tracks show conventional (2-3") cells. When everything is moving, or from a moderate distance, a simple mostly transparent grey texture might actually look more realistic.
Have you considered adding support for number decals, or at least varying the car colors?
Adding different, seasonal terrain might help as well - e.g. white for winter, bright green for spring, and dirty yellow for fall.

@DWalker - Yeah you might see a bit of tiling if the camera is zoomed out medium to far distances. You don't notice a bit of tiling at ground level driving around. Developers are free to swap in their own textures if they like for any kind of grass, concrete, etc. The fence is intentionally fatter in cell width, I had a more realistic thin fence texture, but the moire patterning on it at distances was horrific. To get the alpha to look decent on mobile devices I had to thicken up the alpha channel and sacrifice a bit of realism for decent visuals. These mobile phones just don't do transparency at distances very well. The car colors can be easily changed in the texture or in Unity. It's a slider adjustment in Unity and in PS it's a simple color picker for the color overlay on the car body. Super easy, no point in creating a bunch of redundant textures.
Kit in action working with the car prefab.
Currently the asset kit contains 155 unique elements. These are a combination of "clean" looking versions and "destroyed" or worn out versions. The textures are in PSD, PNG and TGA formats. They range in size from 128 x 128 pixels to 512 x 512 pixels. The 3d models are FBX file format.
