Is it required to finish the map by going to the finish opposite direction than start?

Yes... Imagine a LOLLIPOP as a model of your track - the stick is the start/finish, the edge of the lollipop is the "circuit" where people drive in either direction, and then return to start/finish.

that's gonna be hard...

Didnt seem so hard last time

maybe, but canyon is (imho) a lot harder to build flowy tracks in => verrry hard with all those extra difficulties For me, that is. I really hope I can work something out, but it's really hard to e.g. find places for checkpoints that fit both routes.

RULES says:

Ideally, the racer should return to the split point after "going around the track" in either direction, and turn towards the finish, but this is not enforced, because it might cause unnecessary trouble due to speed etc.

But don't forget the Checkpoints and respawnability!

Yeah, that would be very hard to find way to come straight back to split point so, is it okey if i have two double checkpoints and 1 single in the composite route?

I wonder if people even try to look for the answer before they ask a question...

RULES says:

the 3-CP rule aims to ensure that eg. during online race, racers meet head-on at several locations, so it's not two completely separated roads.

It seems to me (also from the picture you posted) that you intend to build 2 mostly separate roads, which is ...NOT... what was meant by the topic. The rules don't forbid it, but don't be surprised if a judge says "I couldn't find a single place which, depending on route choice, you drive in different direction..."

Expressed in Paint, this is what you're supposed to do:



So, the same route, driveable in both directions. Not two routes which happens to have the same start and finish.
Since not everything is driveable backwards, some freedom is granted within reasonable amounts.

Well, i just made two mostly separated roads and only checkpoints are places where racers meet in different directions, actually racers meet 3 times in the track and thats the whole point in this? Its good that rules dont forbid it! I hope judge see it positive, because its MUCH harder to make it that way than the way you told about.
