How to simulate the Slalom maneuver in A/Car

Hello
I want to simulate the Slalom maneuver (which means driving between the cones located with equal interval).
First, I tried to set up the Sine-Sweep Steer according to Slalom characteristics. I mean, to find correct values of steer frequency and steering angle to ensure model riding with proper lateral displacement (which more than a half of car width, obviously). But the path of the model (when you check it in a postprocessor) doesn't look like as desired to be (in a picture attached). There is an explanation for this issue, I know
So, Sine-Swept Steer maneuver doesn't meet the requirements.
I remember that one day I found a picture of the FVA staying on a road with cones (for slalom maneuver, I suppose). So, there must be a tool to build this road. But I didn't find anything looks like a cone in Obstacles menu in Road Builder.
If you know how to simulate the slalom maneuver, please, tell me about it.
Thank you in advance.

    Thank you, Jesper and Damian, I've already started working with the path description in Excel and File Driven Events, and it really works.
