New track

[wenmo]

In IRacing news they have just announced a new track "Bristol oval," I remember this track from nascar 2003 sim and it was a fantastic track to drive. I might have to go without my 6 pack of Johnie Walkers this weekend to purchase it. I am somewhat a little concerned with the love affair the yanks have with oval racing and hope an equal share of road circuits continue to be implemented.

My favourite oval track is Bristol
road is Bathurst
street circuit is Adelaide

Having said that I change like the wind and next month i would give you a different answer

My question to my fellow sim racers is what track you would like to see implemented in IRacing in oval, road and street?

[thornz]

Oval: dont have any
Street Circuit: The macau gp track
Road racing: Spa

[ysu]

oval; the less the better
street; the less the better (if anything, then a track with plenty of road space, nothing like macau)
road; Donington

[Bauer]

oval - Texas
Street - Long Beach
Road Course - Mid Ohio

[Duke]

Oh dear, this announcement makes the announcement over @ LFS seem so much more exciting (when it really isn't either imho).
New Track = US Oval = :yawn:

[Exar Kun]

I really want to see Long Beach, Watkins Glen & Mid Ohio.

LOL i feel deflated

Bristol baby! fuck yeah.

All you lot suck. Just so you know

[Righteous]

Sweet!! I love Bristol.. I remember that from old nascar days too. Craaazy track.

[Exar Kun]

I admit that Bristol is an awesome track. The atmosphere, even in a sim, is great with those massive stands. And it'd certainly be on my must see list of tracks in real life...

But I'm only really interested in the road courses still. I can't wait to see what sort of detail turns up in the Long Beach track. And Mid Ohio and Watkins are just classic circuits.

I remember Bristol from Nascar 1!

Oval=Calder! (I really couldn't car less, although Talladega is a nice fast one)
Road=Imola, San Marino (Although Phillip Island would be nice, and a dream; The Nordschleife for special endurance events )
Street=Gotta love Melbourne.

[Exar Kun]

I know it's been done to death in sims, but apart from GP4, it really hasn't been done very well - i'd love to see Monaco done properly.

[KNAPPO]

Oval = Not too fussed.
Road = Clemont Ferrand or Road Atlanta
Street = Adelaide!!

[Bauer]

Road = Clemont Ferrand or Road Atlanta

RA now there is a good fun track. be good with that prototype thingy

I could also imagine destroying a lot of Skippy's on the final turn

[Fandango]

+1 for monaco... Who cares if it's done to death... it's an awesome track.

For road i'm also a lover of Spa

[KNAPPO]

Road = Road Atlanta

Yeah the last turn is a doosey

Road Atlanta being a Yankee track, there is a fair good chance it could get scanned.
There are many European tracks ide rather have but its one of the great American road tracks and isn't in that many sims.

EDIT:

This PIC shows the elevation change of the final turn at RA.
If the final turns at Infineon & Summit Point seem bad, this one would drive people nuts!!!

[dvestate]

Perfect time to release it with the all the Nascar classes racing there this week

[Bauer]

check out all the skidmarks into the final turn at RA



and the car above:

[KNAPPO]

Oops!!!

That turn is defiantly a car killer.

[Santaria]

pfft... that'll buff right out!

[c.j]

seems like 90% of people who can afford one them couldnt drive it for shit...

Either that or he was one of the select few willing to push it to the limit .... and past!

[dvestate]

Unfortunately the size of your bank account doesn’t translate to you ability to drive cars fast……. Looks like that guy found that out the hard way

[Exar Kun]

All depends whether he went off when going slowly or pushing and driving fast, doesn't it? Name me an F1 driver who hasn't stacked their F1 car? Chances are he falls into the former category but then everyone pushes too hard sometimes, no matter what their skill level.

[ysu]

the thing is we think that it's a bugger to ruin such a nice car, and it's a big hit to your wallet; but it might just be one of his 15 cars, and he may just buy another one next week to replace this. Minor nuisance, cause you need to hitch a ride home?
