rFactor:new track. Birmingham
The US Pits have the first links to a wonderful new track. Orignally a
Motorcycle test track, it has been updated and is used for several sports car series as well. The Rolex Grand Am series is probably the biggest that schedules there now. Great fun, watch out for the Spiders and Ants. dave henrie http://thepits.us/board/viewtopic.php?t=1722 |

Well, they didn't start on these tracks 10 days ago, did they! Too much of this fanboy stuff will only put people off. |

LOL, ok sorry. Didn't you say this? "And as for the amount of feel I get for the contact patches of the tyres through the FFB wheel, well, I'm blown away!" -- David G Fisher |

It might. All I know is that I couldn't do better. I appreciate the work others do. That's not fanboy; it's simple appreciation. Alanb |

I haven't loaded it yet, but how about some tracks with asphault runoff
areas like F1 is starting to use? I hate having to learn a new track and having dirt runoff... Also where is the F1 mod? |

How about driving as if you could actually get hurt going off? I'm concentrating my offline simming towards a GTR monsterrank nowadays, so today I spend an hour getting to know Enna Pergusa<sp?>. I lost the Z3 GTR and F360 once each, settling into the minimalistic gravel run-offs without sustaining any damage. If having big offs and writing off cars is your way of progressing with a sim, consider this: you're only teaching yourself how to crash. Jan. =--- |

If you can't keep the car on the track, there's only 1 true alternative : slow down. -- -- François Ménard <ymenard> -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimago-Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World... |

Also where is the F1 mod? > > Sigh....here we get a track that is completely new on the ISI side of sims, and one that is very unique, and all we hear is...Eff One, Where's the Eff One? RH2004 or CTDP for F1c has all those asphalt montrosities. At least, from what I have seen, the closest Eff One track to Barber 'may' be the latest, the Turkish Track. They seem to share a similar elevation change feel. I was always stunned that Mid Ohio came reletivily late in the GPL track cycle, that Cleveland was never properly done for Papy sims from which it was based. The ISI modders had a more accurate and updated version of Cleveland at least a year ago and I don't think PAPY mods ever did see anything beyond a retextured ICR2 track. My favorite driving track for the F1c mods, was the 2nd attempt at Virginia...maybe not the best racing track because of it's long esses that prevent passing and (unless you belong to a certain GTP series that allows fast guys to 'move' slower ones out of the way :> ) but if you get the car dancing through those esses just right...is majik. So the VIRmz version, that was actually based on a Nascar Heat track and not GPL, blew away just about anything else for F1c. RH2004's Spa was very very good, as was the updated French track, Magny Cours, interestingly, the Papy modded version of Magny was not as accurate as the ISI track. 'Usually' it's the other way around. Lemans has been out for years in ISI-land, but the BEST version came late and for Nr2k3. . I expect the VIRmz to make it eventually to both GTR and rFactor, but for now, we have just two add-on tracks. Troi Reviors(sp?) in Quebec seems also be in the pipeline,. That one has seen many versions...for a city track it is very good. The biggest oddity about the two tracks that have been released so far, one a port and one a completely new build, is that both are located in North America. A large part of the ISI/Papy based mod community is Euro based. I am frankly suprised that the first releases were not the very same F1 tracks you wished for. BTW...there are two sandpits in the new track, I've found both. From viewing the last Rolex race held there, the 2nd one was referred to as China Beach. What do they call the asphalt that envelopes the new section of Nurburging GP? lol dave henrie |
