Hi Guys

Here is my update for rt_sonoma.

This track was requested by @Sascha Guenther and really want to thank him for the request, thank you my friend!

I forgot how good this track is, brings back good memories from AMS1.

He sent me a YouTube video as a reference and surely gave me some work.

The original track is green, I remember this track from AMS1 to be more of a desert type of track which goes perfectly with the video sent.


Just as you guys will rate/review my tracks, I do the same for myself.

My top three are Macau, Red Bull Ring and Nordschleife, this one is right there.

Really turned out super pretty and hope you guys enjoy:)

Try the original conversion first and then try my update, the transformation is amazing and I hope you guys enjoy my make over.


Installation:

- Track download included in my update

- Download track and install
- Install my update manually (no CM) and select my skin update in content manager (CF1_Sonoma)

very nice !
awesome job like all the others you made. can you put the jerseys inside the Uturn before the finish line like in the nascar vid you posted instead those tyres piles? I feel the hills around the track should be more desertic ans yellowish than it is now, but probably the track and the surrounding have very different colors dependant on what time of the year you are racing there. anyway, it is great

Yes , excellent job !
Excellent work! Thanks! Could you please take a look at the part between T6 and T7 of the WTCC Layout? The track goes to the left after the long left downhill corner and the textures there look a bit weird

Love Suzuka, my style of track but do have one or two tracks before coming.

On holidays for the next three weeks so will be updating some more stuff that I've being busy with :)
Brilliant as usual, thanks a lot for everything you're doing. I still wonder how such spectacular improvements don't have any negative impact of FPS)

My updates and upscaled textures work with Kunos game engine, sometimes you will even have better FPS and balanced frame rates.

I run much better FPS and balanced framerates with my updates.

I don't go big, just save my texture files differently to everyone :), little secret I have

Some textures also impact FPS and I make adjustments to improve a smooth flow

Thanks for the review!
looks fantastic!
As always, phenomenon!!
Amazing work, thanks again!

If I may make a suggestion for your next track, would love to see what magic you could bring to Bathurst/Pyyer ;-)
Hey, I could not thank you enough for your work you do around here man. Absolutely legend! Many thanks!
