Okay, I saw this had no reviews, so I thought I'd give it a try. I tried this track with the Formula Hybrid 2021, Peugeot 406 1998 BTCC car, and an Ascari 2013 GT3 car for a mixture.
Pro's:
-Track layout is really fun regardless of car, with some fun, flowing corners, long straights and slower corners.
- The area's around the track, such as grandstands, are all positioned in good places, and don't give off that this is some huge, cookie cutter f1 venue, which I like.
- The track has a LOT of potential.
- Track has good area's for DRS placement, or for the older cars/non formula, great opportunities to tow and pass (See cons for why i could not test this theory)
- Track has clearly had thought put into it, and it's clear it wasn't put together in 5 mins. OP is definitely committed to the project, so hopefully with regular improvements, it'll become an RD favourite.
Cons:
- Graphically inferior - to be expected at this stage, but has to be said. Grass Textures in particular wouldn't look amiss in GTR1.
- Some Kerbs work - some don't - it's a bit of a lottery. Sometimes you can take a kerb, but then the next kerb throws you 50ft in the air. Barriers DO work, despite OP saying they don't, but they throw you into a cannonball spiral and then under the map.
- AI does NOT work - you cannot do a race on this track, the AI stay stationary
- No track map - would be good to have one for those of us who like one on display
- This is MORE of a gripe than a con, but the final straight into final corner is definitely copying Adelaide, and doesn't try to hide it., whether intentional or coincidence, it feels very out of place with the rest of the track, and could do with a rejig.
As for a track name, as you've based in France, a good working title might be Centrale de Sillage - Slipstream Central - for now. It may also get you more downloads than just "racetrack" whilst you find a better name.
Keep it up, I hope to see some great improvements from this.
