Hoddesdon Park National Circuit by Caribstu of Ripe Banana for GTR2
======================================
This is not a commercial project, and these tracks are free to use. But If you'd like to show appreciation for all the hard work and support me in buying a coffee, Paypal me is paypal.me/RipeBananaGraphics
Hoddesdon Park is the second of my 20 tracks to be released.
ABOUT THE TRACK
Hoddesdon Park is a fictional circuit inspired by the 1985 layout of Rye House Kart Track, Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, UK.
The track is 'inspired' and not a 100% representation. It has been scaled up for cars, with some elevation added, and every effort has been made to create a natural feel to the track.
OPTIONAL installation is the Animations folder.
If you install this it will overwrite one of the animated spectators and replace his street clothes with a Marshal's suit.
If you do not install then some trackside marshals will appear in normal clothes.
KNOWN ISSUES
Pit Exit Light sequence.
No bump / ripple audio on rumble curbs.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
GTR2 is the only game / sim i have. I did not consider myself a 'gamer' before I discovered GTR2 and as someone who used to race i fell in love with A. the SIM aspect and B. the ability to 'mod'
The track is built in Bobs Track Builder, then edited in 3DsimED. Thanks to Brendon and Dave for those user friendly software.
I use a combination of photoshop, illustrator, and paint.net to do textures and skins.
Sketch up and Blender for some 3D modelling.
I knew nothing about modding before embarking on this project and it's all been a matter of 'self taught' with a lot of help from members of the NOGRIPFORUM and RACEDEPARTMENT
THE PROJECT
I began building 20 new unique original tracks as part of a collection designed for my fictional JCW MINI COOPER Racing Series, and HOT HATCH Championships. The tracks are all fictional, though several are inspired by UK Kart Circuits, scaled up for cars, with some artistic license in terms of layout and elevations. Two are inspired by sections of real world circuits, all blended together, and one is based on the Millbrook Proving Ground.
The 20 tracks were v1.0 completed between 2021 and 2022.
during 2022 I spent a lot of time tweaking AIW files, adding in ANI flag marshals, and upgrading the textures to HQ.
I have created a lot of original textures for my track builds. An emphasis on 'localizing' trackside billboards, and environment textures.
Some objects are original builds by myself, others are downloaded from 3D model stock sites, many are from widely available Xpacks, and some have been imported from other track models. No offence to the original creator of those models.
When i started this project it was only intended for my own personal use, but as I've gone on and my track builds have got better, I've decided to release them to share.
