The legendary version of Mid Ohio by Virtua_LM from the original rFactor converted and upgraded for Automobilista!
3 layouts included:
Big thanks to @Dann Murillo for adding AMS skies to the track and @Simon Aguirre for updated AI files! And to @Marcojrod for permission to include modified versions of his custom loading screens for Mid Ohio.
Other than these changes and AMS features added to the track TDF files, the track remains as it was in the original rFactor version for now: hence the 0.xx version number. I hope that future updates and contributions can improve it over time to a level near that of the Patrick Giranthon mod tracks, but it is not there yet.
Community improvements and contributions are welcome and encouraged! Feel free to post any updates to textures, ad banners, AMS features (shaders, marbles, dynamic track), AI lines, road mesh, or anything else on RD somewhere and link it in the Discussion thread – I'll review it and likely add it to the track in a future update. Of course, if you have any issues with the mod, please post in the Discussion thread.
Personal car recommendations for fun racing around this track – CART Extreme obviously since CART raced here back in the day, but I also find slower cars like the Caterhams and MX-5s to be a ton of fun on this twisty, technical circuit.

v0.2 changelog:
- Updated TDF file to add some standard AMS features borrowed from Caruaru: track grip levels, non-visual dynamic track, bumps
- Thank you to @Sergiolo @Niels_at_home and others for the information about these features!
- Note: v0.2 updates undid the previous increase to the track grip from v0.1
v0.11 changelog:
- Added updated AIW files from @Simon Aguirre (improved AI lines and track cut boundaries)
v0.1 changelog:
- Upped track grip to 1.10 (as is common for conversions from rF1 to AMS) in the TDF files for each layout.
- Updated to 'new' AMS loading screens style.
- Improved AI fast line, pit line for No Chicane and Miller Lite 200 layouts. Fast line optimized in particular for CART Extreme for greater smoothness, staying off kerbs. Improvements may remain for the complex after the back straight and the Carousel. Did also improve the Chicane layout AI, but still needs work, esp. through the turn before the Carousel.
- AMS skies have been added! Big thank you to @Dann Murillo!
