I've never been a huge fan of Watkins Glen, but it was a part of the 1967 F1 Championship so it is significant.

20 Pit slots, the original pit lane was TINY and I would have struggled to have more than 6 pit spots, so I moved the pit garage back to make room.

Nice track, there is few 70's tracks. AI needs to be faster but overall is correct, thanks!

Not sure what the last guy is on complaining about bumps on a track from 1967. That's kinda how they were. It's perfectly playable and as someone who still plays GPL, it feels just right unlike GPL where you couldn't model bumps. The only issue I have is the AI with the GPL mod, not sure if it's the track or the car mod but the are hopelessly uncompetitive, I'm not that good and lapped the entire field in a 20 lap race I just finished. AI was set to max in content manager

Not recommended for now--needs track update.

Great track with personality and pains me to give the modder 3 stars and not recommend their track (truly if not for the bumps I'd recommend it fully) but the track is in my opinion, much much too bumpy and really for me is unplayable. Sad but true.

Really hope it gets an update to the road mesh or whatever it is that is making it so bumpy in certain places. Racing on this track right now is a mess. :(

Thank you! This brings back great memories. The 1967 U.S. GP was the first race I attended and this is very much the way I remember the track.

Fun track. Could you increase the pitboxes from 20 to 25 in a possible update so we can put a decent size grid on the track for multiplayer?

Nice to have another 67 track for the GPL mod, thank you, but too bumpy for me. Not undrivable at all, but not very comfortable in some areas.

Thanks! I know it's not super authentic, you can overlap pitboxes with no other detrimental effects.

Thank You.
Now if I use a modern version of Mosport and the very good Rouen [available here at RD] instead of Bugatti [as in GPL] the only track missing to complete the '67 seaon is Mexico.
Any chance of you having a go at it?

Gilles75

Sorry but the Mexico layout is just too awful for me to waste one second on. I'll leave that to someone else.

Nice try. I can almost hear Jacques Duvall, the long-term track announcer, mangling Jo Bonnier's name (he pronounced it "Bone-ear"), but the presence of several jolts (not bumps, not heaves, more like parking logs) in the racing line...like the one at the end of the main straight...make it all but undriveable, at least in the '67 F1 carset I have.

Gilles75

I use the very same GPL 67 cars it have no problems driving this track. Are you marking me down because of YOUR lack of driving skill? Just saying.

Again, thanks so much for re-introducing these classic tracks to AC. The modern versions just aren't the same. So far tests well. Sachsenring 76 would make my collection complete. I know Sergio Loro is hoping to get to it next year, but I wonder if you have a version in the works.

Gilles75

I offered to help Sergio with his track but he wants to do it himself. I has a version of my own but lost it when old PC died.
