Tracks Bridgehampton Race Circuit 2.0

[LilSki]

LilSki updated Bridgehampton Race Circuit with a new update entry:

The Bridge

REMOVE OLD TRACK FOLDER FIRST! DO NOT OVERWRITE!

This is a complete rebuild of Bridgehampton. Fall or autumn has been removed as a layout. I may release a skin pack at some point but it will never be a second 'layout' like it was in 1.1.

There are too many changes to list but there is a substantial change to the overall layout to be much more accurate. T1 is now based on Lidar data as well. Many new textures all around.

Key Notes:

• If you don't like the cones the...

Thank you for this update to this already-great track

What'll happen to laptimes that have already been recorded? I'm wondering if the laptimes were linked to the fall or summer track versions (and would be deleted when removing the older version.)

They indeed would be tied to the fall and summer layouts of old. I feel you should treat this as a new track. The layout is changed enough to have a significant impact on lap times. That is one of the reasons I decided to go single layout.

Thank you 'ski!

You think that was serious

Man, the Lola T70 and the 917/30 are just bliss around this track.

Stunning work. The foliage layout looks even more natural. Great attention to detail! The changes in the turns makes the track even more interesting and challenging!

While passing under the "Chevron gasolines" pedestrian bridge there was a fair amount of reverb, is this intentional ?

I noticed the same reverb in echo valley as well although perhaps this was intentional considering the name, haha

Yes and it is intentional and it was actually a vehicle bridge as scary as that sounds.

Ok, cool. That is wild !

Awesome track!

First turn has changed lots and it is so much better.

Yes that is what prompted me to revisit the entire track. Turns 3 and 4 are also pretty different than before. The last major change was the final turn which is faster now. Other than those 4 turns there was many minor elevation changes all around the track. I think overall it drives much better now.

Thanks for the update Lilski, as you say the track has a much better flow now, good job!

You did an fantastic job with the overhaul of the complete track!
I particular love the rough track edges all around.
Compared to the first public release this recent one is on another planet.

Somehow i managed to find the one tire barrier that behaves different the the others.
It is the inside tire barrier at the exit of the hairpin.

All other have an more solid characteristics.

It does feel more of a natural landscape now, but the track was always top class. The more laps you do, the more you feel like you are there, in that sandy place 30 years ago.

 

[BenCollins]

Yes, last turn is much quicker now and exit speed much higher for main straight. This makes speed into the first turn faster too, so certain cars that were flat out before, now need a slight drop to get through turn one. That caught me out first time...!

PS: Bridgehampton got a mention today at the Goodwood live stream. The Porsche 917/30 was doing the hillclimb, when the commentator was talking about the Can-Am series. He was describing the series, as many UK viewers would not have heard of it, and he specifically mentioned Bridgehampton as one of the "scary circuits" they raced at.

I'll try and find the clip.

In the meantime, here are the Can-Am cars from last year's festival

Well there was bound to be something. Not enough to post a fix IMO since it is a wall just the physical part isn't lined up perfectly. It's because I moved that wall around some and forgot to update the actual wall. I'll give it some time for more bugs.
