[Kyle Puttifer]

Sign me up please.
I can make a recommendation for a track which would work well, but scenery isn't done yet unfortunately. (Beijing)
Other recommendations:
Gold Coast/Surfer's
A1 Ring
Imola 2006
Brands Hatch 2005
Donington11
Lausitzring by Com8 (Infield layout, not tri-oval)
FSR 2011 Istanbul
Silverstone 2011 by FCMG
Brianza 2011 update by Flo-Flo-F1
Grand Valley (GP)
Interlagos
Suzuka
Indianapolis (GP)
Laguna Seca
Nuerburgring GP-Strecke
Sepang
FSR 2011 Spa-Francorchamps
Vallelunga
Top Gear test track, just for laughs (I can send you an updated AIW with proper grid positions)

It's quite a list but should keep the mod going for a while. I just scrolled through my rF track list and picked the best ones and avoided the conversions.
Also notice the lack of Tilkedromes (apart from Sepang which is universally regarded as awesome).
Chose Silverstone 11 over 10 because Village, The Loop and Brooklands should create some immediate overtaking. If we used 10 then everyone would be strung out by the time we got to the Arena complex. Plus the new pits are amazing.
I'm sure that list can have more tracks added, there were just tracks that caught my eye.

Just uploaded a .zip from my Locations folder - same one used in previous Road America races. In-game folder is "ElkhartLake_08".

I wish we could use that RDLMS version. Just a couple small layout differences make a huge difference for my laps there.

 

[Mark Mendonca]

Count me in, I'll be there

 

[Mark Mendonca]

page not found on the track link... is this track on rfactor central?

 

[Kyle Puttifer]

No, it's hosted on the old RD server. Use my link above.

 

[Kyle Puttifer]

Got a rough quali time of a 1:44.3 - is that fast? It felt really fast. (low fuel and super soft)
EDIT: Just set a time of 1:44.2 in race trim (about 11 laps fuel and softs) so there's time to be found in quali trim.

 

[Lee Palmer]

Low on numbers again

Will leave this one upto you guys, will put server up later today and leave it upto you if you race or not

 

[Kyle Puttifer]

Surprised at the lack of signups, GP2s are a blast at Road America.
There has to be a reason for the lack of signups. It might be the mod itself, although there were about 13 or 14 at the first race at Yeongam.

 

[Ross McGregor]

I'd like to try this, but i've got another event on today.

 

[Kyle Puttifer]

Ah, you're missing out! Just did a full race sim, great fun!

 

[Martin Bulgin]

It is good fun this mod, I will be there tonight.

 

[Lee Palmer]

[Martin Gosbee]
