Thanks for all your kind comments guys.
Lilski, the rest of the team and and I have been working through some last minute texture tweaks and tidying up a few odds and ends which is to be expected. No reason it should affect the release schedule.

cool, it's a cracking track, my favourite layout in iracing was the east course
Counting down the days of this week!
I just wanted to say that I am honored Darren asked me to test this great track and allow me to make a contribution to the project. This was a nice change of pace for me as I needed a small break from my own projects. I really think you all will like this great US track.
Funny thing I found out today is VIR was originally built in 1957. Same year as Bridgehampton, Riverside, Lime Rock, Laguna Seca, and I'm sure a few more. '57 was one heck of a year for US race circuits!
Anyway since a few shots have been posted here I thought it would be OK to post one that shows what I did. The main things are the road and grass textures. I used a new trick on the grass using custom mip maps to mostly eliminate the dreaded texture repeat over long distance. I will post a tip on that after VIR is released.

Oh man, it's going to be a long week. Can't wait.
A massive thank you to @LilSki for taking the time to cast his fairy dust over VIR prior to release. His technical prowess means we now have a product that both looks, and performs better than it already did. We salute you sir! 
Really, all that remains at this end is to package everything up and have a bit of fun testing
tick, tock....
