Crowds?
Tracks Watkins Glen International 1.1
- Thread starter LilSki
- Start date
V0.7?
Very nice work on the cameras
I concur wholeheartedly. Though already a fan of the circuit, I was sorely missing it from the sim. I appreciate the inclusion of the "classic" configurations as well.
And while I'm posting about a Lilski creation...is it just me or is Bridgehampton absolutely sinful?
If it was anything like that in reality, the reputation that place had was well deserved. Shame it no longer exists.

Watching the PWC races at COTA this weekend makes me appreciate the Glen all the more. Anyone catch the MX-5 Cup race? The whole field was running deep into the runoff at the exit of ~4 corners on the circuit every damn lap. Just stupid. Absolutely stupid. Man I hate that track...
me some Watkins.

Never liked COTA and all of Tilke tracks

Brilliant, has been worth the wait.

I may not be fast, but I'm wide!
Yep, it was bloody fantastic. Sure, they were running wide but everyone was so no real advantage was being gained per se and in a car like that it's imperative to keep your momentum up and running wide allowed them to do that which led to some fantastic racing. P1-7 nose to tail for most of the last half of the race, great stuff.
If everyone stayed on the actual race track they'd still all have the same momentum, and the racing would still have been every bit as close.
I love the series, the racing is always great fun to watch, but that was ridiculous.

Meh, as long as everyone's doing it it doesn't bother me at all. Track limits are what the series stewards declare they are and the stewards were ok with them running wide so why should we care? There's so much run-off at COTA due to F1/FIA regulations that it's impossible for the organizers of these smaller series to police track boundaries so they just let them have at it. They did the same thing when IMSA was there. I watched 4 different races this weekend and MX5 Cup at COTA was by far the best IMO.
1970 final turn looking down to T1 (from http://transamracing.blogspot.com/2011/)
1971 after the destruction/construction, modern T1 ("the ninety") to T2

Which layout?
I love the track, very fast.
On Nascar layout, with the Lotus 98t, the car only slowdown below 200 km/h for 2 corners. It is a insanally very fast track.
