just wondering.....what's your go to track to try/test new car releases?

Glen vw · Dec 22, 2016

Fun tracks listed! Definitely some classics. a track I recently ran across: Algarve Circuit has been a lot of fun with some tight along with sweeping turns, elevation changes and a decent front straight.

Monza, its simple like me.

Black Cat County Long, great for testing Road cars, add a load of other road cars for ambience, great fun & relaxing

I always go to Sebring, it's my home track, and I've done a 2:29 in my S2000 in real life there, and I like to compare other cars to that. Granted turn 13 doesn't have the same wide exit curbs as in real life, and the track is less bumpy than the real life one along the main straight, but other than that it's pretty accurate.

Imola for modern cars and nords or old monza for classics

Right now it's Circuit Mont Tremblant. Lots of medium and fast corners, some decent elevation changes and hard braking zones.

Magione and Nordschleife in that order give a good first impression and are a good way to learn cars in my opinion. Magione because it's very tight, has some good braking zones, turns that allow for some experimentation, one longer straight that leads into a somewhat aero-dependant turn that takes some courage to be fast, requires riding medium to high kerbs and is still short, good for quick testing. It's in a way like a smaller Vallelunga, only that it's a bit too flat...

Magione for me too, usually. Actually it's the only place I've driven the 917K so far, sort of a weird combo IMO. Instead of the Nord, I often use VIR Grand West. It has Nord-like elevation and variation, but in a much shorter lap.
However, I decided to give Spa some love with PP3 release no explanation needed.

Nords, or RIR for race cars. Used to run Grobnik a lot too. If I'm working on physics for a car and I have lap data from any tracks we have in AC, I drive there.

Silverstone GP, only because I'm comfortable with my ability on it and Spa is too long

Silverstone, it's my test track in all sims , especially when i had rf2 in which I played the demo version like a million laps.
AC totally outperformed it in every way but the test track remained.

Strange that no-one mentioned Barcelona. Superb track for testing.

Mugello and Barcelona for fast cars.

I'm going to add Red Bull National as another good track to get some baseline testing in at. Only about 1 minute for a lap in a fast street car.

Barcelona Moto, for me one of the most complete tracks in terms of different turns.

HypoToad · Jan 3, 2017

Road America I love that track, it's got a bit of everything, downhill corner, sweeping bend, long up hill straight.

Bram Hengeveld · Jan 3, 2017

Nurburgring GP & Nordschleife are my test tracks

Turk · Jan 4, 2017

I don't really have a go to track, I've probably spent the most time on the Nordschleife and Spa, I feel like I should be putting in time at Spa whenever I can, it's an important track to be familiar with. But I usually just pick the track I'm in the mood for.

Don't like Magione though, I'd avoid that track for the most part.
