Well... Tip for beginners on this track; take the least powerful convertible that you have in your garage and drive a few slow laps; otherwise you will collide all the time, seeing, with your mouth open, all the details of this wonderful work of art..

Wow, what an awesome fantastic track !!!
The best fictional mod track I have ever seen !

You deserved to enter the throne of AC !!!

If I only could I would give you 10 stars for your work !

I appreciate it so much too that you do this just for fun and not for money, that's true "sim racing spirit" !

As I am on the same path with my video channel, just for fun, just for the community with no financial intentions, I am happy to do a video (4k including CSP and SOL, all options maxed out) of your fantastic track soon to share with the community.

Keep on racin' and continue with your awesome work !

Thank you for the kind words. I really enjoyed your video, great to see this kind of reaction especially in VR :) Indeed it would be great if a billionaire could build the track for real, let me know if you run into any ;)

Trying to load the track through CM with CSP, keeps crashing every time I try to run it

This is the first time ever anyone has had a problem loading the track. Can you tell me what the error is in the discussion and I'll try to help. Thanks, John.

Thank you, I'm quite a newbie to the community so it means a lot from those that are so established. Still work to do so this motivates me to keep going.

Excellent free flowing track. Great AI line. This is excellent fictional track.

Thank you, yep the AI line and hints has taken quite a bit of work to perfect. Hopefully it works for most cars at least.

Absolutely superb circuit -- fantastic flowing layout and atmosphere, great AI -- a must-have! Love the mining derrick and that fabulous rollercoaster. Ranks right up there with my favorite circuits, especially for F3 racing.

Thanks Shane, pleased to hear you enjoy it. Let me know which F3 set you are using; I spent some time trying to get the AI hints working properly for the RSR F3 cars, however any changes seem to compromise all the other cars (including all the Kunos cars) which seem to work pretty well. I don't want to slow them down just to get the RSR mod working!

Fantastic track. Utterly gorgeous and with so much to see. There are so many fantastic scenery items, the beautiful first corner grandstand, old mining structures, the majestic bridges and of course that awesome little rollercoaster (although some more detail on the train would be much appreciated for screenshotting!)

The layout of the track is absolutely brilliant to drive, as per the design intent the place is a real theatre of speed for high downforce cars, but even in low powered cars it has charm and appeal.

There are a few things that could be polished (the textures on the pit roofs and the banks when leaving the pits look a little awkward, and possibly a little more colour in the trees, but overall this is a fantastic track for AC which already fits in the 'must download' category. It certainly has very Polyphony levels of attention to detail and driving experience, capturing that 'believable but a bit better than real life' feeling that you get from, for example, Trial Mountain or El Capitan.

I wish I could give it 4.5 stars, but I just want to push that last little bit to get this to a Saschenring equivalent, up there as the best user made circuits in AC.

Thanks @McGherkin, much appreciated. Pleased you are enjoying the layout and thank you for the kind words. With one of these scratch made tracks it's really good to hear that the layout works well for sure!

Yep, agree about the pit area, indeed it's kind of next up on my todo list to revisit. Some of the meshing as well as the textures (and transitions) definitely need a rework ahead of a 0.4 release , so it's actually good to hear that you think the same as it puts it into focus. I'm also conscious that the gravel traps also need better texture mapping and meshing (something that gunnar333 has done particularly well on Saschenring). There are some rather large mesh faces that could also do with a little refinement in other places too.

Will definitely get onto it for the next major update! Not sure it's going to get up to Saschenring levels, but I'll give it my best shot :)

Thanks again, John.

Naprosto dokonalý okruh. Vyvojáři závodních simulátorů by se od vás měli učit. FANTASTICKÉ a ještě jednou DÍKY za zveřejnění.

I already enjoyed much the version 0.2 with its great layout, but this time, its a jump forward: the light quality, the trees... it's now a top-noch track! thank you very much for the hard work!

Thank you Vince, still some things to improve but getting there I hope. Probably the most time was spent refining the AI if I'm honest for a wide range of cars but pleased to hear the visual aspects are a step up!

Absolutely fantastic circuit. Visually spectacular, the scenery is stunning.
And to drive; it’s demanding, it's challenging, has a little bit of everything, including bumps, elevation, off camber, banking, slow speed, high speed. Get to lean on the Kerbs. And there are a few places, in a Formula car, where you really do get to rely on the downforce generated.
Turn 3, Cedric's, I think it is, breathtakingly good as you go flat out, down through the compression. And the last sector, what is it, turns 11,12, through to 13 - Church, just a brilliantly flowing sequence of corners.
This circuit is a better figure of 8 circuit than that of Suzuka! No really. Or should that be a figure of 88 as you cross over twice more!
Brilliantly designed racing circuit, it is simply a joy to drive.
Very well done, Sir. Tilke should study your work!

Thank you James. All the formula 1 cars (past to present) seem to be quite fun to drive around it from my experience. GT3s are ok too, but I tried to focus on high downforce cars in the layout which I think shows. Thank you for the kind words, perhaps someone could build it in real life?! You never know :)

Spectacular track, with a beautiful layout, scenery, and flow. And indeed, very well optimized too, runs at a constant 60fps on my rather modest rig ;)

Thanks, that's good news about the frame rate. I think there is some optimisation around the pit area to think about for the next release, although it's hard to tell sometimes as this is where cars congregate obviously!

Makes you want this circuit to exist IRL!
Cams should be created to feature some of the tracks great assets - wall of champions, coaster, etc.
Great job sir.
je5
je5
Thanks @RJL. I did consider making them more prominent, will have a think about it for the next release as cams probably need a revisit. One of my intentions was to keep something less obvious if you see what I mean, the coaster used to be over the track and things like this, but it tended to detract from the experience. I even thought about deleting it completely.
