I did the short (Piper) version of the track already, with a help of that video.
What I would like to know is how to set the competition in AC? Is it only a single lap, how/who does count the drifting points?
Cones and stuff is simply to put there, but I would like to know how the system works, if you know what I mean.

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

well, actually for online drifting there are usually jugdes, never participated on one though. it's not about the drifting points from the game, but there are some virtual drifting events.
It's not massive though, it just would be nice for the fun of it and since there is not proper version of tsukuba, this track would be nice for drifting.

 

[Mitja Bonca]

So, I only have to do the physical things that the drift it self needs, right?
So drift only as in real life, or the whole track?, Or full short track?

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

yes, drift as irl, usually a few corners on short track. actually by having the short track available it should be enough. people would probably drift the whole layout anyways.
Am I the only one drifting enthusiast here?
if the short version would be available for racing, then it should be enough.
if you wanna expend some extra time adding the cones or clipping points stuff. great, if not, not a problem man. having the track available already is a miracle

Lets compare a bit.
Real life Honda NSX from 2008/2009:

And a very good made mod of the same car on my track:

What do you say?
Btw, all split into sections, like AC has. Else, still missing some things, like the main is wall all around all objects. And some fixes that I just noticed white testing.

And if someone wants to try this great GT500 (JGTC) cars pack, inside the pack there are 4 of them, including old Toyota Supra, Nissan GTR, Lexus SC430 and legendary Honda NSX, can find it HERE. One of the best mods for sure. So enjoyable to drive.

Don't wanna get to nitpicking here but take a look at the kerbs in the 2nd corner, I know it's WIP still.
those are 2017 footage, from the videos I posted before. Oh, that's the grey gravel someone mentioned before, there seem to be like an over kerb at the end. Didn't check all corner though.

wow, there's even street view on the circuit, it's from 2 year ago, august 2015. pretty cool

It definitely looks great the track man, sorry

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

here's the FD 2015

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

and there are so many great footage from open wheeler!

...Oh, that's the grey gravel someone mentioned before, there seem to be like an over kerb at the end. Didn't check all corner though.

Will change that part, forgot to "remove" the grass part between the track and the send (until last year, there was a layer 1meter in width of it there). And will also do the new sand/gravel texture.
Btw, not really sure what you want to say, can you be more specific about that over kerb? You meant curb right?

 

[Mitja Bonca]

Modified right side in and out of 2nd turn. Check it out + new gravel texture.
Old:

New:

New in game:

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

Yes, kerb=curb

 

[Mitja Bonca]

@Leonardo Ratafiá can you answer on 1st question?

 

[Epistolarius]

It think what he means with "over" kerb is the lighter part extending outward at the end of the kerbing. In the last video posted you can see that it's sand or just soil without grass. It's not there on the older images on Google Maps/Streetview.

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

Yes exactly but it's really not that important. When I get to the computer I'll try to use an image, If that was the question.
Maybe it's just something they added this year, it happens with all the tracks, they get some new stuff but you can't just keep up updating to the latest modifications

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

it's just seem to be gravel or dirt, not the extra curb like some other tracks.
this is 2015

this is from 2017

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

it's great how it is man

 

[Mitja Bonca]

Until this year, there was a grass between curb and gravel trap width of cca 1 meter. This winter they removed the grass (my version used to have the grass too), and so did I today. About that sand on the end of the gravel trap its just a temporary, there will surely be grass in a year. They only put it there to cover the whole which was made during reconstruction. This winter there was a huge track modification (I used to finish the whole track according to 2016 layout, so I had to re-do all the new modifications, any clearly I missed some of them. Thx for the help.

Does the track "dip" down a little after turn 2? There is a very slight downhill bit just after T2, its more a "dip" than a hill or downhill slope. If you look at the angle of the kerb you can see the kerb flattens out on the right after T2, but the immediate exit has a slight downhill bit.
