About the guy on the Cobra replica, I prefer the other video on his page where at least he uses the 4th gear

In any case, I now have the urge to race the Cobra on that track.. ok. Breathe. It's coming.

@LilSki, that clip looks spectacular!!
Thanks for giving us the classic layout too, and what a car the 312/67 is to showcase it, ahh, sweeet nostalgia

Even though it's not the Classic layout of the 60's the F1 cars ran on, I'm okay with doing the NASCAR Short Course layout without the Inner Loop Section.

Mitja Bonca · Mar 12, 2018

Would be awesome to have track layout from 60s, but it would be again a new challenge - a complete new track (maybe some stuff like terrain layout, can be taken out of this, but mainly would be a complete new circuit with a new environment).

LilSki · Mar 12, 2018

It's a whole new track but it is a simpler track too. Not much as far as track objects go. About 60%-70% of the current track is the same as far as layout goes. As I said many pages ago I might experiment with grafting in the old layout on the current data at some point. But that won't be until the current track is finished. But between what I have now, the 1957 aerial, and old Can-Am videos I should be able to get a fairly accurate rendition of the old missing section.

In either case the classic Nascar layout shown earlier works very well in the older cars.

Thank You LilSki. It's a shame that nobody's made the classic Watkins Glen layout yet, nor classic Mexico City.

Well there is only a handful of us building proper accurate scratch built tracks. Plus Mexico sucks except for one turn

. It tried to mimic Riverside but failed miserably.

That's okay. I can always make substitutions

Made a quick video of a few laps around the classic short circuit in the 312/67. AI was at 97% so they were a tad slow.

Your mod tracks always have amazing trees/vegetation, done with lots of care and attetion to detail... and this track in particular might just have the best looking trees I've ever seen in Assetto Corsa.

Can't wait to take the F2004 around the home of American F1........not this rubbish COTA

Lets just hope they stay at COTA so they don't try and ruin Watkins.

Just been tackling details I've been putting off. Beta release TODO list is getting short. Should be something out by next weekend but we will see.

Oh God, please nobody let Tilke within 300 miles of Watkins!

Well, to be fair, he also did Bilster Berg...

Yeah I don't really blame him much as he has had his hand on some cool circuits. I blame F1 for the majority of ruined tracks.

RufGTI · Mar 13, 2018

And also there are lots of worse Tilke F1 circuits (Shanghai, Abu Dhabi, ...).

Mitja Bonca · Mar 13, 2018

Tilke only does what he is asked to, 100% not his fault for any of the modern circuit. It`s, as said, the F1 as a company and their ppl in charge for it.

Warlord_Gonagy · Mar 13, 2018

True..... and for all of my griping, COTA isn't actually all that bad. And he did design Malaysia........

If it weren't for what he did to Hockenheimring, I might even find it in me to forgive him......

I'm actually of a very few who think Hockenheim was improved. The really original circuit was just a boring flat out track. Then they riddled it with terrible chicanes for a few decades. Now it is a more balanced layout that actually makes sense. It is sad they destroyed the original layout though even if they weren't planning on using it.
