Opened as Ruapana Park in 1963, Euromarque Motorsport Park (often referred to as Ruapuna) is a permanent motor racing circuit owned and operated by the Canterbury Car Club Inc on land leased from the Christchurch City Council. It is located at 107 Hasketts Road in Templeton, 13-kilometre (8.1 mi) west of Christchurch, New Zealand.
It supports seven layouts (1993–present), from the 1.200 km (0.746 mi) "A Track" to the 3.380 km (2.100 mi) "Grand Prix with dipper"(this version misses the 'A' Trioval Circuit).

Congratulations Luis. It was a real pleasure to help with this track.

Its easily the best version for AC. Road, cambers, kerbs are very accurate.

This track was made analyzing thousands photos. Mountains are not to tall. Of course they are not 100% accurate but their scale is more or less adequate to the RL. See below

Love the not so good AI comment. Its so specific and helpfull. We spent a lot of time to balance it being challenging and crash free. Please provide more details if you expect some fine tuning in this aspect.

This is a fun and challenging track, really well-made and high quality.

The only issue I'm having is in the menu, when selecting 1 of the 6 layouts in content manager, they're not showing the outlines, so they're just empty buttons. The layouts do show in the image previews above, so it's not a big deal. Comparing to the files of other tracks, it seems the images used for these buttons are just empty layout.pngs for Ruapuna.

The track itself though is great!

Good track overall but it has the wrong mountains on the background. Not only are they too tall, they're also on a completely random and not-true-to-life location. A simple view of some videos about the real track will attest to this. I know it's not your fault and it originated on the original rF2 track, but that is what's keeping this away from the perfect 5-star mark. Also, the AI could be better but that's no big issue.

Luis Barata

The game mountains can never be on the correct distance or they won't be seen. In this case the mountains in front are in real life at 12 Km and the back at 37 km and that are distances that are quite big to look right in the game. Doing that at real distances they were to small due to the zoom of the game. We need to get them at a closer distance and get the height and size more or less correct. It's not an excuse is just a problem of every game. I hope you play it without being disturbed by the mountains.
