This is an extension for china_2021 track. The track is not included, since it is against RaceDepartment's policy - you do have to look/ask around to find it. Once you found it - simply copy over the content of the folder.

Changes:
- crowds! Simple and fps-friendly 2d crowds on all those massive stands, ready to cheer F1 and WEC events alike. Some are even waving animated flags!
- symmetrical trees in the original track were annoying me - had to chop all those and plant new trees, in a carbon-friendly way
- grass and kerbs were reshaded to add wear&tear for more immersion
- some material tweaks

I was planning to spend more time on this track, but since I haven't actually touched it for two months now - I want to release as-is, in case someone might enjoy it. I am quite satisfied with the added immersion and have switched to other tracks since, but more tweaks could be definitely added (e.g. displays, more trees, more flags and banners).

My extension wouldn't be possible without all the amazing work done by multiple very talented individuals!
If you want to re-use any of the (original) textures, models or shader settings from this extension - I have no objections whatsoever.
Comments and feedback are welcome, as well as suggestions for the next track to facelift!

I like the extansion. It is very good overall. Although I wish there was a way to get rid of the helicopters. I hate those.
Thanks for your amazing work. I hope you will cover the Korean or Indian GP as well.

Thanks for the review. Indian GP track does look interesting. Too bad it doesn't see major events anymore.
As with your other track extensions, this really does transform this track from stock. Highly recommended for the 2021 track. It does seem like the 2021 version of the track is a huge downgrade over the previous china_gp version. The 2021 has no track lighting at as all.

thanks for pointing out china_gp version - I need to check this out. In all likelihood - they share the same origin and extension can be applied/merged.
where is the track?
Another brilliant facelift.
However, one small detail: could you change the categories of these to Ac Misc, as all things track related are (like Fanapride's track logos, for example)? That would really help keep AC Tracks as a resource for tracks!

Thanks! Re: category - I believe track extensions are usually shared under AC Tracks here on RD. My initial inspiration was amazing work by Johnr: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/spa-remastered.43055
There´s no link of China 2021 track

I can't post links to some tracks due to RD content rules. You need to ask around to find it - sorry for the inconvenience.
