WELLWOOD GP & CLUB Circuits
by Caribstu of Ripe Banana for GTR2
======================================
This is not a commercial project, and these tracks are free to use.
WELLWOOD is the Fifth of my 20 tracks to be released.
ABOUT THE TRACK
Wellwood Club Circuit is a fictional circuit inspired by the layout of Wombwell Kart Track, South Yorkshire, UK.
Wellwood GP Circuit is a fictional circuit inspired by corners of various UK circuits raced throughout the BTCC Championship.
The tracks are 'inspired' and not a 100% representations. Wombwell is an anti-clockwise track which features two long straights and a hairpin. It has been scaled up for cars, and set as a fictional club circuit joined with the fictional full length GP circuit.
OPTIONAL installation is the Animations folder.
If you install this it will overwrite one of the animated spectators and replace his street clothes with a Marshal's suit.
If you do not install then some trackside marshals will appear in normal clothes.
SETTINGS folder is included, as the track my demand this path, it WILL NOT overwrite any of your existing settings.
NO KNOWN ISSUES
DISCLAIMER: Install and use this track and it's components at your own risk. It's advisable to make a copy of your main GTR2 file before any MOD installation.
TRACK VIDEO on Youtube.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
GTR2 is the only game / sim i have. I did not consider myself a 'gamer' before I discovered GTR2 and as someone who used to race i fell in love with A. the SIM aspect and B. the ability to 'mod'
The track is built in Bobs Track Builder, then edited in 3DsimED. Thanks to Brendon and Dave for those user friendly software.
I use a combination of photoshop, illustrator, and paint.net to do textures and skins.
Sketch up and Blender for some 3D modelling.
I knew nothing about modding before embarking on this project and it's all been a matter of 'self taught' with a lot of help from members of the NOGRIPFORUM and RACEDEPARTMENT
I began building 20 new unique original tracks as part of a collection designed for my fictional JCW MINI COOPER Racing Series, and HOT HATCH Championships. The tracks are all fictional, though several are inspired by UK Kart Circuits, scaled up for cars, with some artistic license in terms of layout and elevations. Two are inspired by sections of real world circuits, all blended together, and one is based on the Millbrook Proving Ground.
The 20 tracks were v1.0 completed between 2021 and 2022.
During 2022 I spent a lot of time tweaking AIW files, adding in ANI flag marshals, and upgrading the textures to HQ.
I have created a lot of original textures for my track builds. An emphasis on 'localizing' trackside billboards, and environment textures.
Some objects are original builds by myself, others are downloaded from 3D model stock sites, many are from widely available Xpacks, and some have been imported from other track models. No offence to the original creator of those models.
When i started this project it was only intended for my own personal use, but as I've gone on and my track builds have got better, I've decided to release them to share.

However, I'm at a loss to understand why because the NIGHT.DDS is packed into the map.gtr and should be in most users' shared skies gtr anyway. Strange. There are certain generic mats such as start light glows, horizons, skies which are packed into all my tracks. It's so strange on this one some users have had this Night.dds problem.
I asked Jeff and Walead to run traces just to be certain it was the same Night.dds issue causing their CTD, and not something else.
But Thank you Sergio for taking time to review the track and post the mediafire link for others. Now you've confirmed the same cause as the user on Trackaholics we can now say confidently this is the probably cause for anyone else getting CTD and your mediafile fix will rectify the problem.
So thank you Sergio.
