Name of original track:
Description: 16 Turn Road Course, most info an be found in the us pits forum, will place into final readme.

Description by Dathyr1 of the pits:
Your road track is very nice 3 mile track with the series of rolling esses at the beginning, a long straight to a watkins glen type chicane, and a nice long main straight past the pits. You make the first turn off the main straight of the track a bit scarey, by coming down full steam and go up over a little rise, and then to do a hard brake to make the first turn and into esses. I like it and seems to add excitement to the track. Took me several laps to figure out the tempo of the track. Far as the grip of the track, it doesnt seem too bad for me. The last practice session i did on it, I figured out a way to get through the watkins glen type chicane without having to even touch the road strips in third gear and by using the car sway a little. My fastest time on the track so far is 1:31.238 with TA mod.

The track is nice and wide to do passing anywhere and transistions of track are very good to go from your straights to esses and turns on the track. Dont know what other details you plan for the track but so far is very good. Didnt get a chance to check tire temps over several laps. Will see how that goes tonight.

With your current horizon, it gives the track an open countryside European atmosphere like a bullrun.

Installation instructions: (optional)

Changes since last version: Track length reduced from 3.103 to 3.096 miles. Added wire fences alongthe whole length of the track. Tire walls added in sections, elevation changed, (gradients reduced, some caused many bumps, unexpected ones). Backstretch kink widened, and smoothened out. Chicane reworked to watkins glen type. Rumble's lowered to 0.05 meters from 0.11, and most widened from 1 meter to 1.5 meters in width. Turn 12 reworked, to allow better exit. Pit lane moved closer to track, and exit is now in turn 1. I found too many crashes could be caused by the early merge. Pit lane lengthened, there is approx 20 meters between each stall now. Concrete patches installed in every corner but the banked corner, which is banked at 13.56 degrees.

Known Bugs: Pace lap(s), suck terribly, i need help in these depts. Ai is erratic at times, but fairly racey.

Credits: Project Wildfire: - http://www.projectwildfire.com - mainly for the asphalt from kyalami, and mosport, as well as other textures

I used the Tom Pabst curbing texture to help create my blue rumble strips. I used an overlay and mulitply layer over top to get the desired colour.
