Queensland Raceway [Early Alpha available - Do as you please]
Posted by AUS_Doug
Queensland Raceway - WIP
'The Paperclip', located in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia is a short (3.12 kilometres) six corner circuit that plays host to a round of the Australian V8 Supercar championship, as well as Superbikes, drifting events and club and track days.
The lack of elevation provides a great viewing experience for crowds, with the entire circuit visible from any vantage point.
Update:
It's almost certain now that I won't be able to take this any further for the foreseeable future, so I'm making available my .dat & .gp4 for anyone else who might want to have a go.
(The Google Maps image I used as a base is also included, and is mapped to a plane in the .gp4)
Download Here
This, I think, would make a great starting point for anyone looking at getting into track building - This circuit is about as simple as you're ever likely to see.
If you want to work with the tarmac, banks etc that are in the .gp4 at the moment, I was using Montreal as a base, so GP4 Builder will want those textures.
What needs doing:
* Elevation of the circuit; It doesn't have a whole lot, being mostly flat.
* Pitlane needs some adjusting; In my testing, 1 race out of 3, a car from Team 1 would get stuck. And the shape isn't perfect.
* Surrounding land, fences and all other graphical stuff.

you'd need to replace Malaysia with Shanghai. Also there is a Phillip Island that you could use.
Ruben you missed the Abu Dubai typo too

Yes, Turbo Lover, you can. Besides, I didn't know import the original kerbs. In fact, I tried my best to do an update the most pleasant. I saw the track on Youtube and I didn't like it very much. (P.S : I promise not to call you again Turbo "Omelette" Lover
)
