thx claudio

Hi Claudio, thank you very much for these two fine updates, nice to see more variations of the tracks available

I'm working on an update of Mexico City, the usual graphic stuff...
As soon it is ready i'll post it.
Bye

magnifico !

any chance that you can make the 2015 grand prix ?
(at least track, scenery, basic stuff...)

Ok guys.
I have posted in the usual section: downloads\grandprix3\f1tracks an update of Mexico City.
Many thanks to Elio2013 which allowed me to use his very good looking jams and other stuff from his own 1991 Mega Patch.
Now the track looks much better.

About 2015 F1 Gp i suppose, i'm not going, at the moment, working on it.
But, the layout seems to be the one used for the ChampCar (or Cart, or Indycar...) in 2002, and we have a very good one (at least, i have it).
By the way, i'm not able in making the track basics (track layout and ccline). So you have to wait for someone else...

Bye

same here, claudio, missing the skills to make a track from scratch.
But, i have a few mexico layouts, like the 2002 cart track, maybe i can do some tweaks.

cu

The Mexico City Cart 2002 i have is a great one, beautiful graphic, fantastic Jams, many details. Don't remember the author, sorry.
If the F1 layout is the same we can use it, but i think we need to wait for the TV coverage of the race.

This is the read-me file from Fernando Porcel's Mexico City 2002. This track is high quality from Porcel. He also made the fantastic Pau track with the best graphics/jams I've ever seen..

Thanks guys.

Just to let you know, the 2015 Mexican GP will be using a brand new layout, it's being constructed now. It is not, the 2002 CART layout :D although the last section looks similar. There is an image somewhere of the old track with the new layout overlayed. it's basically all different minus the front straight

Yes there are differences : [www.autosport.com]

But imho the overall design is pretty much the same idea. If you look at the new layout you will think - "oh, this is Mexico city track"........

So, if we can't have a new .dat file for the 2015 F1 Mexico track, I think the next best thing to do is to use the 2002 layout and update the track's graphics to F1 standard

Didn't mean to be a downer ;P Whatever we get is just dandy
