Hi.

I have a small question. I have Mexico City - Hermanos Rodriguez circuit for GP3. At the final right bend, just in front of the start/finish line there is a tiny bump which makes me swerve off the track. I noticed such bumps in other sections of the track as well.

Do these bumps reflect the real-life Hermanos Rodriguez circuit? If not, please send me an updated version of the track. I'm trying to re-create the 1991 F-1 season and the Mexico City circuit that I have is really annoying

Probably. The circuit was notoriously bumpy.
The track is quite bumpy, this is true, but i watched a few videos on YouTube and ther is not those bumps (really too high, quite impossible to stay in the correct line, very easy to fly out of the track).
I solved the problem via track editor changing to zero the value "high" in the right-top of the mask when you clic on a track sector of the track data menu (in sector 96 and 97; 66 and 67; 86 and 87).
Anyway, i have just sent to you my updated version.
Let me know.

Senna and Alliot both had massive crashes at that final corner having lost control on the bumps.

Thank you Claudio :) Luckily, I managed to grab a copy of 1991 F-1 trackpack, then converted the track from HW to SW (as I have to use GP3 in SW with my PC) and there are no bumps now.

Your track must have got stuck somewhere in the cyberspace as I did not receive any e-mail from you

Yeah. I saw it on YouTube and I must say that it was EXACTLY what happened to me while using the previous version of Hermanos Rodriguez circuit.



Good news.
About the bump, the problem is that the bump is too hard: i mean, human driver has a lot of problems in that sector with the bump, personally i hit the ground very hardly, and loose a lot of speed, quite impossible to stay close to the CC in that corner, and very difficoult to keep the correct driving line; CC have not any problem, so if you want to compete you have to delete (or reduce, if you want the track closer to real life) it.

Now I'm using the revised version of it and have no problems keeping the correct line. What I didn't like was the fact that my car is always set up to create a tendency to oversteering. Losing contact with the tarmac caused a lot of troubles to me...but it's a bygone. Now the issue is solved
Thanks again Claudio :)

I love the track, it is so flowing and notoriously difficult to keep up especially with the bumps.

It proves of a challenge for me.
