well, in the past (2008 i guess) i have build some tracks. Let's bring Canberra from TRD3/TDR. I got a huuge help from jimbob since i was a beginner. The results were really far away from what i want, but i see a good response of community when i release it. And this push me to improove that track. And it's still under development, even after a long sleep.
Or Dijon from Pedro (Ripping Corpse). He saw i did the elevation wrong, he learn again some GP4 Builder tricks and restart develop. We still wait, but i guess one day his tracks will see the light.

What's the point of this? Appreciate the effort of each GP4 member. It's better than nothing and could be a start for someone else.

I agree, I just wanted to point out that people might want F1virtual to work on already existing tracks to get even better quality (F1virtual is the best, we have to admit). That's not a lack of appreciation for what's already there, just a wish for something even better, that's all.

Not sure who did the Long Beach 2014 track. The back stretch and side peripherals (ie. stands, overhead bridges, etc) were not finished when it was released and the main stands across from the pits are incorrect (the stands look like the real thing behind the pits and not the large stands across on Shoreline Drive) but otherwise the track drives great. If you guys could coop w/orig author and finish that, that would be really cool. St Petersburg would be a great track to do as would the proposed new Jersey street circuit.

What is Buddh? I have downloaded about every track I could find on here and other sites but haven't come across that one. Link to download would be appreciated.

The only Long Beach i remember was from Nixblicker and was around 2006/7 if i remember well... I remember it cause i was using it meanwhile i was playing the old Champ Car 05 - 06 mod (the lost CSM version).

...And it wasn't very accurate either. (No elevation change, for instance.)

Curious? I have been to the LBGP several times over the years and cannot recall there being much elevation change in the circuit.

Ah, if only we, track builders, would be able to take of elevations with the phrase 'there isn't much elevation'...

Of course, there aren't mega elevation changes anymore (unlike when the track headed up the hill in the 1970s), but there are always subtle ups and downs and at low speed these all very much play a part in how the car behaves in a particular corner. And then still there are the parts that are, or should be, visibly different on a track which handles elevation changes as well - e. g. the short run from T6 to T8, or the steeply banked start/finish straight. (Also, taking a better look at it, the profile of T4 is off as well.)

No, there was a small elevation change, but was too high and in the wrong places. (Pine Avenue)
Track overall wasn't accurate, but was the only version we get.

The Buddh International Circuit held Indian Grand Prix between 2011 and 2013
you can find it here: Buddh International Circuit (India) 2011 v3.1.5 by KTC & Josekast

Add the Belle Isle Indycar track to the list. Thanks

Would like to check out that Indian track but that link causes a major warning to pop up and one of those BS programs that can only be closed by shutting down your browser with Task Manager. Any other links or suggestions on getting to that track?
