reverse tracks

is it possible to run by taking the reverse track ?
how to do that ?

No no no, not possible.

Well, you just have to turn around the initial sectors of the dat-file for 180 degrees in GP4Builder. Then put the updated dat-file with the normal wad-file of the track back to GP4, that should work.

If you simply mean going in the reverse direction, then you will have to disable Steering Help, but that's not what you want I guess...

That won't work.

If you mean drive it, then do free practice with steering assist off, turn around and drive the track.

If you mean race it, it can be done, see here for Buddh International circuit in reverse: [www.mediafire.com]
But you have to reverse the circuit in GP4 Builder, and then rebuild the kerbs, pitlane and cc-line in order for it to work

Why not? I thought Lo2k took a tool into GP4Builder to make that possible that way?

From the guide:

- Reverse Track (.dat files only) : A wip feature that will reverse every sector. Actualy, track reversed this way are not playable and will most probably crash in game but you can use this feature as a first step if you want to really create a reversed track.

Yeah a first step is better than nothing, come on!

Nothing is impossible. It's just more or less long to achieve. Lo2k@2016

Well, nothing is impossible? Then let's build Nordschleife guys!

I've pondered the opportunity to reverse Indy, make the proper adjustments (like, say, invert the banking values last but not least), and copy the elevation and banking data of the existing, GPS-based Turn 1 of the oval four times along to create an accurate Indy Oval, but it's not a priority at all nowadays. (We have a reasonable Indy Oval already, plus I too have other commitments.)
