Prblanco's Unfinished Tracks

One last work to finish this season. The newly (since last year) updated Yas Marina Circuit, with a lot less corners but still lots of annoying off-camber ones.

This one was also built for use in the Time Trial League, but unforeseen circumstances greatly restricted the amount of time I could dedicate to this one. That means a lot of the fine-tuning I usually do by comparing the track with various real-life footage is missing on this one, so if some sections feel slightly inaccurate, that's probably because they are. Still, I did the best I could in that limited time frame, and even if I'm not as satisfied with the result as I usually am, I believe it's at least a very good starting point.

I also chose to build this version from scratch instead of using my previous WIP (based on the 2009 season) as a base, mostly because there are many changes in many different corners which means editing an existing .dat would be a big headache, and because the previous version was based on drawing plans, not aerial imagery from the built track. There are a few objects copy-pasted from that version however, expect some anachronic textures here and there.

Thanks for your work !

Appreciate all the work you've done and sharing it even in this unfinished state, I'm sure it will still be a lot of fun to drive around.
Thank you Paolo.

I'm looking for aerial imagery of the Miami circuit. Google Earth has imagery from the 2022 GP weekend but it's not in high resolution and nearly half the circuit is covered in clouds.

I also tried Bing and Esri but neither of them have imagery of the finished circuit. If anyone knows of another source which fulfills these requirements I'd be more than grateful.

Other imagery I'm interested for archiving purposes (not linked to any project of mine) are:
- Spa-Francorchamps with the 2004-05 Bus Stop
- Paul Ricard before the coloured runoff areas
- Monza with the pre-2000 first chicane
- Estoril with the pre-1999 fast first corner
