Montlhéry Speedway (fictional oval) ***WIP*** upcoming public beta
Posted by Gusgus
I'm currently working on a fictionnal oval track. It's not my first try at track-editing, but recent progress with GP4Builder enable more people to build tracks, thanks to Lo2k.
Here is the full layout :
It's a typical american tri-oval. Some figures for you about it :
- 1.5 mile long (1.503 mile in fact, which equals 2419 meters)
- 24-degree-banked corners, 5 degrees banking in the straights
- 48 feet/ 14.63 meters wide
- One lap in about 23 seconds during qualifying (378.6 km/h average), 22.7 in race thanks to slipstream (383.6 km/h average) with original physics.
- 120 laps/ 180 miles / 289.674 kilometers race with GPxPatch, completed in about 46 minutes.
The graphical part of the track is currently in progress, but already contains the track, pitlane, werges, banks, 3D walls, pitbuilding (with PLUS Compatible garages and pitstands), a scoring tower and a main Grand Stand. There is still a lot of work to do, so please do not ask for news, this is not the best way to make me keep or find the motivation to finish and release it.
Last thing, I spent one hour to find a decent name for it, ending with "Motor Speedway" as in a major part of american ovals, but I couldn't find one satisfying. I'm waiting for your ideas about that.

Lord Of The Rings.. 
Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?
I like the idea of Montlhéry, so it will be Montlhéry Speedway, thanks exqo 
About the pitlane, well, in IndyCar, the cars return to the track following this pitlane on similar 1.5 mile tracks. I will test a shorter configuration, but I'm affraid it will cause big crashes during pit stops, because of the CC Line located at the inside of the track all along the track.

You will have to rename it Or else (hopefully) make the real one (and not the oval, the really long one in this pic:

H E L L O I completely know Montlhéry is not fictional, but as the oval of Montlhéry is no more used in racing, let's consider it as a modern one
By the way, the really long one is impossible to make for GP4 because of the limited lenght of the tracks.

that the pitlane is so long isn't a problem at all with gp4tweaker you can set the km/h higher so you will leave it much faster then 80 km/h !!! Setting it to 140/180 km/h you will have some speed already when you get back to the track
+ that there is a difference in Pitspeed limit's end, and Pit's end..
right?

also but with gp4tweaker you can overrule the speed in the pitlane also if you don't press the scroll lock key
