[WIP] ZANDVOORT 1967 +++ Grandstand finished, see page 11 +++
Posted by Turbo Lover
Finally got a chance to drive it. VERY GOOD! The elevation changes along with the twists and turns make this track a blast to drive. The pit garages and scoring stand on the front straight are very nicely done. This version is a heads and shoulders improvement over the last public beta.
Keep up the great work!

Very nice
Try adding some 'dirt' to your track side logos and that'll add to the effect

Yep, the most classic tracks are steep banked and narrow like Zandvoort, because they were build in a natural environment, makin' it real driver circuits.
In '72 Zandvoort lost the GP, because the track was too outdated. In '73 they modernized the track (hosting the Dutch GP once again) with run offs, armco barriers and the fast right-left combination, called 'Bos In', was replaced by a very slow right-left combination, called 'Panorama Bocht'.
In '79 there was a temporarily chicane installed just after the left turn of the fast left-right combination called 'Hondenvlak'. In '80 it was replaced by a permanent very slow left-right chicane, called 'Marlboro Bocht'.
Sadly Zandvoort lost his GP after '85 due money issues and new safety standards for F1 circuits. And as an outcame of that, the circuit sold the half of it's ground in '89, to make way for holiday houses. Turns like 'Hondenvlak'/'Marlboro Bocht', 'Tunnel Oost', 'Bos In'/'Panorama Bocht' and 'Bos Uit' are lost forever. Luckily Zandvoort still has the famous corners 'Tarzan' and 'Scheivlak'.

Last bunch of pictures are really great, cars and track...
I think that curve ground adverts are lacking shadows but that's a good job anyhow

You're right about the missing shadows of the ground ads Laurent, but i'm already working on it.
At the moment i spent most of the time with modeling the dunes around the track and adding details to it.
Anyway, thanks for all the nice words guys, this track will surely be amazing when released.

After a half year of no updates regarding Zandvoort '67 i have some news. I decided to rebuild the main grandstand, the pitbuilding and also the land around the track, this is the status of the land so far:
Expect more updates soon.
