Road America v2.0

Replica of Road America v1.0

v2.0 Major Update

- track length (6.520 m) now only ca. 5 m off original length
- route revised - completely new drawn track: every radius and straight length is now just about original
- track width reduced from 12 to 10 m to capture original width (averagely 9 - 10 m) better
- the elevation changes are now spot on
- the height levels and slopes throughout a lap are virtually correct
- every corner, every braking zone feels just right


Here's an original onboard lap to understand the undulations.




v1.0 Release Notes:

Track length and elements

• 
  
  
  • track length only 75 m off original
  • all element lengths measured in a Google Earth image
  • every radius and straight very close to original

Curbing and Scenery

• 
  
  
  • all original curbs placed plus some extra curbs for better racing
    (entries of T1, T3, T6, T7, T8, T12, T14)
  • stands close to original places
  • woods original where possible
    (e.g. Moraine Sweep, Carousel, Kettle Bottoms)
  • track gates at all the right places to represent real bridges and gates
  • some extra trees, track marshals and tents to create an alive circuit

Elevation

• 
  
  
  • not manageable to create the correct real elevation
    but:
  • close to original elevation in some track parts
    - downhill to T3
    - downhill to T5 (Moraine Sweep)
    - uphill T6
    - uphill T13
  • different from original but fun to drive parts
    - downhill to T1
    - downhill to T9
    - downhill to T12 (Kettle Bottoms)

I'm pretty happy with the result!
This circuit is fast, has some exciting incline and a wonderful scenery.
I hope you enjoy driving this great track.
