fantastic work
Fantastic! Tried this in a Single Player Race, 3 laps against Professional AI. 6:30am start time was a bit too dark for the Peugeot 206 Turbo 16 Evo 2. Sports Soft tyres and a 550pp gravel setup.

It's a tarmac track but is the layout from the GT4(?) rally of the same name? It's a delight to drive. Some very long corners mean patient throttle control is required. The deep canyon setting shows off the potential of modified tracks. The textures become very low res but in a way that helps the steep cliffs feel more rocky and textured. More like GT6 Eiger than the curiously manicured Cathedral Rocks from GT4(?).

Generous run-off zones are then blocked by barriers pinching back into the track. This provides a friendly safety net to learn the tracks whilst still requiring drivers to actually use the track. ;) A nice balance but maybe could be neatened in a couple of places?

Four wheel drive does seem an advantage, as I beat all comers aside from the powerful BMW McLaren F1 GTR Race Car 1997. Left a Honda HSV behind after a closely contested 2nd lap. Great fun with a light, medium-fast rally car like this on Sports Soft.

Lots of track side scenery blends the smooth track into the extreme landscape. That makes it look quite quite natural. Elevation changes are nicely smoothed. Camber is subtle. It feels a bit like a well engineered road in the Alps, driven in Summer. A perfect setting for all sorts of historic vehicles.
