You’re in Sweden?An older, aging track, with a lot of "character," is about an hour away from me. I've been there several times, sometimes for 24-hour endurance races. I plan to eventually complete a virtual version of it, and several local drivers, clubs that use the track, my team, and other teams are very interested in having it available for training. I spent four hours walking the track once it was closed after a race. I have almost 500 detailed reference photos, and I've started the modeling. Fortunately it's in a coastal plains area, with very few trees. I really want to finish it for AC, but right now, too much "serious" work going on. Hopefully soon I can "relax" and return to it.
Circuit of the Americas, quite a different "experience" as a track altogether is about 2-1/2 hours away. The speed and "Gs" are very hard on tires, brakes, and suspension components. A lot of teams with "lower-end" track cars often experience mechanical failures after a few hours of racing. Fortunately, there's a pretty good version of it for AC. After spending hours driving the virtual track, it's almost like I'm really there. I know the real track like the back of my hand.
