I'm very passionate about the stuff about my country showed. Most of us feel the same I think. So, I want to give you the story of this and asking you people for a favor.
This track is build by a guy back when the mods made only for Midtown Madness & CS era... very very early 2000s I mean. As you knew, Istanbul Park isn't a genuine mod. It's basically a import from 2010-2011 F1 Game or Racedriver:GRID perhaps... actually both use same model. He did this before RTB, just using Blender just for develop his skills for college ed. Now he's an Interior Architect.
The project of this track went south in our forum due to an arguement. And since this project stays the same (0.2beta) until I found the him on social media for months of seeking.
About the general idea of the mods is, there's only 3 racetracks in Turkey. I shared this on here before. One of them known well by you all: Istanbul Park. But the Korfez is the first and most memorable place of ours. If you get a licence, you'll go there to have fun or just
battling on highways until 5-0 come.
İstanbul Park: Already has, just needs to updated. I beileve, me, Blackcelica, DaBaeda, pyyer, ACU people and of course the original importers of the track made it well enough.
Korfez: This is the far as I can made for now. Yes, I talked the man himself and there might be an updated version of this but he left those modding since the arguement. So, I'm hoping for you guys to takeover this where he left off.
and
Ülkü Park: This track is in Izmir. Never modelled before. I thought it was but it wasn't. I'm working on it for finding people who can made it. And with your help, I (we) can finalise it.
The point of that, me pushing this time to time, is these are the only tracks we have and the formal instutions are basically ignores this fact that SimRacing doesn't mean much. But that idea will change as soon as likes of Cem Bolukbasi shows, if there's a training ground, it would bring more real-world drivers from SimRacing.
The Turkish Touring Car Series (a.k.a. TPS) is held on these 3 tracks. My dream is to make an e-TPS, based on SimRacing for tightens the community and creators and authorities that this could be done with very little nudge to get huge success.
I do what I can according my skills to make it happen. None of my post are all mine, and I mentioned it and add all the credits as far as I can find. The community is there for these in my opinion. Connect, share, help and such...
Could it be a business model (like paying to people for making tracks), it could. Actually it's a way of some went. I'm okay with it. But, if that's the way I need to go then who you suggest? It's an official offer from me (not the owner of the tracks) so I can't see the future of this work's legality.
I poured my thought on here... and it felt good about being honest and sharing my thoughts. I'll do what I can do still, but there are some things that I can't do at all or better than you. So, I'm asking a favor for it.
