Elevation study: random ridge in California


I like the feeling I get between Bergwerk and Kesselchen on the 'Ring, so I thought about trying to create a new "between two ridges where the water eroded a mountain away" type thing. Certainly, the Rockies were the best place to look, but the Albertan Rockies offer too much extremity... This is a tamed-down version of the Nürburgring's 300 ft. (?) of elevation change, using only 100 ish feet.

🤬 you 🤬 ... 89 years of racing heritage and you dare change it? :lol:

I only moved the start line because I was being stupid and forgot to start it from the right place... Sorry Mr... Melancholy... :nervous:

As if that sort of thing really mattered, it's not actually the start line shown on the gmap pedometer, the start line would stay where it is.

Two tracks I created near where I live using a local website called NearMap (it doesn't let you link like Gmap)

1. This goes around my home town. Unfortunately the town centre section is characterised by a lot of 90-degree turns, but I needed to lengthen the track a bit. But the back section has some very good elevation change in it. I should mention it starts on the long straight and goes in anti-clockwise direction.




2. The second racetrack starts at the shopping centre and goes around in a clockwise direction. The track slowly climes until Turn 8 where is has a nice drop in elevation. Great vantage points of the main straight due to the slope of the city centre

:scared: Why must you insist on revisiting the classics? It's almost impossible to redesign classic racetracks...


Seriously, though, I remember when I tried to revisit the Nürburgring. Yes, I think I did a good job of making it EVEN MORE PSYCHOTIC than it was before, but, I only added to it, I didn't take a section of the track out. I kept thinking "Oh, awwwww, but I like that section. Fine, I have to sacrifice my original design idea to incorporate this section of the original track. What I see you people doing is changing the entire tracks with the removal of a section.



Now, it'd be cool if someone redesigned some GT5 original tracks. Opera Paris? George V Paris? Seattle? New York? Actually, I'll run something through New York, once I find Times Square and get my bearings.
