It's too demanding to work as an online Club time trial. Can anything be done about that?

It's a great 1:1 replica to run Single Race offline. Driving Line recommended, like the information a co-driver would give you.

Since I got the rare experience of driving up and down the mountain last year. I'll say this is a pretty good replica. Even though Eifle has similar decorations. I feel you could get all 19.1 miles of the hill climb, starting from Highway 24 and Fountain Avenue to the top of the peak if you used Andalusia. Add a restaurant at Glen Cove and you'll have the perfect version of Pikes Peak.
Well, until the crew at GT decide to get the enthusiasm to add a real version in the next game.

Thank you.
Unfortunately, Pikes Peak does not fit in Andalusia Canvas (too long).
I am missing rock banks in the last third part of the track (what is really the landscape). It would have been better if we could use all the deco on all canvas.
The restaurant is also part of Andalusia as you said.

Absolutely brilliant! This is the best version on gt planet by a long way, my only criticism is that there are too many trees towards the top and not enough spectators along the track sides. The route itself is fantastic,as is the width and elevation. I just wonder if you could vary the track decoration a little? I am unfamiliar with the editing software you have used so please forgive my ignorance if this is not possible.
