This is a big long old track set on the border of Cadiz and Malaga in the Andalucia. The track circles a man made reservoir Embalse de Zahara - El Gastor. None of it is real... yet - But the surroundings and fundamental elevations are good. But lets say it was just like this in real life...
The start of the lap actually rests on the top of the Dam that holds back the fresh water of the lake and is the lowest point of the track.
Numbers -
Miles and Yards - Distance from the startline in Miles and Yards
A Mile is about 1.6 kilometers - and there are 1760 yards in a Mile - a Yard is 36 inches... a Metre is 39 and a smidge inches.
Just as an aside their are 8 furlongs ina Mile.. each furlong is 220 yards (In case you watch a horse race in Englandistan)
Green Number XX indicates it is an unmarked corner
Direction+Curvature (GSX Speed)
(*) - CURVATURE not radius - this number is how LONG the corner lasts, not how tight it is
So Turn 1 is 160 yards from the start line, It is marked by a pair of Green "1" signs on each side of the track.
It turns to the Right and Lasts 30° (30° is the same direction change as a The Minute hand on clock moving from on the hour to 5 minutes past) - GSX Speed - This is the cornering speed of a GSX (Tuned to 500PP Driven by a Hot lapper from Kagoshima) - Localised corner names and driving notes.

Sorry for the lack of editing - I will add more next time I interface with the interweb.
I plan to add Corner Radii (Just how tight the corner is) next.
Please comment to Help unlock the secrets of the track - I know of a couple of corners where Invisible Glass barriers jut into the track over Rumble strips - I don't use curb stones to GTP levels of Cutting. But if you know of a point where the track leaps out at you, let us all know.
There are at least 2 places where you can hit invisible wall that is on the rumble.
First one that got me too many times is right hander after the green 14 markers and the 2nd is left hander after green 28 markers.
Also obvious typos and errors -
As Rufus says - They do get better.
The start of the lap actually rests on the top of the Dam that holds back the fresh water of the lake and is the lowest point of the track.
