What WILL you make with a GPS enabled or very detailed track editor?

Pikes Peak, High Plains Raceway, and Lookout Mountain Road would be the first ones I'd try (not in that order). Also, I threw this circuit together in a few minutes, it runs through City Park, right next to the zoo and the Museum of Nature and Science. Many childhood memories of both! Plus I think it makes a pretty nice circuit.

P.S it's 2.2 miles long w/ 15 corners

That looks pretty awesome. It kind of reminds me of the Grand Prix street circuit in Singapore

Thanks! It does look kinda similar, doesn't it? Problem is, it's going to be a lot more rough due to not being paved in quite a long time. Adds some more challenge, though. I really wanted to make a kart track through the zoo, but I don't think the city or the animals would be very happy about it... :)
 
@LXM3500 you could always walk it with the app running on your phone. You'd probably get more accuracy that way too.

Man I hope we get this soon.

Oh yeah, that would be great! Only problem is there is a seemingly endless horde of unattended children and/or ignorant parents everywhere in that zoo, and I'd have to walk around them, I wonder if that would mess it up. Then again, I could always rent a golf cart. :lol:
 
I'm lookin forward to mapping out some of my running routes; that would add a few more 8+ mile twisty tracks to the game
 
I think a short track is in order. Here's me walking a 1/3 mile track in Asheville, NC:

 
I have some cool country roads near where I live I'll have to make a video hear soon

You mean this?:

Nothing to complain about there, but it's a little like just racing from hairpin to hairpin. I think I'd prefer the flow of the Targa Florio, but a combination of the two would be great!!

This road is so close to me (less than 100 miles away) and it is actually considered the second best and also second highest. See "Transalpina" below (starting 9:58):


Or try this dash cam drive:

PS: My town is placed just in between the two roads, both are around 100 kilometers away from me.

West Virginia has some STEEP hills!

Yes we do!!! The part I live in not necessarily but snowshoe would be a nice place to do a course with ultra steep hills.

Wow there's an awful lot of rocks and debris on the side of that road
 
This was an weekend ride and the road was and still is not completed and there is still work done on it, like adding side-rails and water ditches but sometimes is a lot of debris from the mountain alone.
It's pretty hard to drive as you have to be focused of debris and keep in mind that there are no side-rails yet and you have sometimes one mile slope two meters away from you. Hard to be focused as the view steals your attention...
 
I will recreate the path to my girldriend's house, to improve my racing line and get better times overall.
hoping to improve my chronic disease of being late.

In any case, I think you can only be faster by 10 seconds at most. Plus there are factors outside of your control such as traffic and weather that might make you late. But it's a noble cause nevertheless.
 
I want the ability to make tracks with a GPS and very detailed track editor.

I'll make an course of where I live. I'll send a picture later...
 
Here's my first track which I'll do in GT6:

A box. Wonderful.

Thanks but it isn't a box. I couldn't put the location very closer because otherwise the picture's quality wouldn't go right.
 
Yeah I'm a bit confused as to what's special about that. Is there a lot of elevation change or something?
 
Everyone has it's favorite places, which represent something... a piece of their life. That cannot be judged, even if it's subjective...
 
I'm not judging. I drove around and around on some dirt roads similar to that frequently. The long sweeper's like that are a good way to learn how to slide a low powered fwd. 90 degree turns are great for e-brake turns. The reason I was wondering is because he says there would be more detail if we could zoom in...

Is this the road around Osama Bin Laden's compound?

Anyways ... still no Course Editor huh? I keep checking back every 6 months or so to see if there is a reason for me to turn on my PS3. Guess not. Back to iRacing then I guess. Come on Kaz!!!
