Unsure whether to coin the term "the soup ladle", "the big dipper" or "the lawn mower" for this track.

Anybody know what software that sim is running or what it is based on? Is it like a pro version of iracing?

Nice track, makes a good job of hiding the 90deg corners in more variety.

Are they serious when they name races though? America is turning into a parody of itself. :lol:

most manufacturer & constructor sims run on rFactor Pro

rFactor Pro is generally the main option for those parties - as they can build the "mods" to suit them in development & can add in whatever physics changes from either new car parts (or) data from test sessions & races (where applicable - hence why NASCAR OEM's do a decent amount of wheelforce transducer testing with hired drivers like Allgaier, Herring and Ragan)

Those parties (manufacturers and teams) sometimes will work with iRacing on getting track scan data (in the event where the manufacturer/constructor/team can't get scan data themselves or from the track)

The layout reminded me of another track and it's the infamous Beijing A1GP track. This one looks awesome though.

Oh yes, that track was garbage. They couldn't get round the hairpin :lol: :lol:

There was also this Beijing track which was just as bad.

Those transitions over the bridge are just...insane. This track seems dangerous as fuck

I can totally see a car losing it on the bumps, especially if they go off the racing line.

Pretty cool track, the side-by-side part as well as the bridge.
Author:  De Cesaris fan [ Sat Aug 07, 2021 2:44 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: 2021 Big Machine Music City Grand Prix (August 6-8)
It's a fun looking layout. I couldn't believe how bumpy the bridge section looked from the onboards.

Like Baku, it has the potential for a fun, crazy race. Also the potential for a monumental airborne crash, but hopefully we'll avoid that.

Post subject:  Re: 2021 Big Machine Music City Grand Prix (August 6-8)
Yeah track looks fun, but as De Cesaris fan said. I'm not a big fan of long straights which ends in small fast corner just before slower ones. It reminds me of all that airbourne open wheel crashes from Hockenheim T7/T8
