UPDATE

First I`ll explain how i made the track.

step1: started in google earth,found morgan park raceway.Made a new path:mapped the track about every metre or close to it,which took me hours,that gave me the gps data minus the height data

step2:So to get the height data I transfered the kml file to gpx ,which I use GPS Visualizer.

step3:After I have the file in gpx format,I use 3D route builder to give me the height and bumps data.I save it as a kml file,then I upload it into BTB and go from there.

So to answer a couple of comments I got from ppl testing the track.

The track has not got the extension to it as it`s not complete and not on google earth.I didn`t want to guess as I`m tring to make it to exact.For the track being narrow thats easy fix sort of .

I have uploaded the latest WIP in downloads to get feed back before i do more.,

Just rember this a WIP and hasn`t got pit garages atm.please don`t release this track outside this league.

One more thing, does anyone kno how to use 3dsimed or 3dmax to make objects as I`m having trouble getting objects into a xpack or BTB.

cheers

That sure is one bumpy track! I don't think I'd use it for F1, but it"ll be lots of fun in club racing type cars, minis, etc.

I was having so much fun, I didn't really pay enough attention to give you a lot of good feedback. I'll try again later today, take some notes, and give you something usable tomorrow.

Can't wait for the final version. Thanks for the work.

Despite being a club track, it hosts races every weekend of the year. During the National Historic Events we've seen big old beasties burning the place up. Cars like the monster Group C V8's, Sports Sedans, 60's Brabham F1's and even Le Mans racers from the 80's have all given great joy as they loudly eat the track for breakfast.


I'm really looking forward to the new extensions coming into service this year which is increasing track length to about 3.5 kilometres. Should be awesome racing with the work oging into the facility.
