+1

I think as this is a community forum then if enough people want it, then it should be included.

OKAY T10, you've done it again. Laser scanned???? Or maybe they missed a spot.

Drive Road America with the chicane between the carousal and the sweeper, notice how the chicane seems like an old country road that has fallen into disrepair, not unlike FM1-4.
Road America yes? GetPhoto

Watch Road America, 2013. Chicane features ripple strips, decent width, appears to be smooth and in good usable condition. Fast forward about 2 minutes to see the beautiful chicane in all its real life non laser scanned glory.


Anyway, yay Road America is back. And the rest of the full circuit is superb.

Semp do you mean 2:44 ish? I'm not too worried if its just the ripple strips missing, they may have simply done this to discourage the 'choppers'.


+1 for inclusion in v8 series please! Thanks for the freebie Turn 10!

Yep 2:44 is exactly when you see it. Its not just the strips missing, its hardly a piece of race track. I was really looking forward to it so im a lil peeved off.

Just did a couple laps around the full track n didn't notice any ripple strips missing.. Pretty decent though. Not quite as much detail as the other tracks in general.

Main track is ok.

All the alternates. Shit house. Ripple strips across the middle of the track, massive Frig tombstone in the middle of the alternate section makes you nearly flip as you go on, and it has no grip or camber so you have to teeter around at 50km/h

You'll need to run the Full circuit-Alt to see what I mean. The regular full circuit is great as usual.

To be fair the alternates do have some merit to them, as Semper was saying the braking zone after the first corner through that medium left-hander feels great, it's just the 'car park' that you have to drive through in the next part which is kind of awful. Atleast the curb allows for some interesting wheelspin.
