Howdy ho, Jesse,
The layout of the track itself, I am very confident on ... worked from aerial
photos and track marshal's maps printed by DIS, all from the late 60's to early
70's, as well as extensive track measurements made available at DIS's official
website ...
The entry onto the road course LOOKS rather different from reality due to the
difficulties in GPL of creating a straight road [the pit lane] alongside a
curved road ... Papyrus solves this prob and a few others by creating a HUGE
3do that models the entire corner [especially at Monaco] ... but that's a bit
beyond my capabilities.
Also, the layout of the road course has changed several times ... the current
Turns 1 and 2 are substantially different from 1967 ... and photos from recent
races make T7 [the re-entry to the oval] look both more "square" and more highly
banked than indicated on the 1967 track map ... I know photos can deceive, but
perhaps historical differences account for the discrepencies you note.
Beta testers with experience at Daytona?? I'm lucky that Gianni ***bath, my
main betatester, needs me to stay alive to provide him a "safe house" in the
Federal Witness Program!
