Is anyone here currently working on a version of the banked Monza track for
GPL.
I know there's been a lot of interest in it lately and was wondering if
anyone has taken on the challenge?

Cheers,
...Colin

Nobody has, in fact nobody has ever even thought about it. It's really easy
though, should happen in 15 minutes once somebody bothers to type the six lines
of text to make it happen.

I'm still waiting for somebody to realize this.

What an incredible waste of time THAT would be...  I mean, who wants to drive
on a 10 mile(or whatever) track?

Cool the banked monza discussion again...
With me too lazy to type it again, I'd like to refer to www.deja.com and
search for "banked monza" posts.

At the GPL LAN party I had an interesting chat with Martijn (from
Solitude) about this, and with someone else who is currently working
on a banked Monza. It turns out to be not that simple.
Is seems GPL has a problem at the point where you have to switch side,
ie going straight on to the CG or entering the Parabolica.

huh?  When you enter Curva Grande you are heading basically at 180d and
Parabolica's entrance is heading 0d.  I'm guessing you mean CG/T1 of oval?
Or am I off on this (inside joke I don't know about? :-).
If that's what you meant it seems pretty simple....a nice wall blocking any
side switching; which would be wrong to even attempt to allow since in real
life they never switched sides they did a road course lap (staying to the
left at s/f) and then stayed to the right as they went to the oval.

Again, I don't quite understand what you meant, but it's not that hard
IMO...especially if it's done by hand.
