So far Donington would get my vote. Absolutely beautiful.

   Most of the new tracks in GTR are from the SBK 2001 Superbike sim.  A
great looker with poor multiplay and a severe problem where my bike kept
falling down for NO REASON whatsoever.   Honest.....

It's my favourite... just as I remember it.  I spent so many hours there
playing TOCA trying to master the "long" portion that's added to the short
track.  For some reason I have trouble with that part.

The Melbourne loop you mean?

It's a great spectator point on the track - especially on the exit of the
hairpin

I wish they'd used the SBK2001 Monza instead of the F12002 Monza. Those
SBK2001 tracks look stunning.

could someone post some incar shots from just before hollywood, over the
crest and down through the craners into the old hairpin?

is it flat out in most of these cars?

No, I don't think so. Fast though.

As a matter of fact I find the SBK2001 tracks conversions(Brands,
Donington, Sugo?, Oschersleben?, Laguna et.c) overall lacking in
accuracy.

Donington's Craner curves have much more elevation changes built in,
I'd think. Where you come down from Hollywood and start turning left
there's a depression I think. And a depression exiting the left
hander. The hump under Dunlop bridge is also missing.

At Brands I certainly don't think the Dingle Dell chicane can be taken
in one line(!)(flat out in 6th in the F1's no less). The bikes IRL at
least have to raise in the middle of it.

Moreover, they ALL seems to lack ANY visible camber, most detrimental
to Brands and Laguna, where there's some very interestingly cambered
corners IRL, IMHO.
