That is what Lime Rock Park is. A conversion and then rebuilding of the track that was originally released by RSR in the WGTS mod for F1c.

*sigh* there's no link to it because it's NOT OUT YET!
If you want to keep up with tracks, mods, and cars under development for rFactor, go here: http://www.paddedwall.org/rTCDD I put the site together so that mod makers can make others aware of what's being built, and for end users (like me) to keep up to date. Last time I checked, there were three completed tracks, 17 tracks under constructions, and two mods under construction. I personally know of at least 4 other mods that are in deveklopment, but the builds haven't listed them on the site yet. Many people are awaiting the promised track tools before they start building.
The two came so soon... Where the new real tracks are still waiting? Are there some problems in creating them? I just cannot wait... ;-) Arto --

Those things look great to drive (saw them on TV)... pushing so much in the corners. Still, nobody has a clue of the quality of the dirt/grass physics of rFactor. It's surely not near RBR, but that's speculative.

Now be fair - we all know that Mr Kaemer has had his heart set on doing a lawnmower sim for years. He had to pay for the licensing too you know! And just imagine the heartbreak if someone beat him to the punch! :) And as you say, not to mention the huge dint it would have put in their future products (I heard a whisper they're due for release around 2234AD).

Shows how much you guys know, it was really a public liability issue: Had the unlicensed lawnmower NR mod been released, it's inevitable success would have been picked up by news media world wide (much like the GTA have-sex-with-who-you-run-over mod), and the resulting press frenzy would have produced an unprecedented increase in world wide real life lawnmower racing. 1st's legal team knew how dangerous lawnmower racing really is to the untrained novice (first you have to take the blade off you know), so when little Jimmy lost his fingers in heat 1 of his regional championship 1st saw that the litigation chain would have taken Jimmy's lawyers directly to them. So sadly, as much as they're on the side of the sim racing community they had to nip this one in the bud for there own long term survival, you know the old saying, "live by the lawsuit, die by the lawsuit"..

Just convert the f1 tracks and let people have them! If they aren't up to your standards you sure don't have to download them but let us make up our own minds if we want to use the converted tracks or not!

Agree 100%. The sites keeping track of this stuff should put these tracks up and simply have them tagged as "Converted" and probably a few comments with reguard to start lights and any other ommisions. "Milo Johnson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
