Anderstorp for GPL released

Hi everyone, After working on the GPL-version of the Anderstorp track for a long time we finally think it is ready for release. The track hosted Formula One World Championship races from 1973-1978. Anderstorp has the feel of an airfield circuit, is relatively flat and has wide open grassy runoff zones. It is a tight and twisty circuit but includes a 30m wide and 1km long straight which is also used as a runway. For a road circuit several of its corners are very banked. One peculiar thing about the track is that the Start/Finish line is not located near the pits. For more information and download links: http://www.nornemark.com/anderstorp Enjoy the racing here! :) Martin, Jonas and Fredrik

Cool. Thanks Martin, getting it now. Lots of good historical info on your site as well. :-) Martin Granberg wrote:

Excellent news! Thank you, Martin, all all those involved in the project. Now, could you ALL pool your collective talents and produce Mount Panorama (Bathurst) please? :-) -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Martin Granberg <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Hi everyone, > > After working on the GPL-version of the Anderstorp track for a long > time we finally think it is ready for release.

Hell, I knew I'll buy N4, but I actually forgot this, most important, reason why to buy it (I prefer road tracks even with NASCAR cars). -- l8er ronny Your mouse has moved.

Good Question. Actually, Bathurst is a Track in Austrailia, at a place called Mt. Panorama. They anually hold a 1000k race there for Touring cars. For several years, the big BTCC teams would also attend a Super Touring event there as well. Magnificent course. A long straight sets you up for a sudden right hand turn, you immeadately begin climbing up the side of a mountain, the first left hander is a very tight switchback then you blast onto the top of the mountain, a short couple of sweepers takes you to a very TIGHT plunge back down. At the bottom, another long straight with a couple of near-ninety degree turns brings you back to the pit straight. And yes it has been re-created VERY well for SCGT and hopefully soon for F1CS2k. I am pretty sure the file format differnces between Papyrus tracks and the 'other' companies that use 3d modeling programs will make a conversion difficult. However...Marc over at 'The Sim Project' is attempting to convert some of the old Indycar Racing 2 road courses over to the SCGT file format...if he is sucessful, then a project to reverse engineer the SCGT tracks into a Papyrus format 'might' be possible. dave henrie

Philistine!!! Bathurst is still one the best and most exciting circuits in the world and it's based at Mt Panorama in Australia. If we won't have it for GPL then it'll be a must for WSC. Andrew Ville V Sinkko <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:94uh3c$ku7$[email hidden]...

If you want more info on Mt Panorama (Bathurst) have a look on this site: http://www.v8supercars.com.au There is plenty of info on Bathurst there, along with detailed track information and links to the official site. I have yet to see a track in the world that is the equal of Bathurst and it would make a brilliant addition to GPL. Cheers, Ron

ROTFLOL Yep. It's an oval with all left and right turns :-) MS Ville V Sinkko <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:94uh3c$ku7$[email hidden]...

In article <[email hidden]>, [email hidden] says... > Now, could you ALL pool your collective talents and produce Mount Panorama > (Bathurst) please? :-) We used to get the "Great Race" here in the UK, I used to look forward to it every year, but it hasn't been on for a few years now. I might have to import a video. Is it still a big event in Oz motorsport? Great article in this month's (Feb) Motorsport magazine about Bathurst through the years, some nice period pictures combined with up-to-date shots of the same corners. It would be a great GPL circuit! - Michael

(a) NATCC announces end of series (b) I head to the NATCC site to sign a petition to try and revive the series (c) While there, I see a notice about a Touring car patch for Nascar2. (d) get the patch...TPTCC ...join the league, learn about touring cars (e) Speedvison begins showing BTCC & ATCC events. During the offseason they show this BIG race with combined works teams from both series. (f) Dave is now hooked and a confirmed Super Touring Fan (g) Super Touring collapses world wide under the huge costs associated with developing and racing the cars (h) Austrailia becomes a haven for 'left over' Super Touring cars. Bathurst continues but as a V8 race only. (i) SCGT private track builders release the Bathurst track. (j) Iwwccars promises lots of super tourers to race with the SCGT Bathurst, but only a few materialize. (l) STCC2 gets 'most' of the feel of Super Touring right, and they have the only comercial release of a former NATCC Dodge Stratus Super Tourer left racing.(one in Sweeden, one in South America, one in Eastern Europe) (m) TPTCC2000 continues the tradition of patching the Papyrus Nascar products..currently N3 is the base as well as NL being used for a 70's Trans Am patch. (n) All would be well in the sim world now...except that during all this...during all this time...from way back in the mid 90's...Nobody, not NOBODY has produced a new CART Racing product.(deliberately ignoring CPR) dave henrie
