GPL - Solitude release?

It was really frustrating on VROC last night. People were racing Solitude in a Beta test! And when it comes out, all us non-beta testers will be at a severe disadvantage:-) Come on, Martijn ( �artijn? ), put us out of our misery! - Michael

I had thought of asking Martijn to comment on the current state of the track, but then I thought wouldn't it be better if he could just work on the track and not have to answer questions on when, where, why, how. So I did not. I am still wondering about its release and Goodwood, but then again I am still slow at the 50 some other GPL tracks that are out. So what is the point?

Were they racing, or just driving round saying "which bit are we at now?". According to contemporary reports the circuit was more difficult to learn than the Nurburgring.

no problem, this doesnt take much time :-) Im currently a bit busy so havent been working on it much the last few days; but from tommorrow on I'll be able to spent my usual 16hr day on it; depending on some other stuff a bit further from my influence, (AI mainly) it should be ready quite soon (that is, less than a week from now). And the track sure as hell looks a lot better now than the last time I said that!! thanks for the interest Martijn btw. the beta test is not meant to piss off people (although it usually does) but provides a lot of useful feedback to improve the track. Thanks for your understanding. ----------

It is a fun track, no doubt about it, but it's not as difficult to learn as The Ring!! ::)) Thank God for that!
