Does anyone know any sites where I can find good quality tracks. I am
looking for the new tracks if possible.
Post or e-mail me.
Thanks

I strongly reccommend the Track Manager hompage at
http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Speedway/7479/. This is a great site. You
will not be disappointed. Also Sjon's Grand Prix 2 Homepage at
http://www.volftp.vol.it/GP2/index.html is another excellent site.>
What the *** do you want by calling yourself *HAKENKREUZ*???????? If you
have any racist or nazi ambitions, get the *** out of this ng.

You have to understand that this track-editing has started from ZERO. There is
no support from Microprose, Crammond or anyone else. The author of the
track-editor (Paul Hoad) has been bussy uncovering the fileformat of F1GP tracks
for a very long time, went over to GP2 and has been assisted by a number of
enthusiasts for the past few months. Keeping this in mind, the results are
absolutely incredible!
Real-life scenery is a problem because it is necessary to know the format of
objects. This is being worked on, but it is reported to be rather... difficult
:-)
Nevertheless I have seen quite a few tracks that made good use of existing
objects to create a believable environment. Not 100% authentic, but atmospheric
enough.
Anyway: the editor is still in alfa-stage. Things can only get better in the
future. And with a bit of luck, GP3 track format will be similar so we can
continue to use the editor for it!!!

The track editor homepage is somewhere at:

Yes they do! Have a look at the new "tunnels-track"! That has some real-life
scenery!
Find it at
http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Speedway/7479/trackfrm.htm
It's great!!, tunnels, cliffs, forest and lots of rocks!

Of course, Martijn :-)
But my answer dates from a few weeks ago and for TYPICAL tracks. Don't think
your "tunnels" track is an example of a "typical" track at the moment!! Great
job. It is SO frustrating that people with normal computers have to sacrifice
all the textures to keep it playable at acceptable framerate, though...
Sidenote: when I drive it, I have this feeling that I'm driving in slowmo, even
when the PO only reads 70-80, and even though you didn't seem to experiment with
factors that influence grip and such. Any idea why I have this impression? For
some reason, I think the trees all around the track have an influence.
Keep those genius tracks coming!!!!
