    No better time for a release! Just saying... :p

    Seriously, I'm only kidding. Hope you're enjoying your work on this track, McNolo.

    As a fill in for this track (until this one is released) Race Department held an endurance race a week or so ago and gave download links for their version. You can find the blog, announcement of required downloads (cars and track).
    Just sayin'

    I'm sorry guys, the track still not ready. I would like to have it finished for this event, but it has not been possible.

    Now I'm working in the wet reflections and it's a complicated and slow work.

    Regards.

    No problem McNolo, we will still be here when you have time to finish.

    I really appreciate all the work you are putting into this track - but allow me one (and not meant to be sarcastic) comment: Is it really a good idea to spend a lot of time on wet road surfaces for a track where rain is the really rare excemption?

    I had thought about how much time was being put into wet reflections for a desert circuit

    But fair play for completeness, and perhaps the wet reflection settings will pay dividends when doing heat haze and stuff

    If I had the intention of doing a bad job or unfinished, long time ago I would have published the circuit, but that is not my intention.

    Looking good! This is one of my favourite F1 tracks (even if its Tilke's design...).

    Can anyone remember, if there is ever been wet race in Bahrain..? :)

    Cheers!

    looks really good, is there a performance hit with the reflections? is it large?! lol

    ISI tracks suffer quite a big FPS hit when its wet and road reflections are on, i'm wondering if this is just the game engine or if you can make it more efficient?

    This is going to top ISIs Silverstone if you keep going like that.

    Well, I think it is normal to have lower performance with reflections and I guess that it also depends on the amount of reflected objects too. Maybe this question should be answered by any ISI member.

    Regards.

    Not sure if it's too early yet to tell, but is there an ISI track where you can compare performance with this one? I.e. are we looking at Monaco, Silverstone or better performance?
