    The 100% is anything related to percentage of wins/podiums/finishes?
    3 in 1 like the lubricant. :)

    yes, but rhamm has beaten you to it
    the final, fairly unnecessary clue is:

    Well, now it's rather obvious isn't it ?
    And the biggest clue of all was in the thread's title.

    I know, right?
    I did make a definite effort to make it look like Watkins or CanAm generally, and then Riverside...
    :D

    A BIG THANKS to all of you for joining in, or just reading. It has been fun for me, and fun for some of you some of the time ;)
    Of course it was guessed as far back as post #102, congratulations to Mike Bennett, but I couldn't stop there :D

    yeah, there should be a bit of time for talk before it's ready

    the short story is I wanted to drive this version of the layout, but I didn't want to make another whole track. Especially such a long track. So I decided to just make the road and a rough version of the verge and then give it to a few people just for fun. I then heard from MonSum from VLM and he offered reference material, and I think at that point I asked him if I could use the '70s VLM assets. The main concept is still to "not make another whole track" so not much will be scratch built (road/terrain/pits are), but most VLM things will get varying degrees of updates to fit in with the scene.

    Are you sure its not Laguna Seca??? I'm pretty confident that I got it .........you haven't looked at the track map upside down or back to front have you, they are similar when you do that......

    almost everything is still wip status, so i don't want to make people have to post and ask why "this isn't right?", or say "that was different in '67", or "is the other thing going to be included?"

    I like those questions because i like detail, but now isn't the time to get critical about screenshots, from my perspective :)

    I've been working on the pits for over a month now, and they're nearly "done", so at that point you might get either a couple of screenshots, or a pre-beta,super-alpha,sub-ready build. who knows

    but, ok, you guys/girls did the puzzles so I guess I owe something as a payoff :)

    Now we need some car modding group to recreate the Ford GT40 to use it here.

    More suitable would be the aforementioned 100% Ford Mk.IV, but a GT40 would be ok. I did speak by PM to a car maker about an Mk.IV, and they said it might be an interesting car to try, but so far I think it's just an idea. The Howston G4 is pretty similar to a Lola T70, so that's ready now.

    I think one really great thing about this layout is the number of amazing cars that raced there from '56 to '67. Just think of them all!! I'm only making the '67 version, but the road layout is accurate back to '56. And I hope A LOT of those sorts of cars get made, please :D
