    Some of you may remember this track from rFactor. I have been in contact with the original creator HarySeb and he has given me permission to convert this track over to rFactor2. I have been working on this track for a while now and used it as a guinea pig and testing ground for Oran Park. With the release of gJED I thought I'd have a play with it and start to finish the track off in gJED. I hope to have something for you to try soon.

    About the track

    Although unique is a much over-used word in racing, it can rightly be referred to Magnificent Park. Not only is the french circuit the only one that crosses over itself, but this fact means that it is also a circuit that runs both clockwise and anti-clockwise. The paddock host to a huge 360-degree staging and a futuristic complex built on a natural setting.
    Designed as a test track for the Saab Motor Company in 1989 by frenchman Sebastien Hary, it was mainly used for vehicle development. After hosting numerous races in lower formula, Magnificent Park began its quest to host the second french 24h endurance happening, a feat it managed in 2006, when it took the honour away from Le Mans. Although the grand prix returned to Le Mans for 2007 and
    2008 the race is now confirmed to take place at Le Mans till 2010. By 2011 Le Mans and Magnificent Park will be host the two french races for LMS championship.
    An extremely fast and technical circuit, Magnificent Park is popular with drivers and spectators alike and has some notorious corners including Green Saints, Helter Skelter and The Edge. The circuit closed for a year in 2009 in order to make revisions necessary for LMS, it re-opened on December 6, 2010 for his first race date on December 13, 2010.

    With another major make over the track re-opened mid September 2015

    Here's what I have so far and the track features include
    3 layouts
    Nightlighting
    realroad
    Billboard trees and bushes
    New terrain shader
    Heaps of animated objects
    some 3d tree


    Hope you enjoy

    It isnt the only track that crosses over itself. Suzuka does.

    I was looking at some old rF1 videos on youtube of this track and was amazed to find this video with another extension. I have only had 2 layouts but this is another piece of track altogether. If anyone has this layout and can give a link to this version for rF1 please pm me. I would love to include it.

    It will be if I get my hands on a link. If anyone can get me a link to this layout I'll add it into the track.

    For the record I used v1 the version on rfc. Funnily enough they have the video above as the promo video for the track but that layout is not included. I think the layout is called "THRILL" but not sure.

    Wow, don't know the extension. Looks fab. Long fast sweeping curves. I only have the same version as you, so really hoping someone has a link for you.
