    From Steam: version 0.20 beta
    So this can explain this feeling, it's not a final release. So just need to wait an update, not a big deal for a free content.

    From this comment your opinion could be based on a screen shot hence the question .

    Zand looks very beta and does not run well (fps) for me so giving this part of the comp a miss,
    track surface is dead

    -thanks for free track though but I'd really like to pay for laser scanned tracks
    and I'm happy to wait until finished version (for decent quality) before release

    I don't understand then what's the point of releasing a WIP version... and if the reason is to use it in that McLaren event, then even less.

    I think it's the reason, the McLaren event leads to get this anticipated release I suppose.

    I'll try to... going camping next Thursday for a few days before the solar eclipse causes the Oregon highways to become clogged and camping sites overrun.

    You probably have more company than you realize as so many didn't even participate. You are a winner in my eyes for taking the time to expose your driving!

    @Christopher Elliott - McLaren's site points to Studio 397 when clicking for more details... it sure would be nice to have a link to the Round 1 race broadcast on Sunday or clarify whether there will be a broadcast.

    "again"? r1 was only 1 second faster, and it's Silverstone.. hard to know how fast they could go IRL in a real good day, something you can do in the game whenever you want
    Tho IMO the car should not be faster than this, hopefully this tire will be changed and it is the grip of the soft one and the others will have less

    The difference might as well be down to inaccuracies in the circuit, we don't know what survey method was used to create Zandvoort or what data they used. The Silverstone time was pretty spot on, considering that it took several days before sim racers reached low 1:57's and the realroad was rather heavy.

    Would it surprise you to learn that iRacing Zandvoort with GT3 cars is 4 seconds faster than real life?

    Zandvoort hotlaps begin with less participation. Seems only natural those not in the top 20% from the first round are less likely to enter.

    Median lap time is 1:38.36 for 205 entrants .
    • From 1:37 to 1:39, there are 53 people (25.9% of total).
    • To be in the top 10% of total entrants, with this few entries, you will be in the top 20.
    • Hot on the heels of the top 20 are another 43 people (21.0% of total) strongly skewing the median.
    • 3 people are in the 1:34s (1.5% of total).
    • Top 20 are 1:34.73 to 1:35.73, a nice wide 1 second gap.

    I couldn't get anywhere near the edge of the green area without being called for track cut.

    Yeah I think track rubber effects in these games are being very exagerated =/
