Many hours have been spent to re-create this great track as close to the original as possible. A combination of topo maps, aerial photos, and hours and hours of video have been used to bring this track back to life. It is roughly modeled as if it was 1988 during the final Budweiser 400. Four layouts are included which are the Long, Short, NASCAR, and Spike layouts.

Riverside sadly closed in 1989. Between the years of 1957-1988 it hosted many great racing series such as CAN-AM, IMSA, NASCAR, SCCA, IndyCar, and even Formula 1.

Excellent track! Thanks for your efforts to bring this to rF2. Those screenies look very impressive. Can't wait.
 
This is looking really good allready and the right track for your beauties. Especialy the grass at night looks pretty decent and better than I expected, so good job on that. Keep up the good work ;)
 
Wow! It is looking great so far! LilSki has an amazing base, and I'm really happy that he was able to give permission for the conversion. Really looking forward to the release! Keep up the great work!
 
This is fantastic news! One of the best tracks in rF1. I had so much fun with muscle cars and '65 F1 cars around here!

Can't wait!

PS The track is looking really really good already! How much stuff is left to complete?

No offense to any other modders who built or converted a version of RIR in the past but this one will drive completely different. Not saying it will be better or worse but different. The only one that comes close to this would be Ginetto's scatch built version for GPL. Everything else was crazy inaccurate.

For those who have no seen it here is a recent video of it in AC. Should give you a good idea what to expect from rF2.

Great stuff! That video does look a bit different in places, but I still recognise the layout. Can't wait to give it a go in the 60s cars!

On that site it would be the track layout 69-88

@Mauro That one looks like the rF1 version with the tyres of death!

@toebee Will you include a version with the 'tyres of death'?

I found a really old video I made. You can't enter the final turn with much more style than this!!!
(Those glorious rF1 graphics tho!!! :D )
 
After 69 when the dogleg and T9, and T1 got reconfigured the tires were pretty much on the way out. They were there for a few years but by the mid 70s only a few corners had some remains of the original tires. By 1980 all the tires were gone and the small curbs were put in place.

To be 100% correct and have all the "tires of death", T9 and T1 would have to be the pre 69 configuration and many of the track side objects would have to change. Such as the goodyear tower would be on the front straight, no suites on front straight, the T6 grandstands would have to be smaller, 80's era RVs would have to be changed to 60's era cars, etc. It is basically a total remodel of the circuit. I prefer the curbs rather than the tires myself.
