Today i've take a look at silverstone.co.uk and i see a little track inside the international.. what's this? Dirt ? ---- Is it planned to get the fast "vale" chicane inside the GP & international layout ? (Last chicane GP)
Silverstone's Stowe Circuit, used for driver training(UK GT Academy too), track day experiences, some races etc. and also where Hammond drove Renault F1. Would be great to have! Any plans for it?
ISI Track Team We'll switch focus back to Silverstone for half a day tomorrow to address the issues that came up testing (not many). Thanks to our testers!
National is the one you will be waiting for, which is the other loop (with the old GP pits). Intenational and the GP course both use the new pits at the bottom of the map posted above. I think you guys will be really happy with the new Silverstone. I haven't been able to do any testing, so went straight from public to the release candidate and it's a MASSIVE difference. The track feels really good with the bumps, and I'm running races while capturing video with a full field. Really happy at the work of the track guys.
When the guys get a chance it would be nice to let us know what was done to gain these improvements for future track makers. rF2 deserves some desent tracks, the more info we have out there in the public, the more chances we have of seeing extra time being put into the addons for rF2.
Ha! Good to hear ISI Silverstone is one of my favorite tracks and I really looking forward to the updated version with bumps and all the other improvements
"Testing of Silverstone v1.14 went well. It's now up to the guys at the office to plan and get everything prepared for release."
Here's a lap of the GP track you are used to with the new bumps, etc. You can't really see as many as you can feel, but this video looks a lot more like a real life helmet cam than it did before... Please don't share this out yet, this is just for you nice forum folks.
Nice driving, i hope we see us on the server next time Do you think we can beat the laptimes from the old version or with the new bumbs we can't drive the good old laptimes? ---- Is the vale chicane planned ? (last corner fast chicane) How % chance do you think Tim that we get the Silverstone's Stowe Circuit ? (Track inside the international)
I don't really recall a big bump there in the sim... I actually think with the F2 I was 'skirting' across the tarmac a little bit in Abbey. I often put the right tires on the kerb and it tends to make the car chatter the tires on the new circuit in the fast turns. Guess that might be what you're seeing as a bump. Anyway, you'll feel it fairly soon. Literally just waiting to be told to release...
Ah, I see the motion... It does';t feel that big in the sim. Maybe the camera is showing a little loss of speed from the bump more than the impact of it? Some of the others feel a lot bigger.
