check the video inside!

Yes, there are. For example, the exit and also entrance of Kyoto National is like the Indianapolis F1 track. And theres the bridge at Kyoto Long, that reminds of Suzuka.

So if you base this on your decision to buy S2, its just one more point to do it.

No, real life tracks are more challanging.



Seriously, there are some similarities... Like the mini Eau Rouge at Aston. Or Kyoto GP Long which seems to have taken inspiration in Suzuka. But the similarities aren't as big as with the cars.

Someone found pictures of a track that was very similar to Fe, but I forgot how the track was called.

Vain

Only these tracks are similar to the real world or any other tracks exist ?

I remember finding these pictures ages ago when googleing for textures.
- apparently from a racetrack located in Jamaica.

I can't really find any similarity between KY National and the Indianapolis track...

Both have oval section and "infield" section. Yes there are similar!

The Indianapolis track has 2 straights and 2 long turns..
LFS oval reminds me more like a heart....

I can't see that much similarity..

The left right chicane during down hill at Aston North remind's me of the same thing on the Nürburg Ring (Grüne Hölle-old one).

You do know, that KY National is NOT KY Oval?

I was talking about the sections, where you drive from oval to the infield, and back from infield ot the oval.

I know that... and as the picture shows, it's not kind of similar to the real Indianapolis F1/Nascar track... They might look alike but there are lots of turns that are not even close to similarity...

I wasnt talking about the whole track, like I already said in just that post, you quoted.

hehe... I know, bud... am just saying

I think there is no track tacken from reality.
They took just some parts or turns or ideas from the real track's.

Anybody know whether Hermann Tilke has an LFS licence? Perhaps we could get some movement in the other direction...

theres a bridge in suzuka that reminds me of the second last corner on blackwood, but its not really

who is him ??illepall

TyresHot - Herman Tilke is the BEST (and I mean it) Racetrack designer, any track he designs can end up in the F1 calendar, and most of them do...
so before showing "illepall" you could at least google...

Isn't kyoto an actual track?

Actually, he isn't the best... It's just him they always employ to convert a perfectly acceptable track into something boring... Stop and go isn't exactly how a racing track should be like...

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I think Jason was suggesting that Tilke might be able to get some ideas from Eric, because all his circuits are boring and samey.

Thanks Kev -- I don't know where I'd be without you.

Tilke is truly a perfectionist. He has an amazing skill to turn every possible track he touches to 100% shit. F*ck him and his boring tracks.

Yes... but it's made for horses.
