i am up for every kind of oval allthough i think a shorter one where you actually have to lift throttle with the gtrs (i know you have to lift throttle with some cars on ky, but who is racing them :/)
BUT
in the first place we need proper aero-dynamics like air push and stuff and a proper race car for that kind of tracks. but yep, i am up for every oval
not really.
what is the point of "testting" the top speed anyway? You take a car, get it to top speed.....you know what the top speed is....and then?
I'd rather see time being spend on race tracks, much more important imo.
The oval is not for using brakes, its for drafting. The game is drafting and the ky-oval is great for this. I guess we need a bigger oval for a higher top-speed with a longer straight-line. For better drafting and teamwork.
We have something similar - the autocross environment. Maybe add a 2km or more straight (read - extend the drag strip, make it like the 1 mile straight at Millbrook) and a racing circuit that uses the skid pan, the autocross car park and some of the straight.
If the straight length was adjustible, it would add the option for good old 1/8 mile (200m) drag races or even longer.
And we could have an AVUS clone, just add a bank at the other end of the long straight.
and what i like about it is that you can get anywhere... easily, whereas with the GT3 and 4 test track its like.. 10 or so miles long and its one whole track
it kinda reminds me of the netkar demo track (whichever that was) where it was a track and had a skidpad connected etc.
Yep, why not?
Oh wait, we only get one environment per year on average, so I don't really want to see it wasted on a test track (as fun as that might be in the short term).
In the parallel LFS-world where tracks are plentiful, we'd already have one of those.
I HAD looked up youtube videos, but accidentally closed the wrong browser tab.
Anyway these are examples of ovals of various sizes and shapes
Las Vegas International Speedway (infield roadcourse equipped)
California Speedway (infield roadcourse equipped)
Martinsville (short track)
Bristol (short track)
Twin Ring Motegi (oval built over a roadcourse, so the roadcourse passes under the oval)
Pocono (infield roadcourse equipped)
Darlington
Every one of these is different, in size, banking and shape. The Kyoto Oval is more of a superspeedway than a standard oval.
