Toca 2 rfactor tracks2/13/2024 ![]() With the exception of Bremgarten, I'd never heard of any of the tracks or brought to AC and plenty of other excellent venues I knew in name only, places like: Stardust, Greenwood, Elaintarharata and several more (by Loro), Lake Garnett (by Gnoo Blas (by or Napoli (by so I could give you my own wishlist (vintage versions of Daytona, Solitude, Clermont Ferrand, Brands, Westwood or Reims) but I'm just excited to see what interesting and novel places the best modders out there choose for inspiration. It's worth saying that there are so many incredible historic venues that I've been introduced to through sim racing, that whatever I can dream of there's a whole world of 'unknown unknowns' out there which are being brought to life. Evbuobanosa Motorsport Raceway (short-lived Nigerian circuit with races between 20, also I tried modding this one a while back, should continue on it)Īnd what about you? What circuits would you like to see digitalised? Maybe you can give some modder the inspiration for their next project, so let us know in the comments down below!.Autódromo de Benguela (Angolan circuit now converted to housing).Wachauring (the circuit I live closest to).But if I had to pick some special ones, I would choose My dream is to have a complete database for all of the world's racing circuits. Personally, I would like to see every track digitalised. What Circuit would you like to see featured that hasn't been digitalised yet? And furthermore, what if that circuit wasn't abandoned but driven nowadays with modern cars?Īll that beauty is possible thanks to the powers of digitalisation.īack on Track: What Circuit Would You Like to See?After taking that little detour to once again hope and bring some more people into modding for digitalisation, let's get back to the question at hand. Monetary gain aside, wouldn't it just be nice to find out how it could've felt like driving that one circuit that doesn't exist anymore? That is a question I keep asking myself from time to time. After all, with recent announcements on how the modding systems in Rennsport and GTR Revival are supposed to work, modders could earn a pretty penny modding their hometown historical circuit. How Modders Could Benefit from Historic VenuesThough, some tracks should still be up for grabs for the modders. So why does every racing circuit officially featured in a game need to be the same current version of the Nürburgring, Spa-Francorchamps or Suzuka? So tracks from the time can be brought up to date in terms of safety standards and the like. From those times, many circuits still exist today, largely unchanged. Many of those come from somewhat of a golden era of motorsports, the 50s and 60s. There is a boatload of circuits across the globe which no longer exist. ![]() Licensing cars, licensing circuits, and those licenses are not cheap! This begs the question of how smaller development teams could save a lot of money by not licensing those expensive modern circuits. Racing game developers have one massive pool to drown their money in: licensing costs. At the moment, Reiza seems to be the only professional development studio somewhat focusing on historical content. The game developers themselves could take a good look at past circuits to feature in their works. How Developers Could Benefit from Historic VenuesHowever, it is not only the modders who can keep historic venues alive. My first article on RaceDepartment, " The Importance of Modding in Sim Racing", already mentioned that digitalisation means preserving a bit of history. So, I would like to ask you, which circuit without digital representation would you like to see featured? Whether hosting races now or in the past, circuits should be digitalised to preserve a bit of history. While researching racing circuits around the globe, I have come across many circuits without any digital representation. ![]()
