Thanks!
I am very happy with his praise "Rebel". You are a good reference regarding the set for that game.
To be honest, there is very little consolidated information available on the Internet about the street circuit of Ribeirao Preto. The City Hall of Ribeirão Preto was trying to leverage expression racing competition stages. Before the street circuit of Anhembi, at Sao Paulo City, be confirmed as the Brazilian leg of the Formula Indy, much speculated on a street circuit in the city of Ribeirao Preto. The city is a kind of capital of Brazilian ethanol and around it there are many alcohol plants, which became one of the richest cities in Brazil (though not as well known internationally). The per capita income of the city is like that of many European countries, to give you an idea.
This rich position enabled the city government could mount one of the best structures between the main stages of the main brazilian national competition racing, Stock Car (
http://stockcar.globo.com/ - in Portuguese). The circuit has been highly praised by pilots who went there in June and so far has had a record audience League (42000 expectators). In fact, the only change will be made for next year, as already disclosed by the organization's stage, will be extending the runway, which became very difficult for any passing.
The trail, created in a new area of the city, has exactly 2270 meters with 10 curves. The Maximum speed reaches 210 km/h

Suggests:
· Make a version without the roundabout (the circular road) but with a chicane
Pros about the suggest:
· Better layout
· More overtaking opportunities
Cons about the suggest:
· It would be no longer a real-world track
About your suggestion, I suggest you do an outline of how you think that this stroke chicane. I honestly do not see. Anyway, as you may have read above, the only change will be made in the circuit for next year is the extension of the runway, just to give more opportunities for overtaking. How is a real track, this change neutering.
Well, I await your sketch to start thinking about making such adjustments (which certainly will be inserted here with another name or a complementary file in the pack of Ribeirão Preto). Greetings
