[rwl] [cir] Queensland Raceway
Posted: Thu Aug 16, 2012 10:54 pm
Hi all
I'm finally able to release an rwl track: Queensland Raceway in Willowbank, Queensland, AU.
Theoretically I should hate this track because it took away the ATCC/V8 Supercars from Lakeside International Raceway, which was a cool track, to the more or less boring Queensland Raceway. I still decided to make it as it's the successor to Lakeside and as there are only two versions of this: Whozig's version is quite old and preetzertrain's version is inaccurate on some places. I went for an accurate replication, but if anything is wrong, tell me and I can see if I get it fixed. Several members of the community helped me to make this my best looking rwl track (at least it's better than the Nashville Speedway ).
This one was almost ready theoretically in March, then it somehow found the way to my archive of WIPs, but I knew it was pretty enough to be dug out.
Queensland Raceway (also called the "Paperclip") was opened in 1999 and holds a V8 Supercar event since then. To honour one of Australia's best race drivers, the front straight was named "Dick Johnson Straight". The track has got an overall length of 3.12 km (900 GRm) in its longest configuration and 1.89 km (540 GRm) in its shortest configuration. There are 4 configurations: V8 (National layout, looks like during V8 Supercar race), Sportsman, Clubman, Sprint. The surface of the track was very bumpy, so it got a repavement in late 2011.
I hope you enjoy this track, so please rate and leave some comments
