[rwl] [cir] Autodromo Eduardo Copello "El Zonda"

Post by Black Rebel »

Hello guys,

I introduce here one of my favourite Argentinian tracks. As all the tracks in Argentina, the layout is special and quite unique, but you will find it is a bit similar to Balcarce. This is a fact that in both circuits Juan Manuel Fangio was involved in the layout design.

As you see, this circuit is located in a very special place, on a creek or valley in San Juan, surrounded by mountains. I tried to recreate it as well as I could. Races are very intense in here due the design with long straights and an amazing harpin.

Here a vide of the last TC2000 race there this current year:


Enjoy! :bg:

My heart gets warmer everytime I see a new track topic with your name as author. Superb, as always!
Plus, a new track for my FIA Schedule, since I'm lacking tracks from the Carretera Championship! :)

Thanks a lot for your comment man! Are you gonna get back to track making? Your Taruma was looking very good! Would be great to have more from you.

I've made some updates in some old tracks recently, Tarumã included, but stopped doing pretty much anything since the end of my college time last month xp
I have other tracks to be updated, but have to get back into "work form" first.
Let's make GeneRally great again!

This is seriously a lovely layout, I had no idea Fangio helped design some tracks in Argentina. I looked up Balcarce which you mentioned, both tracks have such perfect flow. Racing is very good here :). Good job Black Rebel once again! :bg:

In terms of quality, execution and atmosphere the track is top notch, the only thing that could be improved is the curvature of 3 corners before the tunnel (under bridge) which could be a bit more pronounced. Now you can drive through them with full throttle in many cars which I'm not very fond of, but the track is great anyway.

You are completely right Lorenzo. The hMap has never been my strenght and when I stoped working on it, I knew it could be a bit better... but I did my best. :bsmile:

I’m sorry if only now send my compliments for this amazing track.

I think that all is very very great and the mountain is near to real world.

5 or 6 stars for me!
