Hi, guys.
I finally finished and can post here a new
track. Here it is:
Mirabelle
This long and winding road circuit located near eastern boarders of Lorraine, France, was settled closely after end of WWII by local volunteers from Metz. Track soon achieved strong popularity among drivers of all neighborhood nations (France, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland), who compared theirs skills in Course de la Paix, event for GT cars. Sadly, no matter on heavy effort of local organizers, the track was not able to keep increasing safety standards because of dangerous surroundings of dense forests and cliffs, which resulted in fast decline of the circuit. Track hosted several occasional local and national events until 1974, when was finally abandoned after series of serious crashes during national touring cars event.

Enjoy driving and be careful!
And special thanks to BBA for advices, how to make cliffs. I hope, they are not very bad.

I was just thinking why didn't you put up a real world circuit tag. I've found my answer!
Wonderfull track! The landmap and hmap just superb, and the layout fits perfectly the story. I can't decide which area I like the most! Couldn't beat the ai though, but that's good. Certainly it has the potential to be the winner of ToM but we should wait, it's only the 14th of June! Great work!
5/5

Thank you very much, guys.
As I stated in readme, this track is my personal tribute to French road courses in Clermont-Ferrand, Rouen and Reims.

You'll get your ToM Vote
Amazing track
Although theres one little thing I dislike: the tarmac texture at the last part of the track

The final hairpin is meant as oldest part of the roads, so I tried to do it like from small cobblestones by very minimalistic texture.
And thank you for nomination.

The track look quite like Gabor's Reims, made with using the same, excellent technique, but in far better scenery. No doubt, one of the best tracks I've recently seen. Obviously 5/5 from me.

Thanks guys. So much positive comments.
It's big honor, if you even compare the track with Gábor's Reims.
@ Dan: I'm not sure, what do you mean. If the texture in top-middle, it should be softly harrowed field, approx. something like field on
this picture.
