one straight could be longer...
maybe you should change the Worldsize, it doesn't seem to be over 200...

Maybe the track is too large... :scratch: Should be reduced IMHO.

it is a bit too wide, but only by a few of pixels tbh.

really, youve done quite a nice job here :bg: a few details here and there arent right, like the alignement of that oval thing and the two kinks after the 1st turn. if you made it narrower you would be able to find a bit more room for these kinks and also then hopefully some room for pit garages/paddock. also notice how the back straight is a lot longer than the pit straight,meaning the 2nd-last turn is the other side of the oval thing i mentioned before ;) this could all be rectified by changing the WS just a little bit and as i said, making it a tiny bit narrower, rule of thumb i try and use is that the track width (white line and the grey line outside it included) is the width of 3 adjacent start boxes. i hope you understand that?

other than that your just missing a few textures really that would finish the track off nicely, good job tho :wave:

I agree, that the layout have some minor mistakes in comparison to real track and there not much textures, but in fact I like it, the effort is very clean and track has very nice atmosphere. So in sum not perfect, but great on first rwl. :bg:

But it isn't centered on the platform but built over the whole texture (if you understand what I mean :lol: )

I wouldn't have improved just AI line and reduce WS.
IMO you should have created a nearly complete new track, but you have to know :shrug:

Corners 2-4 are bit different looking from the real track, also the second straight is kinda long.
