Gravel, tarmac, snow. Whatever the surface, you'll find it here.

[mic] [cir] [ovl] Gourjade

Post by Kikwik »

During a walk in a park I just discovered yesterday, I stumbled into a nice little circuit meant for rollers, bikes and so on. I tried to reproduced this layout in GR keeping it micro sized.

I begun with a natural landscape and tarmac for the layout but I thought it would be better to go to the art side, and something that wasn't made before, with a white layout as a base. I added the red and black color with some patterns made in Gimp, Distorsions tool.

So here it is, Harlequin ! :jester:
Lazy, artsy circuit.

I checked this pack of tracks recently and oh boy had I been lazy about it ! :doh:

So I took again the initial idea, to reproduce this mini circuit in GR but in its park configuration and not the artsy one, and renamed it after the irl park name, Gourjade.

It comes in 3 layouts :

Gourjade C is the circuit version ; 1 complete turn around the mini oval before going back to the starting line.

Gourjade O is the oval version.

Gourjade OM is the mini oval version.

Tested with Formula. But you can drive on it with bikes, rollers, skates like intended irl.

It's only a reskin, but glad I did it. It have some wears here and there, as the irl circuit do. It got a small bump as well after the mini oval. The real circuit is much longer, and have 2 bumps instead of one, have no little pond, but I chose to keep this small size and add some fictional flourishing.

Hope you'll like it too. :goodvibes:

Update 26/12/2024
Changed the pit crew place to let cars go aside them, and retweaked a bit AI pit lines.

You've made the hmap so well, so the long version is much more fun than expected (the jump! :bsmile:). And now with new new look appears really cute. :yummy: Both versions are keepers IMHO. :cool2:
