Watkins Glen

[timnsr72]

Just looking for some feedback on what version of the Watkins Glen track everyone is using & which one everyone thinks is most realistic. Also are any of the trackmakers planning a 2013 version following the race weekend?

Smiffsden has a Watkins Glen track pack. I don't know how race-accurate the billboards and all that jazz are, but it has pretty good racing.

The pack that is in smiffsden site has the boot tracks, but not the cup layout. Does anyone have the cup layout that they'd be able to post here?

I use Watkins Glen 2011 located here under Road Courses..third column over HiGrip Wreckers Nascar Racing 2003 Tracks Page
I went to the race yesterday and turn 7 (the last turn before the front straight) in the game seems much sharper and flat than what I saw. It seems much more gradual and banked in real life and cars were carrying good speed into it..even this one seems too sharp and flat

I live about an hour from the track & have driven it multiple times & the final turn is actually rather flat, the angles of the cameras make it seem like it is more banked than it really is.

Maybe it looks different when driving..I was in the Bog on that turn and it seemed much longer, more banked and gradual a turn than in game but maybe it was the sight line

The tracks we currently have are pretty accurate as far a track geometry, at this point the track is lacking mostly as far as trackside objects. It's probably the most out of date track now that Sonoma has be updated. Hopefully one of the many great track makers this game has will update the glen for the community, I'd love to help in any way possible.
