This wouldn’t go with the video necessarily but it’s funny how in the sim you can see Road Atlanta from Lanier and you can see Lanier from Road Atlanta since their complex’s are right next to eachother
After seeing the Oulton Park entry I feel like I've gotta point out the difference between Rally and Rallycross. Rally is a single time trial where drivers race the clock on point to point stages. Rallycross is the discipline featured in iRacing with multiple cars battle in short 6-10 lap long races featuring joker laps. The WRC (World Rally Championship) visited Oulton that used the roads for some of their point to point stages. The WRX (World Rallycross Championship) has not been there but has been to Silverstone on the Stowe circuits Rallycross layout and Lydden Hill which is yet to feature in iRacing. Also you circled the wrong layout of Silverstone. You circled the National circuit not the Stowe circuit which is on the opposite side of the facility
Kept waiting for the Bugatti Circuit at Le Mans and was surprised it wasn't on the list. Out of all the track layouts iRacing left out, I find this the most surprising since it is an actively used layout, with series as big as Moto GP using it.
It would be great to see the Bugatti Circuit. There is a good reason though as to why it's not in iRacing yet. They scanned Le Mans at the 2015 24hrs of Le Mans. In the week or two of the 24hrs, the Bugatti Circuit is covered by all sorts of trucks, trailers, camper vans, etc of the teams and officials. iRacing would have to have made two trips to Le Mans to get both the Circuit De La Sarthe and the Bugatti Circuit. That said, the year is now 2023, you would think that by now they would have gone back to Le Mans to get the Bugatti Circuit.
@@Nick_Kearney I imagine with the ACO being the way they are, with iRacing unable to run a Le Mans special event they aren't on the terms to go scanning Bugatti Circuit
At 13:12 you circled the wrong area for the Stowe Circuit. It is between the international home straight and the Hanger straight while you circled behind the national pit straight. On the photo you showed you can see the chicane that's in the background between T7 and T8 on the map
Legacy Phoenix also has the old outside-the-oval road course rendered, but that's because it's been used exclusively as parking lot roads around the track since 1990 and the old break in the exterior wall that it used to get on/off the oval was gone before iRacing's original scan.
I believe they couldn’t scan this surface, since it’s used for parking during the 24h event, and they couldn’t scan that track outside of the timeframe when it was unavailable (due to using public roads).
The Lime Rock Proving Grounds actually made for a really fun endurance track for go karting, also fun for regular autocrossing, but doing a 3hr race there was something I really enjoyed
we have already currently 363 track configurations and there are coming more and more tracks and configs every 3 month. Also, a tip regarding any not published tracks: Every track gets an ID assigned. When there is a gap in between, that means that there was something planned enough to have an ID. It is sometimes interesting to see where the gaps are.
I've driven the lime rock proving ground course and the pocono interior east course irl and they're both sooo much fun. They're probably both too small for wheel to wheel racing, except for maybe the formula vee, but I wish they were in the sim just for fun and practice
IRP had a road course that was run a long time ago but didn't use any part of the oval, but did use the drag strip. I think IMSA had some race there back in the day
2 tracks I think you missed and could have been added to this list was Z max dragway next to Charlotte Motor speedway and the dirt track at Charlotte. Then there is the Drag Strip at Sonoma
The reason why Nashville Superspeedway was named like it is today is because at the time when the track was being built in late 1990s, the only other main oval track in the nashville area was the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway (at the time called Nashville Speedway USA) so when they were naming the track they gave it the Superspeedway suffix at the end to differentiate it from the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. In fact Superspeedway itself originally meant tracks that were a mile longer (like how Darlington is NASCAR's oldest Superspeedway not by length or name but by the original definition) but changed when Daytona and Talladega (originally Alabama International Motor Speedway) were brought into the NASCAR racing scene
Nashville Superspeedway was planned to be a whole complex, with an infield road course, plus a separate dirt track and drag strip. Those plans fell through, obviously.
Fun fact actually, you said that IMSA hasn't raced at the Texas Road Course Which is technically correct, but also technically wrong all at the same time Because the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) ran the Texas Road Course in 2000 and 2001!
There might be other series or events I’m not aware of, but I do know that Pocono’s road courses did host races as recent as last year, with the now defunct Bertil Roos racing school.
Not really related, but in the Atlanta infield road course, if you pull off to the ditch by the bridge and balance your car on the edge of the drivable road and the part you can fall through, it launches your car into space.
Sad the Pocono road courses didn’t get added, I’ve driven one of the configurations that uses turn 1 of the oval and think it’d be fun for formula vee/ff1600
Thompson Connecticut has a road course. Also actually a couple different versions of a road course one that is ran on multiple times a year to this day and also I want a part of it that has been closed for half a century at this point probably that I would love to see what it would’ve been like to run that back in the day
Seems like a real waste to just not have a track that's literally right there instead of scanning a whole new place. If we can see it, we shoule be able to race it. I hate game companies thinking they know what we want.
hey just wanted to point out the clip at 0:38, where the WRC (world rally championship) logo is very clearly visible, and considering how narrow the interior dirt section is, I think the interior ment for traditional stage rally, not rallycross
TIL my favorite track is indeed on iRacing. Though it's rendered a bit... OFF... based on what's located around it (State Fair Park? Pettit Ice Center? Where arrrreee youuuuuu???)
6:27, and I am le sad, when whatever mod added the pocono road courses to wreckfest, I enjoyed the heck out of those courses, ... even though the AI sucked at them XD;;.
Not quite a hidden track, but there's a drag strip in the scan of Winton that you can drive on. It runs from the infield right after T3 and joins the race track at T10.
