Thank you for this. It's wonderful to see that the track is very realistic in the game, even if the lap records are being matched almost every lap! I always sit at pole 8 there. When there are Americans down under my family always gets out the stars and stripes so it would be cool to see that, if iRacing scans western springs, when the pacing laps are going the flag is by the fence under pole 8 (except with one to green (we'd be back up ready to watch the race!)).

I actually use 69 as my racing number, because I have a little history behind it: In NASCAR ‘14, I was planning to use the number 95, but I had no idea Leavine Family Racing existed. So out of the numbers I was allowed to use, I chose 69. This is because of three events that happened in 1969: -1: Neil Armstrong stepping on the Moon. -2: My mother was born. I use 69 as a tribute to two of my favourite people in history. Rest In Peace, Neil Armstrong. My mother’s still alive, thankfully.

That’s a neat story. I always find it interesting why people chose specific numbers for their racing

Me too. My favourite one is Daniel Ricciardo. His is so heartwarming. He chose 3 because Dale Earnhardt was his favourite NASCAR driver, so he chose it as a tribute. In fact, Red Bull agrees with me, because they changed their number font to Dale’s old one.

That's brilliant, mate. I found this video while searching for the track installers from way back when I made and edited rF1 dirt tracks. All my files are dead and gone a few PC builds ago. I made this track on request of a local racer (just a lad at that time) Breyton Davison. Makes me smile to see it still lives somewhere. Track I was searching for is actually Iktomi Fairgrounds, which I saw in your track list. This is probably a huge long shot, but do you have a link to download that installer, Iktomi? If not, no worries. Gio

Hey mate very cool story! I’ve since got a new pc but I’ll see if I still have the installer. Good chance I won’t have it though I possibly still have the track folder installed on the old pc if that helps any. I’d have to check

@@hobbo88 I still haven't found anyone with the installer, so if you do have the track files, I'd be happy to provide an ftp to nudge them my way. We can message on a different platform, if you prefer. I still have a Giospeed Designs Facebook entity that's just sort of parked and inactive. Or whatever. If that's too much a bother, no worries at all, I know this is old stuff. Cheers, Gio. You still sim racing?

This rep of the track is spot on and dude,,, short track setup needed with a qualify run. Otherwise the wall like bistrol will eat you or you over rotate corners. Very few Pros have passed more than two cars in a race unless they are lapped. Even midgets die here:/

There’s a lot of small micros type tracks on rfactor. Biggest issue with the micros and midgets is that AI doesn’t work which makes videos hard to do
