The Track:
This version is based on Frank.55's conversion made for GTR2, previously made by Silvain Glapa for NR2003.
Permission for this modification has been granted by Frank.55

This has been an on/off project, and I have no list of all the fixed/improvements.
A few of the main tweaks are however:
Rain-reflections added
Better surface-physics (now feels like they look)
LOD-trimming
HAT-polycount decreased to less that 50% (faster loading and better performance, especially with AIs)
Lots of new textures
Extensive new treeline
Windows-reflections
X-Sector fixes - no more loosing a lap
FlickerFree HUD/Cockpit (entire track has been offset to fit 'world-center' - use included devfiles )
Tested with 50 AIs @ acceptable FPS
New CAMs done by Mayo, thanx.
Selectable level of detail: Medium disables tree shadows, Low disables also Light-Glows (except REDs)
50/100/150/300 -signs now has a night-reflection look to them, making them easier to see
Gravel pits will slow vehicle down faster to avoid fatal crashes, you may however need to use the clutch to get back on track
Cones are no longer movable, however they WILL effect the handling of you car.
Roadblocks and invisible walls added to prevent driver from track exit into free space
- - - - - - - - - - - Regarding Flickering - - - - - - - - - - -
By my experience, the optimal way to remove or limit flickering on this circuit is by using the defviews.cam file included, which is to be copied to \GTR2\UserData\
And in game-options for graphics/video choose the FULL-settings defaults. Otherwise play around with settings.
This is NOT a guaranteed method, but it did remove flicker for several people, lets hope you can be added to the list. You will however, properly still get some when in TV-mode or Swing-cam - I have NOT gone through all the settings for each of these CAMs, be my guest...

This track is now usable for actual 24 Hour events, which was done successfully all ready in 2007 - Prior to this event we found that several issues had to be fixed, and this is now the outcome as we are closing up to our 2008-event. Hope you all enjoy the track, and a big thank goes to all who have helped testing and
pointing out bug and solutions. And of course to Sylvain Glapa and Frank.55 for all their work.
WiZPER, 2008
