Nascar Tracks

[xmurrx]

Can someone send me a link to a website that i can get all of the tracks that nascar runs on.


I tried rfactor central but they only have 3 of the tracks


thanks

I can't believe that! Surely there are more? Perhaps there is a track pack with one of the many Nascar mods that you have missed. I shall have a little look see, because although I refuse to race on ovals you have peaked my curiosity.

[snowy]

I'm no expert but Nascar must use some of these and they are all there at rFactorcentral

Gateway, California, Indianapolis, Atlanta, Daytona, and Watkins Glen.

And under the TPSCC mod there is Fontana, Tennessee, Nevada, Florida and Georgia. Do they use the Talladega road course ever?

[snowy]

Try here, it requires registration but they have 11 less than 1 mile ovals and 17 more than 1 mile ovals. That should keep you going.

So many tracks there it makes me want to take up oval racing!

Download the whole mod. All tracks come with the mod.
Extract to temp folder (i.e Desktop) and copy the whole locationsfolder to your rfactor. Or just run the Nascar 07 from the temp folder. It´s standalone, but carmodels not that good like TPSCC.

i tried that mod a long time ago dont bother because the tracks are crap

[snowy]

Are you talking about the rFNASCAR MOD 2007 EVO? Because I have just had a couple of really good races at Atlanta and Homestead! I wouldn't rate the circiuts as outstanding but they appeared to be reasonably well textured and ok to drive. Of course I haven't got anything to compare them with as I've just never been tempted to race on an oval before!

[snowy]

I have just started racing Nascar sims, it is something I have avoided for many many years. I like watching Nascars on road courses and have always appreciated the noise and the atmosphere they generate. I quite often wake up for the last two laps of an oval race as if by magic!

Today I became a little bit bored, it was lap 18 or something of perhaps my 3rd Nascar race ever and I was leading and I was happy. But as I say I think I got bored and I touched a wheel on the apron and there wasn't any grip there and I span and now I was sad and I was embarrassed and I was in last place. But there was a full course caution, apparently some idiot had . . . oh that was me! I caught up with the pack and when pit road opened all the cars went down it. It was like the parting of the Red Sea This made me very happy again I was now in P1 and only had the pace car ahead of me and two green flag laps left! I could see myself winning this race after all I dreamt of the adulation of the crowd and the disbelief and constanation of my opponents It made me even happier.

When the green flag dropped I made what can only be called a text book restart and was about to cross the line with acres between me and my pursuers. It was then that my lack of experience bit me on the tail. Somebody came on the radio and warned me of something - I don't no what - I made the assumption that I had taken off too quickly and was being warned, I began to take my foot off the gas for a mere milli second whilst realizing simultaneously how stupid that would be . Too late I was engulfed! My hopes, my dreams everything I had yearned for these past twenty minutes were dashed.

I fought back bravely but hopelessly . . . that was until a chink of light appeared the cars in front had tripped momentarily over themselves, I, me the driver of this car, in this moment had the momentum, there were two turns left, one small shaft of ashfelt at the lowest point of the banking. If I fell down into it I would have even more momentum, even more gravity, more desire! I thrust into this gap and gouged a hole and flew around the next turn too only yards behind a startled foe and low, really low and as I crossed the line I saw I was second and as I looked again I saw I was first! I had won, I was the winner, I had tamed Talladega, I had triumphed and everyone else had failed and I was happy, and I rested.

And after I rested I looked at the times and I looked at the replay and I looked deep inside the soul of the racing driver I had become.

Sounds like u are becoming a nascar fan. Every one says that it is boring but it is more than that. When you get a chance try to do a race at Pocono Raceway. i go their in real life and watch the race their. also for $200 i got to drive 10 laps around the track in a real stock car it was crazy. Try pocono it is a cool track. It is not an oval it is a triangle, also try martinsville.



P.S. If u ever get a chance to come to the U.S. go to a nascar race u will be hooked.

[snowy]

Pocono Long Pond! Sounds like a Japanese tri-oval filled with Kio carp! I tried an Intermediate track last night. Fort Worth Texas I won the race against100% AI so I decided to bump up the opposition, I set the AI on 120%! As far as it will go. Expecting a bit more opposition but an achievable objective. Those sons of b*****s turned me round six or seven times! I had to restart with indestructible on just so I could complete more than 5 laps! The upshot being that I discovered there is a world of pain in Fort Worth Texas!

Tell me Pocono and Martinsville won't bite my a*** like it got bit last night!

The short tracks like Martinsville will HAVE your a***, or a** as we say here in the USA. Nothin' but bumpin and pushin, bumpin and pushin, squirt a gas, stomp on the binders, squirt a gas, whoaa buddy, you not squeezin in front of ME, not TODAY!

[Wee Scot]

BTW, nice picture, Snowy. AMAZING how much you look like Lewis Hamilton!

[rasfigjohn]

yes he really looks like Lewis... if I find nice glasses like that we could make a Lewis lookalikes contest

[xmurrx]

hey snowy if you still have the installer for the mod can you e-mail it to me?
My e-mail is xmurr88x@gmail.com or im it to xmurr88x. thanks.
The download keeps gettin stuck at 67% Keeps saying unable to download connection to server was reset. I tried in Firefox and still said the same thing.

Please help

[rasfigjohn]

You want him to mail the almost 1 GB file? It's strange I had no problem... I downloaded it in 20 minutes with Net Transport 2

[snowy]

You don't have to download that file there is another there that is just the mod and tracks. The really big one has rFactor included and that is why it is so big! Like a fool I only sussed it when I was 78% complete! The other file is only 250 350 if memory serves so you should be able to get that. I use Download Express by the way so if resume is supported I get to keep what I've already got. I think it's a fairly good program but I know others are also ok. Firefox supports resume doesn't it?

[rasfigjohn]

Yes It gave me a fresh install of rFactor dedicated to Nascar. But... Does it work because I have rF installed yet or can it work for people who don't have rFactor?

[snowy]

It will work for you. As for people who haven't got rFactor already I guess it has some kind of demo mode, I doubt very much that it will work without an online purchase.

There are some issues when trying to add some new car or champioship mods to this install. I think it hangs because there is a call for a particular bmp or tga or other for the startup screen and this install doesn't have it. I reckon the best workaround is a championship launch addon like rFignition. Haven't tried it yet but will let you know if it works soon.

[xmurrx]

i got the mod. i got download manager IT DOWNLOADS F**KIN FAST.

if n e 1 want to race just let me no


i will beat u cuz i have driven a nascar car in real life

[snowy]

Cool xmurrx, glad you've got it! you can let us know how authentic or unauthentic it really is!

[xmurrx]

I was just playin around sayin i will beat u. I have only been playin rfactor for a month. The mod works good and is authentic.


Pros: The Cars handel like real NEXTEL cup cars. the trucks handel good as well. Who ever made that mod did a really good job making the Car of Tomorrow (COT for short). If anyone wants a good nascar mod get this one. Also all of the cars and teams are real


Cons: The car skins are not good as TPSCC or SCE. The tracks are not as good a TPSCC or SCE.

[snowy]

That's pretty good news! Though there's not much we can do about the car skins, the tracks are not a problem. We take all the best ones and drop 'em in the rFNascar location folder and we then have one hell of a good mod. I'm sure new skins will emerge with time, though the ones already there probably explain the good fps even when the cars are piling up!

I'm treating myself today. I've got the projector out and have been doing some laps round Melbourne in Lewis' MacLaren. It is so awesome having a 60 inch screen infront of me in my bedroom, that I just had to take a spin round Talladega! I had a few monster crashes and failed to finish a race so I'm gonna do some laps in Rasfigjohn's BMW round Monaco or Macau in GTR2. Should be fun too!

[rasfigjohn]

I'd rather have good fps than nicer skins... I'm quite happy with the ones in the mod. It must be great to try on a wide screen... Maybe one day but you know things like that are so expansive on my little island...
Nice to read that the RastaBaby Bimma is roaring in Monaco Streets.. waking up the upper class that late in the night... It sure will keep you awake waiting for the race...

[xmurrx]

yea i got a 42 inch widescreen plasma tv in my room and my pc is hooked up to it along with a hd tivo. Right know i am racing formula 1 at melborn while wathcing it at the same time (split screen). But rfactor, GTR2, GTL, RACE, and NR2003 look sooooooooooooooo good on a plasma tv.




(I cant wait for GTR to come out on XBOX 360)

Yeah, I can relate! Unfortunately, my 42" plasma is in the shop for a new power unit. Been there for 7 weeks. Back ordered from Daewoo in Korea.

Yikes!
