Hi guys,

A bit quiet here.  :)

I had a look at some info on ATCC (Australian Touring Car Championship) and I found a season that could be perhaps inspiring for OSJ GTL.

It's the 1970 season.

I drove most of the tracks in a Falcon for some laps and here's what I found:

1970 Australian Touring car Championship

1 Calder Park Raceway.

rather bad fps and not a fun track imo.
Needs replacement I think.

2 Bathurst.
MMM Bathurst. Currently not in SJ nor NG downloads but will be made available for us again if we make a season like this, Giz checked with the authorities.

3 Sandown.

fantastic track, looks beautiful and drives like a dream

4 Mallala.
http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=6779
great little track, good turns, feels and looks good, good fps

5 Warwick Farm.
http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=8548
longer track, just amazing!!! great fps, great track surface, fantastic turns.

6 Lakeside
http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=4661
not tested yet.

7 Symmons Plaine.
http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=2211
short very nice track. hairpin, fast parts, couple of good turns, nice atmosphere. Looks good, god fps.

I am making my own GTL track testing thread and these tracks will be tested further and I'll post in here:

Remove a couple of the tracks put in Ruapuna and the old Taupo and this would look good.

Still interested but short of practice time until I've been on Hols  :biggrin: and we come back and prepare for our new kitchen to be fitted - say a month.  thumbs up By then I guess the clocks will have done all their strange things and it'll be a 0730 GMT start.  :twit:

I think the GTL-OSJ may be struggling to it's feet, and emerging blinking into the light...
