Tracks Atlanta Speedway 1910 1.0.1

[Fourty-Too!]

Fourty-Too! submitted a new resource:

Atlanta Speedway 1910 - Historic Dirt Superspeedway

IMPORTANT NOTES/KNOWN ISSUES:

1. CSP is needed for GrassFX, Tiling Fix, RainFX, and other CSP adjustments. Will work just fine without it as well.
2. I have separated the spectators into their own KN5 file, so if you’re someone who likes racing without spectators, you can easily delete or rename “spectators.kn5” to get rid of them.
3. There’s an issue with SkidmarksFX for low-dust dirt surfaces. The Atlanta Speedway track surface was heavily oiled specifically to reduce dust...

I've found a bug.
On the 2nd bend, the inner guardrail is partly invisible.
It can be seen in the screenshot in Overview.
Or maybe a guardrail was never meant to be there, but you collide with an invisible guardrail.

I don't know what you mean by this—I don't see any issue in the overview screenshot? Could you provide a screenshot of your own to show what the issue is?

Something seems to have gone wrong with the sections file.

Forget what i said, i made a mistake.
What i thought was an invisible guardrail was actually the inside bump of the north curve.
When you hit it at a shallow angle, it feels like hitting a guardrail.

Anyways track is great fun, especially with the W25! ^^

Glad to hear it! Taking the W25 on the Atlanta Speedway? You're a braver man than I!

A track for people who didn't find Langhorne crazy enough.

Thought this was one big weird leg pull, but sure enough, apparently the airport was built on the site of the racetrack.

I'm guessing you'd need one of them 800 hp Pike Peaks cars to have action less sublime than with the Model T.

Yep—initially it was just a small regional airport in the infield, so for a time at least the track still stood dormant while the airport was open (even into the 1920s, I believe). Eventually of course the airport expanded and they demolished the circuit in the process. As ridiculous as it might sound, race tracks getting demolished to make way for airports was more common than you might think—Mines Field and Tacoma Speedway were two other circuits demolished to build an airport I can think of off the top of my head, and there are likely quite a few more.

This Mercedes-Benz W25 is an HSS car. I believe it will be released for free eventually but it's still in early access. You can download it by subscribing to the HistoricSimStudios Patreon page.

Thank you for the fast response.

Thank you for the fast response.

No problem!

No problem!

Are there any cars on here that would go good with this track? If you could please point me in the right direction.

I've mostly taken HSS cars around the track—I've particularly enjoyed taking the 1906 Renault AK Grand Prix and the 1916 Ford Model T Racer around the circuit, but any of the pre-war cars should work quite well

Legion has made some cars from the 30s that you may find appropriate.

How steep is the banking of this track? I'm struggling to find any documentation on this circuit.

How steep is the banking of this track? I'm struggling to find any documentation on this circuit.

9.5ish degrees. No banking angle was listed anywhere, but the curves had a width of 60 feet and were banked 10 feet high, so the angle was easy to calculate.
