Thanks but no thanks. I will keep an eye on it though for updatesJeddah Street Circuit - F1 2021 - Night Race
Jeddah 2021 requires STFLOW https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/stflow-shader.23999/ Running to 6.175km with 27 corners, the Jeddah Street Circuit will be the second-longest on the calendar and one of the fastest too, with an average speed...www.racedepartment.com
Are the organisers of F1 that dense? Its so disappointing.
No, it merely shows that it's piss easy to import WIP tracks into the ancient Assetto Corsa engine.The fact that they would rather choose Assetto Corsa and the RSS F1 2020
to showcase the brand-new JEDDAH street track worldwide
than using their own franchised F1 game ,
shows how great Assetto Corsa has become .
I don't think people will like this track to watch, i feel for sim racers it could be fun to do some hot laps on but i think it's going to provide a boring raceI must be the weirdo here, but the track itself seems to have a great flow.
Lots of high speed turns, a couple of overtaking spots into the final turn, T1, and possibly T13 and T22. The track itself is pretty good. The country behind the event however...
Ps. The car is 100% the RSS Formula Hybrid and the game is AC. Tilke has used the RSS car with permission from the people at RSS. Just wanted to point that out
FIA should pay circuits like Imola to host a GP

I was reading an interview with a certain Bernie Ecclestone a few weeks back.
The interviewer was remarking on how fantastic it was to have classic tracks back on the calendar for 2020, and it was interesting just how dismissive Bernie was in his reply.
His basic reply was nothing about the track but the fact it wasn't "state of the art" in the paddock area, in his view the tracks were poor quality and old; and didn't provide the facilities to teams (and most importantly in his view) the guests of the sponsors and teams. He basically said it never would have happened if he'd still be in charge. He would rather have less races that go back to Imola or Turkey. Interesting...
I've been to Abu Dhabi and the Grand Prix and yes as a facility it is amazing and provides a great "experience" (and a holiday away) but as a track, it is of course nothing like a Monza or Imola and doesn't have the atmosphere or history that a classic GP venue has.
BTW, I'm sure you know anyway but the circuits pay F1 to hold the race, rather than the other way around. That was one of the main problems these older circuits had. I don't know about Liberty Media but Bernie would always insist in crazy deals like seven years and only the huge oil rich countries could pay that sort of money.
The like of Imola (maybe even Portimao) could only afford something like a two year deal and he never would have allowed that. Twit...haha.
With regards to the Jeddah circuit. It certainly looks very fast and entertaining but I just know it's bee another Baku. Billiard table smooth. I want a proper street circuit that has bumps and will break cars. That to me is a proper street circuit. Ho hum....
Thats the damn truth.It’s good that this senile muppet is not in charge anymore.
