Lotus Test Track - The Lotus Test Track in Hethel, Norfolk

Originally the site served as an airfield to squadrons of the U.S. 8th Air Force during World War 2 from 1942 to 1945.

Hello guys,

I made this track very quickly in 1 afternoon from Google maps and videos on youtube simply for the purpose of learning it for a track day the next day. I thought I'd upload it for anyone else who is interested in the track layout. It is the first track I've made simply because I couldn't find anyone else who had made the layout before, and I had no intentions with regards to decorations other than somewhat accurately recreating the track layout so I could learn it. Prehaps in the future I'll work on it more, fix the gravel traps, and update the trackside objects and maybe some buildings.

Thanks to anyone who has enjoyed the track for what it is
