Are there any Solitude circuit fans out there? I was doing a bit of research today, comparing satellite images with a topographic map I found from 1952, and was surprised at how much the road layout seems to have changed between then and now.
Also very surprised to discover that the rFactor / GPL version is wildly inaccurate in lots of areas, least of which appears to be the start/finish straight
2018 satellite image:
GPL / rFactor version, with start/finish straight following the modern road:
Satellite image with 1952 topo map overlay:
And again, but with 1950s track map overlay:
It's quite clear where the track used to run, looking at the side roads and ghost image in the trees.
Even this topographic map from 1911 (before the wiggly road that follows the river was built) shows the S/F section quite clearly:
I find this stuff fascinating, and finding old maps like this makes it really hard not to attempt to make a more accurate version of the track for AC
