Kinja'd!!!

But I’m not sure where exactly in Belgium. Like, somewhere with rolling hills and the residents are fine with having a racecourse, and also has a beautiful name.

To become an FIM Grade A circuit, because Zolder’s boring and Spa’s a fucking death wish on a GP17. Thrilling, yes, but dude.

Also, MotOPPO GP coming soon anytime today.

France is too saturated . There’s like 40 circuits in France, it’s not like they’re short on venues.

I’m still waiting for one of the major driving sims to include a track builder, I don’t understand why that isn’t a thing. Drag and drop from a big list of track sections and adjust the height difference between each section manually...

Good luck with that. Here in east bumble Georgia people bought houses built 40 years after Road Atlanta was built, close to the racetrack. They want it shutdown. They moved in knowing full well there was a racetrack nearby.

How about Northern Wisconsin. We could use a few racetracks with more than two turns.

Malvoisin would be pretty ironic if you want good neighbours.

Gran Turismo has a track maker, but it only works on tablets unless you got an APK and it’s got just three environments. The actual track maker, however, is excellent.

Still, it would be nice to have a painter-based track editor where you can draw runoff and barriers, too, as well as vary track width, and a street circuit maker based on satellite data where you trace a line, designate start/finish and there you go.

What a dumb thing. Then again, real estate people start this schtick...

Eh, whatever. Besides, I think the Belgians are better than that, and there’s always a town who would like to make their mark.

hmmm makes me wonder if devs don’t explore that idea on purpose because it would hurt track DLC sales

I was thinking somewhere near Antwerp, actually, but then that’s me forgetting the reason why I’m building a Grade A track on a small town.

How do I balance it out? I need a constant influx of potential audience, but then that place may not have track-worthy elevation. Then again, most towns would not want a noise maker within 100 miles of their place, so...

Not a lot of elevation to be had there either. Somewhere around Brussels might be a better bet.
