My Name is John Briggs. Steve and I worked on Baskerville for Nascar 04. We never meet, just emails. Even though we live in the same state, im shocked and sadend to hear he has passed away. There has been far to many car crashes on the hwy he died on. His name will live on. Rest in peace, Bud.

Vote H.O.F. guys, not only is this track made by the best, it is fun as hell, challenging and fast. Not to mention it has meaning. This is by far one of the best fantasy tracks to date.
Thx MC

Brilliant, superb, fantastic and great fun. Ah...I really like it.
Wonder if a real life track like this would be any good? I think so, but as I'm not a racer or designer I could be wrong.
I think it would be a very interesting track though.

Hello Mr. Madcowie,
I just donated some money to you as you are a good human being with a kind heart sir. If you could possibly pass that on to Mrs. Whitty, that would be wonderful.
If you do not have the means to do that, than please take the money and spend on you and your family.
Whatever happens to it, I will still feel like I did the right thing.
Thanks very much for all you do for us Stuart.

Love your work Mate haven't tried this track as don't really like the look of it although I'm sure the work is first class.
What I would love to see is a shorter version of your greyhound track it's just a bit to long to race on ( online ) as cars get spread out a little.
We use a lot of your great tracks in our racing leagues Clawhammer is a favourite used many times has a bit of everything fast corners some undulation places to out brake thx for the great work.
cheers

Really enjoyed this track, thanks. Very nice. As a feedback of what could be better IMO I think is the texture of the skyboxi (buildings etc). They are in contrast with the overall beautiful textures of the track and the objects. Thanks again.

Thank you guys, it means alot. I know since Steves death his wife has been moved by the internets comments towards his work and ambitiion.
Also guys we are all entitled to an opinion so if someone things its boring and crap I dont care. Yeah constructive critism is alot better to read but Ive been doing this for long enough now to realize that you cant please everyone.
By the way I do also think that this track can be dull in the wrong car. When I designed the track I generally did most of the test runs in a V8 as I always wanted it be suitable for this type of car. But one thing I did learn was alot of the corners felt very similar and shared similar speeds. Lets take for example the banked bend in the T section. Well this corner in a V8 is 3rd or 4th gear I believe and a million miles away from flat out despite givng it having lots of banking. So I pulled out of the bag the good old GSMF Porsche and this track becomes alot more varied. The two cars share similar lap times due to the v8s top speed but the porsche more than makes up for it in the corners. I tried this track with a number of different cars in the end and one corner felt very special in all the cars. The corner after the 360 degree corner where you cross the track. This corner was pretty much made by pure accident and dare I say it but probably bad modelling!! :) But it was one corner I wasnt going to change. Every lap it was a pleasure to drive this corner. Basically throw the car as close to the wall as possible and get some air and then catch the slide. The AI also do exactly same through this section. So for me my favourite 3 corners on this track and it has enough of them are Turn 1, The Banked T corner and one of my favourite corners of all time is the corner after the 360.
I did learn also that this track isnt very good in any open wheeler and I was also expecting it be good fun in some of lower power cars but that didnt turn out to be the case either.
Anyway thanks for reading my waffle and keep commenting as I read them all.
Stuart

Sorry for the death of Steve Whitty.
But, this track is very, very long and very. very boring. Sorry but just MY opinion. well done on making it - but OMFG it's a snooze-fest.

Just an idea.....Could this be separated to include, for example, the last T could be a Go-Kart track and the Y could be a Dirt track, purely so EVERYONE could race on a part of this amazing track.?

Really great track and tribute.
Only had to follow AI a few times to find out were to go and that transition bump on the racing line gave me a real surprise. Spun out big time, but now I know where it is. ;^)
A lot of fun and some great racing to be had on this one!

Awesome track, but really does need more guidance as to where to go as I wound up getting lost and black flagged.

really good track, some more boundaries would be good, get confused as to which way to turn sometimes, but all in all, really quite good.

Madcowie, this is once again another show of your devotion and hard work to honor someone who also dedicated a lot of passion, work and love for the sim racing community. You're simply the best and I think all of us have to feel proud of this track and to honor the life of a great man.
