Latest Le Mans 1972-1986 Comments

For those who have problems with the WSC1970 mod just think that there is not any problem with any other mod and you will easily find who is faulty The track is OK but Rfactor's AI doesn't deal very well with "soap mods"

I'm using this track for WSC 1970 because it is a great track. It is one of the best tracks I've seen in rFactor. When I started using this track for the WSC 1970 mod, the AI cars did crash a lot of times. In the beginning the even couldn't find their way to the track! But after practicing a lot (WSC1970 cars aren't easy to drive), not only my own driving became better, but also the driving from the AI cars! They can find their way know, and only crash incidentally.

What is wrong with this track's curbstones.Even the slightest touch makes you spin off,and if you drive over them with half of the car you get stuck.I use the circuit with the Endurance Series mod but get the feeling this track wasn't designed for these newer cars.

Fantastic track ! Great job.

The AI behaviour of that mod on this track really is very weird indeed. And if they survive Mulsanne Corner and Indianapolis, then they always overcook the entry to the Porsche Curves. After 25 minutes of practice, there are no AI cars left undamaged.

Je confirme : les voitures se plantent à Mulsanne + en partie à Indianapolis. Dommage car le circuit VirtuLM ET le mode Championat du Monde 1970 sont exceptionnels! Merci pour ces 2 oeuvres d'art. :-)

Same problem here with the WSC mod. Pretty annoying.
by Dutch_F1_fan on 08-Jul-09

Not sure if I should ask this on the track forum, but using WSC 1970 on this track the AI always crash at Mulsanne corner and sometimes park there forever. ANyone else have this problem? I presume it's an AI problem but the comments on WSC 1970 can't be accessed at the minute due to an error message...can anyone help? This track is absolutely superb by the way. Beautifully drawn. You nailed all the advertising signs, that must have been difficult.
