Here's a fresh new "test" version of Road Atlanta, built from scratch by me and my friends; Google Maps and Google Images LOL. Although it's still in development, it should still be quite raceable and enjoyable. This release is mostly to point out major design issues (non graphical stuff), plus I don't have any more time to finish it any time soon and I want everyone to be able to enjoy it, rather than it just sitting on my hard drive.
Im taking GREAT care in adding every possable detail to the road surface, and painstakingly creating the track shape and elevation to match that of the real track. This project is open for criticism (dont worry, I wont get upset) and Id especially appriciate any real-world input from people who have raced the real track anough to know it very well.
Known Issues:
1) There are holes around some outer parts of the track, but there shouldnt be any that affect racing.
2) The sky is always in daytime mode, the stock skies I tried didnt work for some reason.
3) It has a "working aiw", but the AI is still a little slow in some sections.
4) the elevations were just finished and I wish they are perfact but I know there is still room for improvment.

RACE@RFC Note: Thanks to Thunderchild for making the work he is doing on Road Atlanta available for the Toyota Atlantics Championship

Heres a look at the latest build of the track.

Ive added in a lot of detail to the track and correcting a few inaccuracies with the track surface and wall distances from the track.
Ive also been playing around with SLN's and Thunder Child's textures, and the track objects that Thunder Child and The Lonely made.
The cameras, night lights, track surface, AI lines, etc are all polished up and ready for action, Im just deciding what main track textures to use and cleaning things up a little.
has there been a new file loaded as im having the same problem which is a shame as this track is one of my favourites and the screenshots look great but just cant get the track to work, any help would be greatly Appreciated. many thanks

Very promising work, its raceable as it is, but I'm sure it will be one of the favorites when finished!
Keep up the good work

I am. I still can't believe Panoz put that bus stop in at turn 10. Nothing like ripping down the back straight to build big speed to brake while climbing the hill; to top it off (literally) turn 11 "the bridge turn" had a blind apex and if you were just a snicker too late you took a wild ride over the whoopdie-dos between the track and the pit exit.
The SCCA Runoffs hasn't been as good since 1992 the last year at Altanta.

Is anyone interested in the old layout from the 80's? Would be great to have once Proto-C comes out!!!
by Stiner0931 on 14-Jan-10
@chriscreative, this is the ALMS layout. They added an alternate layout in the esses for motorcycle racing but ALMS still uses the old layout.
@zaxor0, T12 has been the same for a long time. The outer curb changed a little but the actual track stayed the same. Make sure you downloaded the RACE@RFC version. It is newer and uses GPS data for the layout.

I'm new to rFactor but I am glad to see Road Atlanta here! I have driven it (20 or so hours of track time) but that was in 2008. I know when I drove it they had changed turn 12, but I don't know if that wasin 2008 or 2007. Anyways I have something that might help, pictures from a single lap (in first person).
One Lap Around Road Atlanta
I have some others, all 3rd person, that I could upload if it would also help. I think I know where I can find a video of a lap too, I can do some looking.

Or maybe just the XFINISH.GMT file? Would be easyer
by CapitanulHaos on 23-Oct-09
I can't play this track, the reason is already posted a few comments below "Error loading mesh file XFINISH.GMT to memory" It seems Internet Explorer did not work for me, also tryed Firefox and Opera none of them work.
Can anyone post an alternative link to this track? (the 56MB version)
Pretty please, thank you
