Speaking of ThunderCars, I hope we get a patch for it so we can drive tracks like Targa and IoM

[Michkov]

If we are talking tracks, a period accurate Nürburgring in all 4 variants. The original one is the post 71 with kerbs removed.

Car wise I'm still holding out on the pre war mod(s)

From what I read, the tarmac in 1967 wasn't the best in Kyalami. I think there was hot weather, too.
The track was resurfaced in 1968, and widened to make better racing. And I guess the circuit got a lot faster with that, too.

Yeah the tarmac was so abrasive Jack Brabham managed to wear out his tyres over the race distance. Plenty of vapor locked engines too, high altitude of the track would contribute to that as well as the high temperatures.

Seconded, I always wanted to see what they could do around Tandil.

[KARTM]

a good car 3d editor would be a good thing if we want to see more car editor in the future,theres a lot of topic on track editing but not on car editing , 3d0ED is  good for editing existing 3do but cant create new one  and 123do doenst seem to work with cars 3d0 , i dont have a clue what program car editor use .that would be a good Christmas gift for the whole GPL community and his future

Wouldn't an abrasive asphalt have more grip than a smooth one?

Yes, but it's also tearing chunks out of the tread. Especially if you slide the car a lot, like you want to do with those cars.Here is the report. It was Surtees btw not Brabham I've mixed them up apparently.https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/february-1967/14/grand-prix-south-africa

[Pete Gaimari]

Yes, I know it tears up tires. I'm trying to figure out why the times were so slow in 67. The asphalt sure wasn't it.

The single GREAT desire I have is to have new (or returning) drivers and GPL enthusiasts.

Sadly most of the quickest drivers, for example, abandoned the scene and I'd like all of them lapping me online.

Go to GPL repository and ask admin to let you in "independant automobiles" modding group

We have 50% of USAC 1967 already done

Project started in early 00s but it was abandoned after few years.

Than I discovered it in 2009 and took the helm. Got some momentum going and we made few cars more. Than project died again.

That we got it going again in 2013 and it died again in 2014

However the project yilded some magnificent tracks when Mr. Ginetto joined us such as Phoenix and Langhorne

And I still have Milwaukee in advanced beta state on my HD

So anybody who is willing to help is welcomed.

Join us and maybe we will have USAC 1967 in the forseeable future

I do want to try track creation, but I don't know where to start. I've downloaded some software and that's basically it. If someone can point me in the right direction that'd be nice.

My biggest wish is to have 1970 Can-Am cars. I wanna be able to drive the Chapparal 2J and just rip around the track in a giant vacuum cleaner.

Try with creating updates to the existing tracks. Since you mentioned Can-am maybe graphical updates for Laguna Seca would be good starting point.

Just looked at the tutorial and I needed the trk23dow.exe. I can't find that anywhere in that list. Does someone have a link to it? Just found out that trk23doz is the standard and I literally can't find a link for it, in fact, looking at the wiki a lot of tools are completely gone. Or they're outdated therefore not used. Is there not a single archive of everything that's needed to build a track?
