This is a circuit that is currently under construction in real life - so there may well be inaccuracies to the finished track, however I aim to do another revision of this circuit when there are actually on-board videos of real cars driving the track so I can gather better references. For now this is made up from the promotional materials, renders and plans of the track. So hopefully it's not t...

Version 2 of Sebring 1960's, this track is still in the process of getting the track mesh, and circuit layout correct - which is proving to be quite the task!

Hi Everyone,
Just a quick update on the progress with Spring Mountain. Sadly, not quite ready for a download link – but definitely close! I expect to have it ready in a week or so. Then while that’s being tested, I will continue with the Sebring changes and have that ready shortly after.
When I’m doing small changes / tweaks to a track that is mostly made, it is a lot easier t...

Hi Everyone.
On the spring mountain website they list loads of layouts for the tracks. For all of these to be included in the first release is a bit too much of an undertaking, especially when they might need to be changed etc as the track model evolves with your feedback.
If I did on...

Happy weekend everyone.
This week I have a small but substantial update to thunderhill. Changelog is below.
I want to get thee track surface 100% right before spending the time doing the AI for all of the layouts. So the AI in version 7 is the same as it was in previous releases.
Remember if you dont yet have the PerPixelMultimap shader you will need to download an...

Hey all,
Seattle is taking me a fair bit longer to complete than anticipated so I’ve decided to release it as it is for now. There’s still a lot of work to be done on things like the lights at night – there’s some texture glitches etc as well. But one thing I’m really interested in is how well this performs on other people’s PCs. As the original version of Seattle that I ma...
Hi All,
I've taken the last couple of days to apply some of the lessons I've learned overhauling the Seattle Circuit, to Anglesey. Seattle will be out soon, it's just a lot more complex with all of the buildings etc.
Here we now have all 4 versions, all running AI.
Updated graphics, better performance.
The track mesh has been modified slightly to be more true to life,...
Thunderhill V6 is finally here, a lot of work has gone into this, and the changelog is massive. Once again thank you so much for everybody that has given feedback and captured images, done videos all sorts of things, your help really makes the difference!

Hi everyone,
As promised here is v1 of Oregon Raceway Park, it's a super fun track to drive, it's currently set up with two layouts, clockwise and anti-clockwise, what are people preferences for the shorter layouts? As it's V1 expect some issues, for example I've just spotted a floating break marker, and powerline cable.

A quick update on this one, as I received some feedback on the track layout recently so have done some fixes. This is still a fair way from being finished so don't judge too harshly!
Added several buildings, trees, barriers, signs etc.
Re profiled the last corner and start finish to fix large bumps that aren't as obvious in real life.

Hi Everyone, back again with another significant update to Thunderhill today.
Some quite exiting features in here, the track now fully supports the CSP night features. With the newly added Paddock Tower using the light system to come alive at night.
If this version doesn't load you will need an additional shader. This allows for certain parts of certain textures to em...

Here's a new track that's being done as part of a commission. The client has allowed this track to be shared on my Patreon feed, so you will get the finished version too, however it is undecided as to whether it will get a public release.

Anyway, here we go, this version of Thunderhill builds on the previous release, except the track mesh has been refined in key areas to make it more accurate to the lidar data. You can see in the image (highlighted ...
Hi Guys, as a side project I wanted to be the first person to build the newly announced Jeddah Street Circuit - I took the day off work to try and manage to build the whole track in a day... so yes it's rushed, and therefore I don't deem it worthy of being part of my main content on here, it was more of a PR exercise really, to be the first to get it done y'know?

Hey Everyone,
A quick update to Wild Horse to get it ready for release.
Only slight modifications, fixed a few graphics bugs, added lights for nighttime / evening driving.
I'll make this public in a few days, but as usual all of my supporters get it first. So please try it out and I hope you enjoy it.
