Apologies if you downloaded a test version of a track on this list over the past week.
We had to reject:
Barbagallo 2013 -- There was a glaring problem if a car hit the wall at the last turn. The server would flash their model in the middle of the track. The slightly older 2006 version replaced it.
Brands Hatch SHIFT -- The track was too wide, textures were super bland and the colour palette of the grass and tarmac made it difficult to differentiate the edge of the circuit. Not a great version.
Hidden Valley -- There's a scratch made version in beta out there that several people liked (mostly the Swedes). In the end I felt it wasn't a good race track for this series. Maybe in future we'll revisit it.
Magny-Cours SCU -- All of us loved it, but it's kinda dangerous! The grass, grasscrete and gravel has all kinds of weird contours to get stuck on. For such a technical circuit, any little mistake would have ended in tears.
Snetterton 2005 -- Nothing wrong with the track, it's just boring. I'm sure the racing would be ok though. The modern track that we picked instead is really good and retains the best features of 2005.
