Monza Junior Layout - Modern - Advent Day 7
I was approached by somebody to see if it was a possibility to add a chicane to the parabolica corner on Monza. To re-create the junior layout from 2004, but with a more modern look to it. Well, the answer to that is "of course!" So, for Day 7 of Advent, here is the layout files, so you can experience this for yourselves. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WH-cRkkab6cxNt2gqv47R0d3z0xRgNjf/view?usp=sharingDrag and drop into content manager and it should install as a layout for Monza for ...
Crest Da Cauras 2.0 - Advent Day 6
Hey all, Day 6! Today I have an update of Crest Da Cauras – my fictional circuit set in the swiss alps. Development of this track wasn’t really going the way I wanted it to, so I have spent some time stripping back a lot of the assets and ‘starting again’.

Lots of changes, too many to list as it’s quite a re-work. Trac...
Thermalito Winter Skin - Advent Day 5
To continue with the theme from day 4, for day 5 there is a winter skin for Thermalito. This adds a snowy look around the track. Disables the 3D trees, and replaces them with snowy 2D ones, changes the Arnie billboard and a few other things. While this could have been done as seasonal adjustments, I prefer to use track skins, as I know what I am doing with those! Also, it gives me the opportunity to update the tracks lighting etc. (not done in this case, but potentially in the future etc) To ins...

Ferrari 312B - Historic Sim Studios - Advent Day 3
As part of the collaboration revealed in Day 1 of the advent calendar, I am very excited to share the Historic Sim Studios Ferrari 312B (1970).

Modena 1970 - Advent Day 1
So, as promised only a few minutes ago, here's a look at the in-development track, Autodromo di ModenaReferences for the track are quite hard to pin down, so this for now at least is kind of an amalgimation of the late 1960's and 1970.

Las Vegas 3.2
In a slight schedule re-shuffle I have spent the last few days working on Vegas again... This time, finally using the real circuit for reference! Up until now I have only had access to the circuit maps and renders that have been released. But now real onboard footage exists, and many photos from all around the track are available online. This has meant a lot of things needed to change from my version of the circuit to make it match the real one a bit better. Here's the link!https://drive.goo...

Thermalito 2023 Release Preview
Hey everyone, I am excited to share with you all the first chance to drive Thermalito 2023! This is by no means the ‘complete’ version. There are still areas where the surrounding scenery needs work, The track ‘feel’ is not final either. Here is the download link.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DI1Yw-eg828Xrs3-lUa5Nt9nJmTsYo77/view?usp=sharing However, there is lots to take in here, from the layout itself, to the Dam, the surrounding water, custom pit buildings. Lots has been completed!...
Thermalito 2023 Development Progress.
For those who are unaware, I'm working working with Daniel Finney of the DDF Racer Youtube Channel on bringing a track he has designed to life. The circuit is based on real roads, with some slightly imagineitive inerpretation. The layout for the track crosses through the Thermalito hydroelectric dam, not once but twice on two different layouts. This project has been a blast to work on so far. It's quite different from what I usually do. As you'll have seen I basically make real track...

Las Vegas 2023 - Details Update
Hey, third (and final) track of the day, so your email inboxes should get a rest after this! Here's an update for Vegas, performance should be a bit better now, although still it's rough i'll admit. There's just so much going on with all of the casinos and lights that optimizing this beast of a track is proving to be a challenge. As the race approaches, I hope to get one more update out to improve those FPS even more though, so keep your eyes peeled!Download https://drive.google....

It's a departure from the 'serious racetracks' you're used to from me, but sometimes a lit...
MSR - Houston v2
Hey Everyone, first of todays tracks is a slight revision to MSR. Not much has changed, but it now has the CCW layout which was requested by a few people in the comments on the last release!Other than that, I fixed the normals on some of the walls so they work better in sunlight, and reduced the polycount of the pylons in the distances for better peformance. I think, given recent feedback I still need to make the track surface rougher though, please give me your feedback in the comments section,...

MSR - Houston v1
Now for the second track for today, we have MSR Houston. This is a surprise addition to the release schedule, I forgot that I made it, as it had a window of exclusivity where I couldn’t share it, then the track got bought up in conversation, and I was like ‘yeah I’ve done that one…’ so here it is! So it’s quite basic, but in real life, so is the current track. The kerbs have been re-made over the last few days to be more accurate to the real version of this track, however, I have n...
