I had wanted to use the Daytona road course for this, but frankly the quality just isn't up to scratch. This track is a bit of an unknown quantity, but it should be good fun in the slower cars...

Hmm.. Seems i was getting random track cutting warnings as i passed the start/finish line. I think it could be that if you go too near the track edge as it passes the end of the pits on the LH side. Though i never crossed the track width line it might be getting a bit confused. Also the tight righthander, the first Rh'er at the top of the first rise, the car gets thrown around with the back and front ends struggling for grip as though the track surface isnt uniform. Not sure how thats going to work when the tyres start wearing and losing grip.
Seems very low grip, and with some off camber corners, especially the one at the top of the hill, over the crest is going to be interesting.

Only did one lap in radical around here which put me off straight away. Drop your resolution and squint and it'll be about right It just feels pretty 'coarse', the elevation changes could be smoother, there are sudden changes where the car get unsettled.

Rephrase: smooth surfaces also exist in minor extent.

I'm having problems with this track online. First time I installed it I went outta pits the wrong way and the pc locked up on me. Restarted it and everytime I tried to reload an old setup, from another track, or try to go on track I get a CTD to desktop. Un-installed it and re-installed the track and its still CTD's when doing the same. Tried it in a couple of different cars with the same result. Maybe fault at my end of course, it seems to work fine offline, but I've not suffered anything like this before.
p.s. just noticed that when I join server I can't enter chat or move it onto next session even though I'm the only one there. If thats relevant.

Yep, definitely something wrong here. Tried a couple of times and no CTD, but game nothing happening when I click drive. Track works fine offline.

I am having problems this this track on line too. I cant click the drive option, its always red as if the session has ended. 1st time I tried I could not change any setup options either. It just had a white line going diagonally across the garage menu screen. Tried a minute ago with a different car and could see change my setup options but still not able to click on race and join the track. Seems to work fine off line.

Like they said - next best track please. Most people would be familiar with Mid-Ohio or Barber or Laguna or Oulton or Snetterton (or even Monaco if you fancy no overtaking in a duel class race ). Shame though, because Infineon is a fun track.
