Title: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: Wiltshire Tony on May 12, 2020, 11:24:59 AM +0100 I would love to compile a list of driver's favourite tracks in GTL. It could form the basis of a future series.
If you can, could you list your favourite circuits. It might be a top 3, top 5, top 10 or just one. Thank you :thumbup1: Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: Wiltshire Tony on May 12, 2020, 11:41:49 AM +0100 to get the ball rolling.............
Goodwood Cadwell Park Lime Rock (no chicane) Salzburgring Bathurst '67 Crystal Palace Istanbul Kyalami (61-87) Lakeside Loch Rannoch Longford '67 Österreichring '76 Oulton Park (any) Pukekohe Riverside (any) Silverstone '70's Snetterton '64 Spa '67 Thruxton Watkins Glen '67 Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: Dimitar Dulichki on May 14, 2020, 07:25:34 PM +0100 1. Interlagos (Every Layout)
2. Dijon (All Layouts) 3. Brno (Modern Layout) 4. Kyalami (Old) 5. Sugo 6. Aida (Modern) 7. Enna (Modern) 8. Istanbul Park (F1) 9. Bahrain (F1) 10. Abu Dhabi (F1) 11. Indianapolis (2006 F1) And i want to see some night races aswell. And the most important think is the combination between car and track. You cant choose the Minis at Monza for example. Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: Dominick on May 14, 2020, 11:02:18 PM +0100 This would be an easy list to make if I could post mental images. Lacking that opportunity as well as a memory for names and years, I came up with this:
Targa Florio :D Circuit de la Sarthe (must have Porsche curves, must NOT have Mulsanne chicanes) Spa-Franchorchamps (version with bus stop on the left) Nordschleife (also VLN) Monaco Nemuno Žiedas Circuit du Mas du Clos Laguna Seca Zandvoort Knockhill Bridgehampton Lime Rock Park Watkins Glen (NO Inner Loop) Willow Springs Hidden Valley österreichring (absolutely NOT the A1-Ring) Oran Park Raceway Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: Wiltshire Tony on May 15, 2020, 12:30:49 AM +0100 This makes for interesting reading, please keep them coming.
I'm very sad Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: SpecialKS on May 15, 2020, 08:13:16 AM +0100 Hi Tony,
looks like we both have much the same favorites: Goodwood Cadwell Park Lime Rock (no chicane) / Lime Rock Mountain Bathurst Bathurst '67 Oulton Park (longest layout) Pukekohe Silverstone '70's Snetterton '64 Spa '67 Nordschleife 60/70 Monza 60/70 LeMans 60 MidOhio (VLM) (list to be completed) Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: phspok on May 15, 2020, 11:17:51 AM +0100 Oulton Park, (Original, not the ones with chicanes)
Charade, modern or original Cadwell Donington (National only, hate GP variant) Interlagos (any) Silverstone (original) EDIT: Suzuka Elkhart Lake Rouen (prefer original) Nordschliefe + any tracks with long straights and no corners, so we can keep up with H Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: Wiltshire Tony on May 15, 2020, 11:36:20 AM +0100 You cant choose the Minis at Monza for example. I can! I think the KAD Mini's would be a blast at Monza KAD Mini Cooper S Download this (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=3358.msg54520#post_mini_cooper_s_kad_works) Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: EvilClive on May 15, 2020, 11:58:34 AM +0100 Back from the surgery and browsing through the forum, feeling a little sore but otherwise OK. Not sure when I will be behind the wheel again as I have to avoid exertion with my left arm, which might be a little difficult as I run FF quite high for realism. Maybe in a few days the bruising will subside ?
Interesting topic Tony, but as has been said I find it is not just the circuit, but the car/circuit combination that produces favourites. Most of my favourite tracks have already been listed. The only one I have not seen is Monaco older versions ( have just checked and I see that Dominick has already got that one ;)). I quite like street circuits with saloons and older cars. TBH Tony, I do enjoy discovering/learning new tracks as it keeps things fresh. If we always drove the same strips of tarmac it could get quite boring, but you do a fine job of varying the menu. :thumbup1: Monaco Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: Wiltshire Tony on May 15, 2020, 12:15:25 PM +0100 Back from the surgery and browsing through the forum, feeling a little sore but otherwise OK.

You could always attend races just to spectate, up to you, no pressure ;)Interesting topic Tony, but as has been said I find it is not just the circuit, but the car/circuit combination that produces favourites.

Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: Wiltshire Tony on May 15, 2020, 12:17:02 PM +0100 Guy's please add your choices even if someone else has the track listed. Remember I'm looking for duplicates etc.
Otherwise I won't be able to tally which are the most asked for. Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: Geoffers on May 15, 2020, 03:58:55 PM +0100 A few from me, in groups.
Default GTL Dijon GP Donington (either) Mondello (great for small engine cars) Nürburgring GP Spa (although I prefer current track rather than default busstop) British tracks Anglesey Brands Hatch GP Cadwell Croft Goodwood American tracks Heartland Park Laguna Seca Road America Road Atlanta Sebring (prefer modern track to the old one) Modern tracks Brno Istanbul Portimao Sepang Silverstone 2011 Period tracks Charade Le Mans (like Dom with Porsche Curves, without chicanes) Nordschleife Solitude Spa 60s plus lots more! A few others Hilltop Club (fantasy) Kyalami (new & old) Montjuich Suzuka Toban (fantasy) There are loads more that I have loved, many of which I have only driven once & can't remember the name of!!!!! ::) Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: Hristo Itchov on May 16, 2020, 07:44:15 PM +0100 Tracks that don't have too long straights, in general, unless we drive them in very powerful cars.

Interesting, but not entirely relevant in this thread. Track names are what we desire here.Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: Daz9 on May 17, 2020, 07:59:49 PM +0100 Could end up with a very long list so I'll try to keep it brief....
Been so long I can't remember all the names, but these stood out for me for a variety of reasons, either the track was interesting in it's own right or the racing there was always entertaining. Donington Brands Hatch GP Watkins Glen Spa Portimao Assen Mugello Rattlesnake Park Hilltop Moirana Aragon Zandvoort Road America Pace Park Montreal Albert Park Silverstone I will admit it's been so long since I was a regular that I've forgotten a lot of the places we raced at over the 12 odd years at NoGrip, so this list is by no means exhaustive. Had fun remembering though :D Special note for Dom, no Targa or Le Mans on my list, plus ca change mon ami..... ;D Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: Geoffers on May 18, 2020, 08:47:03 AM +0100 Can I add another shout for Rattlesnake Park, excellent track, well remembered Daz. :thumbup1:
Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: Wiltshire Tony on May 18, 2020, 10:29:48 AM +0100 Thanks for your input Daz, very much appreciated :thumbup1:

I did say it had been a while...... :) No problem Tony, happy to chip in in some small way. There are more but I would need to go through my old replays directory that I kept, and I would have to find it first..... Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: Geoffers on May 18, 2020, 03:49:44 PM +0100 Yeh, I have loads of tracks which I have car setups for that I just cannot remember. Probably only ever raced them once at NG or GC & have no idea if I liked them or loathed them just by the name. There were certainly some which I must have thought were brilliant.
One or two others that I can now remember or omitted before. St Jovite Virginia International Raceway Birubi Southern Cross Thermalito Phillip Island Eastern Creek Autopolis Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: Wiltshire Tony on May 18, 2020, 05:05:32 PM +0100 Please Geoffers, no more, I beg you, no more :helpsmilie:
Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: Geoffers on May 18, 2020, 05:25:23 PM +0100 Please Geoffers, no more, I beg you, no more :helpsmilie: Doh, only had another 246 on my list too. ;D Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: Dominick on May 18, 2020, 06:14:25 PM +0100 Special note for Dom, no Targa or Le Mans on my list, plus ca change mon ami..... ;D There are actually a lot more tracks I once almost lapped you at Goodwood of all places. ;D Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: Erling G-P on May 20, 2020, 05:35:01 PM +0100 With very few exceptions, I'm terrible at remembering specific tracks, good or bad. In general like flowing tracks with fast curves & elevation changes. In general hate everything from Tilke ;)
Some tracks I do remember and like (in no particular order): Porto Le Mans - with or without chicanes on Mulsanne Nürburgring Nordschleife Schottenring Sachsenring Targa Florio Montjuich park Imola Donington Park (National) - like Matt, I hate the GP variant Laguna Seca 1958-87 Kyalami '70 Spa '67 - if it's a crazy fast car...

Track names are what we desire here.I know, I just can't compile a list, as I don't remember the names of most of the tracks I've driven over the years. I don't want to list only the tracks I remember because it wouldn't be a honest list. Would have been easier if we had a list of tracks to choose from. ;D I'll list a few, but not 12, if that's OK: :P Nordschleife Donington Dijon Cadwell Oulton Park Laguna Seca Crystal Palace Bridgehampton Title: Re: Your favourite GTL tracks Post by: phspok on May 21, 2020, 05:36:43 PM +0100 Oh yes of course.

Goodwood 2011Silverstone 2005 Brands Hatch Donninngtonn Park (both) Oulton Park Mallory Park Cadwell Park Thruxton Knockhill Snetterton 2006 Monaco Le Mans Laguna Seca Road America There are a lot of tracks on other lists I have never tried so I look forward to trying some of them.

A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to list out so many tracks. I hadn't expected such a great response :notworthy: WT |
