I agree with Marcel. We should of course have smaller tracks like Monaco and Putnam Park in our championship. It's not only about fighting your opponent, but also the track, like they did back in the days. It's not that hard to drive (read: not impossible). You just drive it like your F2 previous season, not using more throttle than possible, and take advantage of more horsepower on the short straights only :
Same goes for Putnam Park but it actually has a quite long straight. I think it's absolutely possible to have a race here. Think about how many drivers retired races in the 60's. Sometimes it was only 4-6 drivers out of 20 finishing the race. Mostly because of car failures, but in our case maybe because of crashing into the mediterranean sea...
I'm no fan of Lime Rock however, just a few medium/high speed corners with no good overtaking possibilities. Neither I'm a fan of Palm Beach or Texas. Palm must be the most boring track in rF2, together with Mills, and I know some will agree. Therefor I ask you to replace it, if enough people agree (?).
The new Nordschleife is unfortunately impossible to include as it is now, with no pits (?), no starting and finishing lines, no green lights or flags. I'd love to have it included though... If I was an experienced modder, I'd ask for permission to remove all railings, remove the painting from the track, add the old start/finish straight with a fresh (old) pit building and grandstands to make it a 60's track. Anyway, a Nordschleife is a must, so the 'old' one is probably the best choice.
Great choices: Kyalami and Zolder. Spa and Brianza are natural, and Monaco too.
IMO we should replace Palm Beach with something more fun. Also Texas and Lime Rock. But that depends on if anyone else agree? I guess many likes Texas, so this might be just a desperate attempt from my side to have it removed ??? :
Longford 67 is a MUST if it's released in time and works well enough! (maybe it's possible to replace a track during the season if it's released later?)
