Porsche Test Track Leipzig

Hey, guys!

Ever since T3ED was released, I used to play a little bit with it. Adding crappy alternative routes to EA tracks or altering little details in addon tracks that bothered me was what I did with it all the time. Since about 2010, every now and then when I felt like editing a track, I began a big project.
What started this was, there was somebody who told me, it would be impossible to recreate a race track for NFS:HS that would resemble an actually existing one. Too complicated would be matching AI lines, proportions, details, etc. As far as I know, except for a medium quality done Daytona, there is no such track for HS.

What I want to present to you now is a project, that is as mentioned going on for four years, which I am going to be working on every now and then, Porsche's Test Track in Leipzig. Basically, this track is a mashup of the most famous corners of race tracks around the world, to allow Porsche proper tests of their cars and customers a lap of their lifetime. I haven't been there personally yet, I will visit it some time. However, out of the mentioned comment that I took as challenge and boredom, I took Raceway 3 in T3ed and started squeezing, bending, dragging and pushing the track in the correct shape. Then, I began deleting lots of things except for the road itself, and rebuild the scenery. I had no Idea how much work that would be.
The track shape is as accurate as it could be done with T3ed, reference for it was taken off Google Maps. Whenever I will make some significant progress on this, aside of RSR and F-Body projects, I will post it here.

As you know, I love teasing you, so I will share these three images with you for now:







Stay tuned. Learn more about Porsche Leipzig here.

Great stuff.

b.t.w. what's F-body projects? F-body refers to the '90 GM cars like Camaro/Firebird doesn't it.Sounds odd for a Porsche freak.

nfsfan83 was not involved in this ;)
I have looked at his tracks and we have a very different style of building them.
I'm rather a co-admin on NFSCars than a moderator.


@noise: with F-Body projects, i'm talking about projects that refer to my signature ;)

Oh I see, what does F means than? F-body faction (Mecha/Azrael) were the makers of those Firebird/Camaro's years ago.

Freak-DS

F-Body is the GM platform developed and used from the sixties until the 90s for the camaros and firebirds. The F-Body-Faction is condensed madness centering around these models, once building them for NFS 4.

I used Raceway 3 as base and went from there. Here are some evolution steps after bending it to the basic shape:



If I had used something of you, nfsfan, then I would credit you ;)

So you were involved in those nfs4 Camaro/Firebirds from F body faction than, I had no idea. Your website doesn't mention that. I thought ''F body faction'' was/is: Azrael, mecha, Shake, Kracka, DanR

Pretty much my reaction, my god, that is some dedication to accuracy. Quite impressed so far.  :o

The real circuit is a fascinating thing too, I have to admit I didn't know of it before one of your screens appeared on he SOTD. Once this is done, it sounds like a great circuit to compare lap times. ;)

I wonder what happens when you enter this track with a non-Porsche...
