A great fast track, but why so underated?

People seldom muster up the same levels of passion, when referring to Zandvoort, as they do when talking about the likes of Monza, Nordschleife, Spa and other such circuits. I'm as guilty as anyone when it comes to focusing too heavily on these tracks at the expense of other less known, but often still great circuits. Zandvoort is one such circuit. The roller coaster nature of the course, gives it a really nice flow with plently of elevation changes. It is these characteristics that makes the racing so exciting and why, in my humble opinion, sim racers should hold Zandvoort with the same high regard as the aforementioned 'Classic' tracks.

 

Yeah there's quite a few like that. You trying to warm your front tyres up there or something?

 

No - it's probably just my erratic driving you're referring to.

 

I kinda agree on the track and the OP.
I'm don't like twisty circuits much.
Catalynia >>>>> every day than Magione ... haha.

But Zandvoort, I have to admit, is a nice track to drive.

 

The great thing about Zandvoort is, yes its twisty, but it's still fast. You can maintain high speeds throughout much of the circuit, a bit like Nordschleife, but obviously it's a lot less demanding. I think this is what makes it so special to me. But I must admit, I do like Catalunya quite a bit also.

 

And that Scheivlak...

 

I really like the layout but I think the laser scanned tracks have made me never want to drive on anything else again. literally unplayable

 

Hmm. mtlclutch - I'm sorry, but I fail to see how not being laser scanned renders the track 'unplayable'. Maybe a slight over reaction there on your part. I find it totally playable and extremely fun myself. Kunos follows a very high standard when it comes to the tracks they officially approve and are not in the habit of including unplayable tracks in their game, but everyone's entitled to their opinion. Of course it would be even better if it was laser scanned, but still love this version and the version in R3E, which I believe is also not laser scanned.

 

It doesn't need to be laser scanned to be accurate. It can be surveyed. A team can also obtained public surveying data, which often may not be as high resolution as desired, but sometimes it is.

 

If you dont get a flow on this track, its not that nice.
Overtaking is hard also, but that makes it interesting.

I love this track, hard to master - quite easy to learn.
To get the setup right due tyre temps not so easy.
On Nordschleife all tyres get warm, but dont overheat that easily.
