Coming Soon!

This is an interesting track, which has not been completed yet, in real life. It also has not been completed in Automation yet...I have the basic run completed, but some corners seem to be wonky as of right now. The track is currently under construction near Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, Kentucky. I found a lot of different measurements for the track, but in Google Earth it measures roughly 2 miles (numbers vary from 2.2-2.5 miles). If anyone else can find definitive measurements, post it up! For now I am working with 3272m. And in case you were wondering, that is a 975m (3200 feet) front straight!



Driving video at Bluegrass Motorsports Park


And, yes, I am going to work on Road Atlanta some more as well.

I did a drone fly over at Bluegrass Motorsports Park, a few weeks ago and you can see where water runoff is flowing over the track in some of the corners.

I am looking for other places to do drone fly overs, let me know if you have any ideas.
My current drone is very portable and fits in my motorcycle top case. I am running First Person View (FPV) so I can fly this over a mile away and still see what the onboard camera sees.

I believe the official distance is 4023 meters.

If that can be confirmed, I will change mine. I can't really find an absolute answer. I found numerous articles talking about it, and they all mention different lengths. It also doesn't seem like the track will ever be finished IRL. There are extra things in the articles, which are not present in the ariel shots. I even found an illustration which included almost double the current physical length, and an additional 4-5 configurations vs the 3 in the ariel.

On the official site, it gives 3 lengths: 2.2 mi, 2.5 mi, and 3.54 mi.

About the completion of the track, I have read that it is halted due to sound restrictions in the area (source dubious), and there have not been any recent updates.

I have adjusted my track to 2.5 miles (4023m). Those are the same numbers I saw, but could not make heads or tails of which was right. 4km sounds good to me. hahaha

Now, if I could just get it to not go all wonky after the kickstand!!!
