New event: which spa version do you prefer?

Next championship race: Spa Francorshamps.
We do have 2 options for this track:
Spa Francorshampsp - 2001 Layout (old track from converted from gp4)
Spa 2010 - Full Gp (new track converted from GTL)

Which one do you prefer?
This poll will be running for 3 days so everyone could try the 2 tracks and decide on it.
We will pick up the track with more votes.

just a note for people with no gtl cd check

the second link of download has no cd check so download the second link if you have not the gtl dvd

I would prefer the lighter version for hardware, having seen a lot of people facing a lot of problems with low FPS in the last race....

La riflessione di Fabio la condivido pienamente, si opti per la pista meno graficamente pesante.
Ciao

Io preferisco Spa 2010

sicuramente Spa 2010....!!!!

2010 più facile.
Una domanda: alla prima curva dopo la partenza è permesso uscire a sx del cordolo per poi rientrare?

No corner-cutting allowed
Rule9:Corner-cutting is not allowed. The rule is that drivers must have two wheels touching (in any way) or be exactly vertically above the track at any time during the lap.
The white lines defining the track edges are considered to be part of the track but the kerbs are not and. Where a kerb extension is present, the kerb i is considered part of the track.
A driver will be judged to have left the track if no part of the car remains in contact with the track.
Should a car leave the track for any reason, and the driver may rejoin. However, this may only be done when it is safe to do so and without gaining any advantage.
Repetition of serious mistakes or the appearance of a lack of control over the car will be penalized.

i hope there will be no cutting at the top left side of eau rouge too

2010 it is?

difficult to decide .. .
Overall I like the good old layout from GP4 more, it is maybe more fun regarding the pure racing-feel. It has also reflecting sun on the track (the new one does not and looks a bit dead maybe)
and the corner passages are driveable in a more fluend way, also the pit-exit is better with the old layout since you have not to slow down that much there like a winding worm to get through it ,
but you have to be careful in the Eau Rouge, because the track converter has set a barrier on the left on its exit to avoid going wide there .

The new Spa 2010 has some little bumps here and there.., but those are not a problem when driving. But it has and a quite better FPS performance !!, I get a bit less FPS with the old Spa 2001 (I think the old one has more polygones, that's why it requires a bit more graphic capacity), but though the average framerate is less than with the new Spa 2010, the framerate is nevertheless a quite stable one that is 140 all around.

new layout of spa seems have a different camber in corner....
no preference for me (vote for new layout...doh) but driving on old layout is a little more exciting...

Ma in questo caso non è un taglio in quanto si allunga la traiettoria, quindi se dovesse capitare, per evitare incidenti bisogna lasciare la posizione?

Non è un taglio ma in ogni caso la traiettoria è più larga quindi più veloce, per cui si trae un certo vantaggio, per cui se con quella manovra si sorpassa
un concorrente e bene restituire la posizione

"The white lines defining the track"

ovviamente come in tutte le cose ci vuole buon senso.... se vai largo per evitare un pilota che magari è andato in testacoda oppure che ha fatto un incidente allora non devi ridargli la posizione, se invece con la tua manovra sorpassi un pilota che non aveva problemi gravi da obbligarti ad andare all'esterno, allora gli devi ridare la posizione.....

inoltre non deve essere una manovra che capita a tutti i giri.... magari può capitare in qualche fase della gara per distrazione o per chissà quale motivo di andare larghi in quel punto, in quel caso la cosa più semplice da fare è alzare un pò il piede in modo da annullare il presunto vantaggio.....oppure far si che il tempo del giro sia nettamente più lento rispetto al passo normale di gara!!!

Poll is closed. No doubt on the results! thanks for voting
