that new layout looks aweful!!!!! a glorified go-kart track without a single interesting turn.

It’s extremely boring! It does seem that anyone wanted to create a great racing track. And it looks always the same if someone uses bobs track builder. Internet’s full of those ugly tracks

It’s extremely boring! Who designed this wreck of a track, a little child? In addition, this simulation looks pretty ugly, thank’s to bob’s track builder the internet is full of tracks looking like this

Thanks to bob’s track builder we had 2 laser scanned tracks and many other quality tracks as well.
By the way the Formula 2 mod have a very realistic feeling compared to most mods on rfactor. Give it a try in case you haven’t done so already ! The car doesn’t have much torque but the handling is very nice.

Placing some cones in a shopping mall parking lot or on an old airport looks more interesting than this track.

I was approached to make this track for them, glad they started ignoring my emails and it all died a death as there is no way I’d have been able to match the quality they seem to have acheived

I must agree that this track looks a bit too boring. It goes like go-go-go-brake-turn right-go-go-go-brake-turn left-go-go and so on and on and on…I mean, are those guys who design modern tracks blind or something?? Every new track is the same. Every new track has lots of slow corners and long straights before and afther that. Every child, as someone mentioned, can make track like that. Give them a ruler and they will draw it for you. Damn, where does motorsport go with thiskind of tracks.
I used to remember this as one of my favorite tracks in simulations when I was younger. Now they screwed it.

Could you specify which Formula 2 mod exactly? I tried looking on rfactorcentral and couldn’t find anything like this. It sounds and looks really nice so I’d like to try it :)

LMAO… Brilliant

Have you tried this maybe??

I was talking about the F2 mod by SiMCO :)

Where’s the speed? It’s in, I don’t know, circuits that aren’t rubbish?

Yep, you’re partially right. But Snetterton has always been a bit ‘geometric’ – nothing wrong with that IMHO. This is just a little bit modified version. But overall, new tracks all over the world suck – every motosport fan says this and still they create such circuits. Portimao is good though – but it’s also universally know – and accepted – fact. And solution is simple – place tedious Tilkedrome on a hilly terrain – and you have distinctive fun track with its own soul and character. Just imagine Brands Hatch on a flat surface – whole charm would be lost and it would be just another Tilkedrome-like track.

Okay thanks, I got it now! It’s cool, one of my new favorite mods!

Agree about snetteron, but as I remember it wasn’t like stop-go-stop-go like this new part of track…

Bobs trackbuilder has nothing to do with the quality.
It’s the effort people put it that makes it count.
Regardless off the program you make it in.

I don’t know about the new layout but old snetterton was a blast.

I’d rather have lower-quality BTB versions of all of the great little-known circuits that it has helped people make than no representations of them at all.
