Thanks for the updates to my home track! V1.0 was one of my favorites, especially with Porsche Cup cars.
I can’t wait to give V1.1 a whirl once I get back to my college dorm and steering wheel!

Don’t forget to download SLN’s real ad’s texture update for Vanport: http://sln.rscsites.org/
Click “tracks” then “Vanport” for the realistic ads. It’s pretty sweet. Adds quite a bit of immersion.
