Well, I'll kick off 2011 with this: Seven Hills is now available for Heat. Track facts: 2.0 Miles/3.22 KM This is a conversion from the rFactor track, scratch built by lasercutter. Thanks to lasercutter for giving permission to convert his track! I have also rescaled the length to 2.0 miles for the Heat version. The Sky Dome is included in this one and really gives the feeling of "movement" ingame, and eliminates the repetitive nature of the scheme used in the original Heat method. There are no penalty traps in this track and it has rougher grass, deep sand, and slick grass in key areas. This is a fantastic layout and there are not many places on the track to take a breather except possibly on the main straight, but then that chicane comes up real quick. The track has references to the Caterham Super 7, some info on that: The Caterham Seven (or Caterham 7) is a sports bike-sized sports car produced by Caterham Cars in the United Kingdom. It is based on the Lotus Seven, a lightweight sports car sold in kit and pre-built form by Lotus Cars, from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. After Lotus ended production of the Lotus Seven, in 1972, Caterham bought the rights to the design, and today make both kits and fully assembled cars. 2007 marked the 50th year of production of the Lotus/Caterham 7. The Caterham Seven is a small, lightweight, two-seater sports car renowned for its performance and handling. The modern Seven is based on the Series 3 Lotus Seven, though Caterham have developed it to the point that no part is the same as on the original Lotus. I would like to thank: lasercutter: for giving permission to convert his track DaveO: for the setups, GCF, and feedback. Karl: for the great feedback, as usual. http://www.speedsims.net/files/tracks/smoke/Seven_Hills.exe I am releasing a "2" version of this Track. There is a fix in this version from the original released version, related to a bug I found on a section of Collision Walls.
