Welcome to my first ever track for rFactor - the High Speed Ring.
Based on the track from the great Playstation Game - Gran Turismo 4.
This started out as a learning project & I wasn't intending to release it but that has since changed & here it is.
It isn't an exact replica but I did my best try & capture the feel of the GT4 game within reasonable time constraints.

I have to send out a huge thankyou to Brendon Pywell (Piddy) for his excellent Bob's Track Builder program. http://bobstrackbuilder.net/
Without it I would still be floundering in 3Ds Max & release would still be a long way off.

Thanks also to
- "Krunch" for the Skybox.
- "Chub Pearson" for the "Old UK advertising" xpack.
- "jay_p_666" for the "Great Britain" xpack.
- "Madcowie" for some good advice.
- Everyone at the Racedepartment forums http://forum.racedepartment.com/
for lots of help, advice & encouragement along the way.

- Race Sim Central - http://www.rscnet.org/

& especially

Thankyou for trying out my track.

This track is intended for private use only.
For use in any commercial projects please contact me first.

Enjoy

Cheers

V1.50 INSTALLATION

Please delete any previous versions of the HighSpeedRing from your rFactor\GameData\Locations\ folder

Place the Gamedata folder into your "rFactor" folder.
You should end up with a folder structure similar to this:

C:\Program Files\rFactor\GameData\Locations\HighSpeedRing

The track should then appear in your rFactor menus.
