Notable New Features (since ver 0.20):
- Four additional Rally Stages based on each timing sectors from original GPL version.
- Realroad plus fully reconstructed high detailed road surface mesh with 2% crossfall.
- Fully reconstructed offroad and terrain surface which eliminated all holes and gaps.
- 3D grass & night lights.
- Summer theme.

-------------------------
Additional Notes:

Performance:
- This track was made specifically around Draw Distance (LOD values), however some vehicle mods may bypass the track's default value, and render far greater amount objects, which would result lower framerate and visual bug (such as floating road & trees).
- The 3D grass feature can be resource heavy, which is only enabled by setting "Circuit details" to Full.
- Disabling mirror (includes virtual mirror) can boost framerate a lot.

Timing:
- The track supports instant out lap timing. A couple of flag men stand next to paddock exit, and drivers must wait red flag to withdraw before exiting paddock, otherwise instant timing wouldn't work and penalty for "exiting pit under red" could be given. Note, paddock and pit lane are separated areas. Pit lane is located behind start/finish line. Instant timing is disabled in race session.

Rally stage "Drop Off" zone:
- For each rally stage layout, a special "Drop Off" zone is located a few hundred meters after finish line, where road surface collision is disabled and vehicle would drop off if drives on. This "Drop Off" zone is not a road bug or hole, but specifically designed for teleporting AI vehicles back to start line safely, as normally AI would not go back to garage by themselves on point-to-point type track.

-------------------------
!!! Important Note for Singleplayer !!!
Racing against more than 40 AIs could result serious performance issue, such as huge lagging or slow motion with player physics, due to heavy CPU usage from AI.

We've had a lot of good races and discussions post race about this track. Would it be possible to have a lollipop man or some other indicator, like the 'pit closed' sign at the end of the pits for the start of race in the event someone starts from pit lane instead of the grid - and it disappears when they are permitted to leave?

Sim Racing Online is going to do a TT series with the Mini Cooper 1961 that includes the Targa.

Does anyone know if there are pace notes for this Targa.
The only ones I could find are from 2013 rFactor 1.

Can you have an online multiclass race with ca. 24 drivers on this track, or is it just for hot lapping?

hi, already a big thank you for this magnificent circuit, on the other hand the latest version I am at 55fps and it jerks a lot since the last update, it's been a long time I have to write this message, I manage to no longer have jerks by deactivating the multivew , but I wanted to know if there was another technique pls?

Thanks!
I levelled up from a two-track-Driver (Nordschleife + Isle of Men) to a three-Track-Driver because of your amazing Mod!! With the Ariel Atom and the Alfa Romeo 155 by Simdrivers i have the most fun on this Track. I rode it nearly 10 times now (4x finish) and i'm getting more and more familiar with it.
