It's been posted on F1F. It goes along with what tilke said about a narrow section?Thunders wrote:@ the Picture from Juzh: I very much doubt they will Race on Cobbletones, and just put Tarmac on that would be a shame. Plus it looks too narrow to race for me.
For now, you can watch this video, and stop at 1:10 (east part of the route), 2:44 (fast straight to the east), 2.51 (east part), 3.24 (fast straight), 3.25 (east end of the route), 3.31 (fast straight), 8.05 (the north part of the west), 8.15 (the north part of the west), 18:44 (general viw of Baku at night), 18:52-19:00 (fast straight on board camera view), 19:05 (east side upper route), 19:24 (east side), 19:30 (west side), 19:34 (east side), 19:55 (east side). What I couldn’t show you is the very interesting part of the route (the west part, the best part), and let it remain a surprise for you
If y'all think they'll run on that surface, I got a bridge I'll sell you.Apparently cars will drive right trough here.

See, why in the hell can't I up vote this post? What a stupid system we have on this forum.Timbit wrote:I have created a rough version of the circuit for rFactor (I know, old tech!) and have recorded a flying lap of the circuit using the standard rFactor Formula IS car.

Buildings are more placeholders and are not accurate, although I tried to give a sense of building size in certain areas. I also tried to incorporate areas with trees accurately too. All buildings (pit building included) have been outsourced. Circuit includes broadly accurate elevation profiling as well. Also there is no catch fencing as I have not been able to locate a catch fencing for the program I use to create circuits. Finally, I tried to match the car basic car set up with the stated max speed of 340km/h.
This was really only done to get a feel of how the circuit drove and how the elevation profile around the old town effected the characteristics of the circuit. I think Baku is quite a nice looking city so TV shots will be quite nice, although the circuit as a whole may have not much to offer drivers.
