New Tracks

[Robert]

Would be interesting if some new tracks were added that could be added to the seasons via in-game voting
Might be interesting to have a Monaco-esqe track
Other tracks would also be good

Anyone with any idea of a good track, be sure to post it below
Hopefully we can get some more tracks to grow the championships

I keep seeing people ask for Monaco esque track and I'm like, isn't that Cape Town GP?? It might not be a carbon copy like Yokohama but the layout is pretty similar, maybe it's the scenery that's misleading people.

I think some kind of track creator would be cool. Not sure if the engine or ai could handle it, but it would be fun.

I agree. That's another reason why I once​ stated my belief for more racing leagues in MM, and especially on the national level: More places to race in lower racing leagues, and the possibility of having new tracks for WMC races. (Perhaps even make it to where there's two tracks in Germany that alternate hosting WMC races every year.)

Afaik tracks are the "hard bit" of MM development, in that they are time consuming to create and require extensive testing. There are a lot of "lines" around the race track the cars run on (kinda like slot cars), passing points, cross over area's between track variations, and so on.

Personally I think it might be a while before we see any new tracks make an appearance. But I am sure the team are planning for it, if they dont already have some on the board for development.

Quite right, Cape Town is our Monaco. Although I would dispute that Yokohama is a carbon copy of Suzuka.

I would expect they planned new tracks from early on, but as lexandro says, they are probably hard to make and time consuming.

I can see some similarities between Monaco and Cape Town
But I was on about one that looked much like Monaco in its surroundings (Track based within a city)
I know making tracks would be a time consuming effort, but it would still be nice to hav some more tracks

As said here, it would be cool to have multiple tracks in the same country that could be either swapped via voting, or alternate as hosts

I can imagine extra tracks would come in as DLC, and probably late in the day after many of the bugs are sorted out.

I definitely want to see 20 races championship and changing calendar at some point. Also order of the races should change sometimes.

@Brian
Well I didn't mean a literal carbon copy, that was an exaggeration to make a point. But even without licensing Yokohama is a pretty accurate caricature with all the main features: first turn into s curves, figure 8 overpass, hairpin (though a bit exaggerated), spoon curve, last chicane is smoothed out for a simple return to the starting line. It's almost like a little cartoon version of Suzuka. Yokohama and Milan are probably the maps that are the most similar to their irl counterparts. *At least to my casual eyes.*

@Robert
There are city tracks (Singapore), but as I said MM doesn't have f1 license and is limited in how much they can copy the real deal. While you won't find 1:1 conversions, you'll see a lot of the main features layed out in the right landscape like Doha has prominent Yas Marina features, Milan pretty similar to Monza, I already explained Yokohama, etc. But other times even though the layout might be vaguely similar, the environment/landscape will differ like Cape Town does with Monaco.

Yeah a DLC with 4 or 8 new tracks would be great. The current ones are fantastic, so hopefully they would be of similar quality.

Simply an editor needs to make more tracks, teams, car parts, car models but the devs still not give us tools to make our new stuffs maybe because then they cannot throw us dlc-s. I would like to have 25 tracks per season and with a rotation to vote every year the 25 tracks what you want so it would need a lot more tracks and on larger countries more tracks too. I personally miss the hungarian gp there because there is nothing similar and that makes a bit meaningless to have for say a slovenian racer or ukranian if they haven't home tracks to race. All nations needs tracks so they should give us an editor to make our expansions for the game because the current database editor is made by a person but not an official tool which can helps to make new things.

People in this thread are aware that South Africa used to hold a GP race? At Kyalami Racing Circuit, from 1961 to 1985. The complicated historical reasons why a SA GP no longer takes place obviously didn't transfer to MM... Cape Town is not intended to be a Monaco cover.

The trouble is tracks are easily the hardest bit - even the top down view (the simplest to do a track for) is quite complicated...
