We are also progressing with Michigan Intl Speedway, and Kentucky which will be the next two released. Joesville has been created and if enough interest will also be made available.

NJ roadcourse is in development, along with Charlotte, Texas and Toledo ... more coming

Here is a review by Andy Mahood in this mnths issue of PC Gamer:

I'll try to keep you folks in the loop and help answer questions as much as possible ...... Great site and thanks for supporting Arca Sim Racing

Feel free to host them at Youtube if you'd like, these were just captured by me on a whim to show some people stuff, then emails poured in, so I thought I'd share them

**A bit more info: The track was used to create the final Roadcourse physics for the upcoming NJ Motorsports park road course. Since we had not done them, and the interest of the real teams and drivers, we decided it best to do this. So it's a win win for everyone. The physics were done compeletely 1:1 to a few select championship teams and the game engine response was incredible. A few more things will be done and then we will make a download available for those of you running ARCA Sim. And for those of you not, blah .......~~~~~

Racing these beasts can be quite challenging and really lots of fun though, especially on RCs. I´m really looking forward to the RC physics. That gives new live and spirit into ARCA Sim Racing. Whoohoo

Question that raises here. If there is an accident on a roadcourse, like a car spinning off. Does that neutralize the race in the same way as on an oval? With a yellow caution as result?

But that will mean you have a yellow flag period with safety car all race I hope there will be a solution for that.
But then again, i dont know the normal real life rules for ARCA on roadcourses

i know nascar deploys safety car on roadcourse when an accident happened...depending on the incident (it is much normal than the rare safety car in F-1 )

either way can't wait for Montreal
