Putnam Park is an officially licensed track from Global Motorsport Technologies, the track itself doesn't offer a great deal in the way of visuals, but it was chosen for this very purpose! It's a circuit which shows off some experimental techniques to benefit future projects with advanced shaders and more features than seen in any other track for rFactor, including shader [... more]
