Printable Track Maps
06:45 AM on Mar 13, 2008

Thought it might be handy for those with not much time to learn new tracks if I shared my rfactor track maps.

Taken from the actual tracks in rfactor, so what-u-see-is-what-u-get, unlike the loading-screen map, spectator maps and other guides around the net with versions.

There is a tool called "Track Drawer" which draws track maps from the .aiw files. Check here. It doesn't mark turns, though :)

There is also a big collection of track maps on the BAPOM

The Racing Circuits is a great resource too.

Wow, great resources - thanks.

I just had a look at the Track Drawer you mentioned - it's cool. The only thing I didn't like about it is that it just draws the center line of the track, no track width. But it's definitely quick and easy.

Hey Jonty, I just found a cool resource the other day at www.trackpedia.com. I don't know how well all the tracks are documented, but using Mid-Ohio as an example, there is a turn-by-turn analysis of the track which has a couple of real in-car videos posted of laps at the circuit. The analysis is a review of the footage with suggestions on how to optimize each corner. It includes maps and telemetry data as well as real-life lap times benchmarks for some types of cars. Some tracks will probably be less or more well documented.

Another great find - big! They've got local tracks there I've never even heard of.
