This one is slightly more exciting than the other ones, find out why




The Start Finish Line at the Via de Fori Imperiali and Largo Corrado Ricci intersections heading towards the Colosseum

Veering left onto Piazza del Colosseo past the Colosseum

Turning right around the Colosseum(Did I mention I hate buses?)

Heading down Via Celio Vibenna

Turning left on the (not) banking

Looking towards the intersection between Via di San Gregorio and Via dei Cerchi

Looking down both Via di San Gregorio and Via dei Cerchi

Flying down Via dei Cerchi towards Tempio di Ercole Vincitore

Down the hill and through a small parking lot

Through a slightly bigger parking lot and around the corner onto Via Luigi Petroselli

Curving around Via del Teatro Marcello with Comune Di Roma Ripartizione on your right

The Steps of Santa Maria in Aracoeli with Altare della Patria towering over it

Dunno what happened to the Street View cam...

Around the west side of Altare della Patria

Around the front of the Altare della Patria

Back around onto Via dei Fori Imperialiand with Comune Roma Gabinetto Sindaco behind the trees

Cheers for looking, coming up after these messages from our sponsors is Tokyo R246.

I have been to Rome in real life, I was surprised on how accurate PD modeled the Colosseum..

So far Rome looks the most real I think. It's a shame we cannot change time of day as this track would look waaaay better at around 17 o'clock.

I concur, maybe even a little later in the evening. I'm sure the lighting would look amazing. Great job Mithster 👍

I Concur with you concurance (is that a word ) this needs to be an option for all tracks.

And it's not that hard to make. Of course dynamic time change is difficult, and can look bad on certain tracks. In rome he have many wire fences, that with dynamic shadows woudl look crappy. But there is always walkaround. Why not make Rome reverse at noon, and Rome at for example 19:00 with fixed time? With weather it';s even simplier. Look at High Speed ring. There are pre-baked shadows, but we have weather change. Those shadows just dissapears when it gets cloudy.

Great job, I just don't know where did they come up with banking on the Via Celio Vibenna.

Thanks for this! Very cool.

I wonder how accurate Seattle was. Funny I say that because I go to Seattle all the time, and the fact that I'm living near it. It was hard for me to judge because Seattle is well, pretty big and chaotic.

Now I'm wondering if Seattle will ever return. I hope that if it doesn't return, it's not cause of the fact that it's not as accurate as this, or the other recent city tracks!

I saw someboty do Seattle for gt4, it was accurate except after the hill climb and the 2nd bit of the free/highway. Its what mostly inspired me to do this. A possible reason was the change in the train track section in real life.

I've walked about 3/4 of this track in real life when I went to Rome and PD did model it very well, even the small details off the track that you don't see while driving

 

[Griffith500]

Haha, yeah, there are some buildings there (some pretty ones) that I'd never noticed whilst racing.

Good effort, as usual! 👍
