Eh? I don't get this. Kyoto in LFS is a tri-oval, not oblong.

Lausitz have a long test oval,which they use(d) for testing and endurance races. The Driven movie has been recorded there,and Michele Alboreto crashed fatally with his Audi R8 there.

Kyoto Oval is like Nascar's Chicagoland Speedway. 1.5 mile tri-oval.

Kyoto Oval isn't even a tri-oval, it has 4 turns, and is a whacky design never the less.

The infield of what I posted is Ky National, that's all I am mentioning

EDIT: lol Ryan

Oops, yea, you guys are right. I forgot about how the front stretch is. More like this, Las Vegas Speedway:



And, yea Tweak, that does look much like KY National, but Kyoto Ring is the oval section.

Looks like everyone didn't get what niki was trying to say.
He was talking about track name LFS vs. RL, not the shape/purpouse (spelling?) of the track


... i think

I was commenting on what DodgeRacer said:

But I think I failed to see sarcasm in it at the time.

And I got what niki was saying just fine. I was just continuing on the off-point that everyone else moved to .
