Charlotte Motor Speedway (Prior Lowes Motor Speedway)

Post by nc94vette »

Does anyone have plans to map out Charlotte Motor Speedway? They have a road course that uses most of the "big track" and also goes into the infield to make a road course that is about 2 miles long. HPDEs are run there with car clubs like NASA.

If this track isn't mapped out before I go (2/3 July), how do I map it out myself? Help please!

Hi,

Please check the tutorial on http://www.gps-laptimer.de/Tracks.html
You may read some background information on triggers first: http://www.gps-laptimer.de/Trigger_Logik.html

But - it is still a lot of time till 2nd of July ;)

Thanks Harry! You are the best! I just sent the track into you for certification. Hopefully I did everything right ... since this is my first try. I was deliberate about it and I think it is what you need. Just let me know if I messed up. :oops:

Thanks again! :D

Tom.

There are several configurations of this track that are missing from HLT:

This one (can be configurated w/ and w/o either/both T11 and T15 chicanes on the oval)
Image

This one (can be configurated w/ and w/o either/both T12 and T16 chicanes on the oval)
Image

Even like this (both I think it is rare to run this configuration?):

Here is a satelite view for reference:

Hi,

Many tracks show the huge number of configurations that can be ran for advertising reasons. Many are not used in practice. In case you go for a track day and know a specific - and missing - configuration will be driven, send a mail to Tracks@gps-laptimer.de a few days ahead. We will add it. In case this doesn't work, simply load a configuration using the same start / finish position as your configuration. This will work and can be sorted out later.

Hi,
thanks for pointing towards the used configurations of CMS.
Now, two new configurations are available for download:
In the app: Admin->Add-ons, update the list with button top right.
Afterwards search for CMS.
A list of 3 CMS configuration, two new ones:
- CMS NAS Roval (the new version since 2015)
- CMS Alternative Road

The old CMS with id 1245 has been moved to section outdated.
