That’s especially true for Indy’s unforgiving temporary curbs in turn 1 and turn 6. As with any track layout, it’s the sum of its parts that make up a fast lap. Its super high speed chicane through turns 8 and 9 means your choice of entry is crucial to sustain full throttle and carry maximum speed all through the back straight. This last right hand turn, just before the main straight, requires repetition and patience to nail it – just when you think you can go full throttle, its deceptive camber changes on exit it will catch you off guard if you get overconfident too soon! Self control on throttle and smooth light braking are key to finding an ideal entry line into the very crucial last turn. In these last three turns you need to be extremely conscious of your brake and throttle inputs as you try and ease in. What all layouts do have in common are the last series of turns. NOLA Motorsports Park has five uniquely challenging road course layouts, each with it’s own particular twist and sometimes subtle, sometimes important differences. Mastering a section by turning in at just the right time and blasting through multiple turns on full throttle is exhilarating once you can flawlessly pull it off without landing on the grass. Each of NOLA’s Karting layouts is a complex labyrinth of fast changing turns that rewards consistency, heavy trail braking, and precise and sometimes risky maneuvers. But again, don’t be fooled by its size – it’s a real ‘arms aching’ workout to conquer. NOLA also comes with a sidekick, a Karting facility that offers the same level of excitement as the road courses in a smaller package. Taunting you in almost every turn, Nola’s smooth curbs can be your best friend or your worst enemy! Once you start to drive it, you’ll realize NOLA makes you work hard to knock off those elusive tenths and even hundredths of a second! The perpetual challenge to master the track and achieve a fast flow is addictive – which means the more you lay down laps, the more you want to keep driving. Like with any new track, you can download it from the workshop here !ĭon’t let the laid back southern charm fool you, with its bucolic and peaceful surroundings, vast expanses of green grass, and lush trees that line the outer perimeter – NOLA hides intriguing surprises in its subtle cambers and gently flowing fast corners.

As usual the ‘track team’ has gone to great lengths to bring NOLA to life in rFactor 2, and we think the results speak for themselves. This cooperation and open access to the track itself helped the ‘track team’ to create a highly accurate and realistic sim version of the real life track. "We’re incredibly excited to release this next track – it’s the first to be released under the Studio 397 banner! NOLA Motorsports Park, an entirely scratch built track, who’s development was greatly enhanced by the very close participation of the track’s representatives, in particular Scott Touchton. You can read the full release notes from Studio 397 below: The new track is available to download via Steam Workshop right now. The new NOLA Motorsports Park circuit features five main layouts and five additional karting configurations, ranging from short and technical to the full length Ind圜ar format. The track looks to be a very demanding and technical location, with many corners offering up different racing lines and requiring a considerable amount of commitment in higher powered vehicles. The release of the free NOLA track to rFactor 2 comes quickly on the heels of the recent build update 3 of the game deployed earlier today, and brings to rFactor 2 a circuit perhaps not too well know to race fans outside of the United States.
