Your best one yet! Did my first lap at just under 4 minutes 40 sec in a Porsche 935, hehehe.

That must be the original circuit from when it first was used. It looks super fast, with super long straights and flat out max rev areas that would lead to a high risk of mechanical failure. Particularly with the older (two-stroke) bikes which would be doing their best to seize up and self destruct I would imagine.

Not having seen any footage of the track previously (not that I can remember) I was surprised at the number of trees bordering the track that were the first thing one would hit, with the lack of barriers to protect in particular the bike riders . It is also quite narrow in parts. I just clicked on one of the links to similar clips at youtube and it gave a look at the track back in the period and highlights of a post war TT bike race. Quite a few parts of the track were very recognisable between the rFactor 'reproduction' / sim and the original period clip.

Some good work Erwin. :thumbsup:

I have a video of the race in 1954. This video contains a lot of footage of the original track, which was in fact the second layout of the Circuit van Drenthe. The first TT (1925) was held only once on the Rolde - Borger - Schoonloo - Grolloo - Rolde layout.

Will upload this one.
