Modena 1970 - Advent Day 1

So, as promised only a few minutes ago, here's a look at the in-development track, Autodromo di Modena

References for the track are quite hard to pin down, so this for now at least is kind of an amalgimation of the late 1960's and 1970.

Dan also does a great job of spilling the beans on one of the other upcoming Advent Calendar treats, the Ferrari 312B! That's right, coming up shortly there'll be a car, not a track! In a first for the Nukedrop Patreon Page, the colab between myself and HSS means I'll be sharing a car with everyone here. One perfect for driving around at Modena.

The track features two layouts, the longer layout features a blast down an airport runway, and then into a hairpin, then back up the runway. The shorter layout features just the outer loop.

AI is 'raceable' but there's still work to be done. Replay cameras are included.

Discover the Autodromo di Modena, an iconic race track located on the outskirts of Modena, Italy. This 2.366 km (1.470 mi) circuit, inaugurated in 1950, intertwines with an airstrip approximately 1.600 km (0.994 mi) long, utilized by the local flying club.

From its inception between 1948 and 1950, the track has been a pivotal location in the racing world. It was the venue for nine Modena Grand Prix events, featuring both Formula One and Formula Two cars, with the last race held in 1961. The circuit was not just limited to these prestigious events; it also hosted a variety of races including sports cars, grand touring, Formula Junior, and motorcycle competitions, until its closure in 1975.

During the 1960s and 1970s, the Autodromo di Modena doubled as a crucial testing ground for renowned automakers Ferrari and Maserati. They conducted tests during either the morning or afternoon on weekdays, while the adjacent military camp used it for driver training at other times. This multifunctional track also continued to operate as an airport for private flights. Notably, Ferrari driver and skilled pilot Mike Parkes often flew in from England, landing directly at the track in his own aircraft.
