Hi everyone,

I was hoping to get an update ready for Sebring for this weekend but have ran behind a little, so there's no download link today - but read on to find out what I've been up to!

Basically, we're at the 'polishing' stage. Adding the little details that really bring the track to life.

Some but not all of the changes are listed below. As you can see its a chunky list!

One of the biggest changes is the bumps on the slabbed runway sections. You can see from this video, they now sync up with the texture all the way around the track.
