HWY52

Highway 52

A semi-fictional track is now available in pre-alpha. The basics: It is a 93.5 mile road course set between Rochester and Cannon Falls, Minnesota!

Your lap begins by traveling south on Highway 52 and taking exit 51 onto Highway 63 (Broadway) in Rochester. You'll swing around back onto highway 52 North, pass the pits, and drive until you reach Cannon Falls which is about 43 miles away. Exit onto Minnesota 19 (Main Street), swing around, start back south toward Rochester, and you're headed for home!

During a race it is probably a good idea to turn off the full pace lap and yellow flags as they are unrealistic for a track of this size!

I used Google maps and Google earth to shape the track and to get elevation info. There are still a few things that need to be smoothed out, but I've driven this stretch of highway many times in real life and so far it seems pretty accurate!

I had to add the Cannon Falls traffic lights because they are so damned annoying in real life! Luckily for you they will always be green in the game!

If you need (or want) to cross the median, I suggest going high to low. Going low to high might cause an explosion!

I added some temporary road signs for anyone who's familiar with the area and would like to know where some of the cross streets and towns are along the way.

More information is available in the readme.txt file that is included with the track.
