Just a quick post to let the admins know there is a version 1.5 available for this track, which was released 21/11/07. A few of us cannot currently race at the touring car server due to mismatches

Not driven much yet, but its great to be able to race the Seat Supercopa online, having not been part of the rf community when it was popular online

There has been another update for Oldring released in the last week or so, now upto version 1.6

Could the admins update the #1 server to this most recent version, please?

I'm having a good conversation with myself here, but there has been another update to this nice fantasy track... version 1.8 (BBB has version 1.1 in the track archive)!

TIPS AND INFO:
============================================================================================

<<<THIS FANTASY TRACK IS BUILT FROM SCRATCH AND IT'S NOT A SIMPLE CONVERSION OF OUR NASCAR2003 VERSION>>>

============================================================================================

Peoples and crowd (mesh and textures) are from ISI's stock tracks.
Trucks are from Simbin.

we are working on several other layouts of the OLDRing Park, they are already visible but we will open on the next release after teaching the AI how to drive it.
The circuit is perfect to drive with all the mods that has been realized, We hope that can give you hours and hours of amusement as it did to us making the circuit.
The passion for the Formula 1 cars pushed us to take the best features from real circuits to make the OldRing; as you can understand from some of the turns name, they are taken directly from real counterparts but not absolutely a copy apart for three turns (Variante Alta, Mobilkom, Adelaide).

Enjoy the OldRing and push to the limit!

I know I keep harping on about this, but it seems odd to me that BBB keeps up-to-date with every other custom track in the archive, leaving me and other BBB users with mismatch issues (on other servers, they do really exist!)
