iRacing have posted a new video featuring the in-progress Jerez track and Formula 1600 car. As I suggested in my first post about Jerez the driving surface looks to be about done but most of the trackside 3D and perhaps some overall texture and/or performance tweaks remain.
The video shows a lap of Jerez from the roll-hoop of Formula 1600, showing off the track and a low resolution pointcloud, similar to how their version of Long Beach looked while it was a “tech track”. I really like to see a developer, especially iRacing, previewing upcoming content in this way as it’s something we’ve not really seen done since rFactor 2 or Assetto Corsa were in early development.
