The Nemuno Ziedas track actually is quite epic, big elevation and very fast corners, Oval aside maybe it will be the very quickest laptime in GPRO? ;D

I spent many hours on this track my early days. Used for circuit racing and hillclimbing races. Lap times were from around 1:36 for S-2000 to 1:16 for F-1600 before remodeling.

I second that. Earlier the better, thanks


What would you say if I tell you that I already did the calendar for S33? :) And maybe that I'm doing it then also for S34 and S35? :)

Then you shouldn't tell us or we'd all rage quit when we hear about those multiple Oval track seasons you have planned :p

What exactly was done? I would be happy for some hints about the laptime to be honest :D

I didn't expect a calendar very soon.

And yes,a very good calendar.New Lithuvanian track,after the champion Justinas retired.Seems a bit weird for me.

This means, that if you want your country track to GPRO, get manager to Elite, let him/her win and let him/her retire :P

OK, I've checked the latests. The changes were just to increase safety, as the track itself was pure extreme. Current results for A-2000 (similar to S2000) are still around 1:36-1:37 for the best laps, fellow champ drives BMW M3 Open class in 1:26 range, Formula1600 discontinued. Then I'd suppose (if we forget all the hillclimbing blind turns :) ) for F1 it could be in 1:02-1:03.
P=11, H=16, A=14 from my experience.
Edit: here's some results
AGM Kit Car 1:18.802
Porsche 996 GT3 1:19.407
BMW M3 GTR 1:22.082
those are qualification toppers

Btw, there's another LT track waiting in the line :) 1000km Omnitel Racing, taking place in Palanga, track is done on a highways junction, 3km lap, speedy and engine&brakes wear hungry :D

looks like quite a tough season for the engines there at first glance...not too many low wear tracks. Testing circuit makes up for that though. you cant have all the cake you want I guess.

80 laps in the Lithunian track
Is this the Oval's sister?
Just by looking at the track the shape is only a bit different.

Low number of corners, which are all practically high speed corners, very short lap => F-1 cars with their amazing downforce would probably drive the lap in 50-55s in my opinion.

I think, it will have to wait a long time (or it will be only set as testtrack in between seasons as drivers can make holiday then at Palanga :D ). First of we add tracks for countries without a track yet or new current tracks on the F!-Calendar.

Look into my previous post with a Porche's time. This one is pure racing unit, with just a little bit less horses than F1, sharpened exactly for racing, driven by Dapshas.
And, for example, on the picture in wiki turns 1&6 would require at most 3rd gear, especially 6th . Surface in there has negative angle, sliding the car outside. So not that speedy.
