I am currently creating a digital track of Autobahn so I can race it in GTR2 (racing sim) for those who dont know. Kind of an excersice for myself in animation as well as learning new tricks and have fun in GTR2. Anyways, Does anyone know how long any of the straights are? I just need to know how long one of the straights are so that I can properly scale the track to its correct size.

They have a map of exact dimensions on their site:

wow I totally missed that one. Thanks. Anyone here who plays GTR2 would be welcome to the track as well.

any ideas on elevation changes or banking? or is it a pretty flat track?

its mostly flat but I know S4 is slightly uphill, and there is a "jump" on the S-N connector. If you made it flat, would not lose too much of the spirit.

im going to have to probably drive it to see how much change there is unless Autobahn wants to give me an elevation plan of their lot... doubtful but maybe
but if its not much change i might just leave it and see how it goes first.

No slopes are very steep, but there is distinct gradient on the course. S1-S2 go uphill, S3 is down hill and bottoms out just before S4 which climbs all the way to a summit at S5. The run down to S6 is a little downhill, then it is flattish all the way to halfway down the S10-S11 straight. You go gently downhill all the way past S12 until you head up to the jump. Pretty steep downhill into N3, then back uphill into N4, levelling off before N5. Flat all the way to N8 where it heads downhill onto the long straight. The connector U turn feels slightly downhill, but I suspect it is flat really.

excellent thanks... Ill post up some pics of what I have done when I get the track fully laid out.
I had an issue with the CAD file and had to remake it (it wasnt perfect)
