I am aware of the different track configurations used at RIR and that NASCAR used it's own version with the cut-over from T6 to T8 directly. For technical reasons, I have to build this sim track in it's longest version first, then remove sections of it to make the others. The base sim I'm using to playback the track so I can view my work as it progresses is a NASCAR sim and those cars are the only ones that will run in it. Hence, I made the video using the 1988 NASCAR car set......same as the one on YouTube showing several sections of the ESPN NASCAR race in 1988.
Mulholland Drive Simulation?
It's theoretically possible to do this. The 3D world program I use requires the track surface to be connected in a loop, but I've heard of people making a drag strip simulation where they tie the two ends together with a straight access road. They set the lap timer to only measure the 1/4 of the drag strip! So, if we took say a 3 mile section of Mulholland (selecting what 3 miles to use would be something you guys would have to do).....and we had adequate photos....I could make a straight access road on the side to connect the two ends. I'm certain that would work. -TP

Maybe try the Mulholland track in a way you could run one way then simulate going back the opposite direction on the same road. Maybe a loop in that respect.
