The NH Legends oval is actually used on NASCAR Weekend, early in the morning before the Cup race, kids in Bandoleros and teens/adults in Legends cars face off infront of the few NASCAR fans who choose to wake up that early and come to the track. It's a pretty neat track. I think the main reason iRacing fails to use it is the lack of pit stalls [or atleast when I checked it out a long time ago, it was limited to 4 pit stalls]
This is the kind of stuff that should pop up on week 13 schedules, but they should race weird combos like rally-x cars and trophy trucks on them. And add some jumps.
Tsukuba also has an oval as well. I ran miata's on it officially once and it legit feels like a gran turismo license test exclusive track. like the one where you just follow the circle.
The Knockhill tri-oval, I believe, does run the legends or similar small cars in real life. Also to answer "Who would run the Auto Club infield circuit?" - Super GT ran an exhibition race there as part of its 2004 season (as well as a second race on the motorcycle layout).

Just to add to the other reply, the Knockhill tri-oval used to be used for British stock car racing (Formula 2, saloon stocks, hot rods, Brisca F1s etc) but is only used for drift demonstrations these days sadly. The Scottish drift championship used to run on it competitively, but yeah no more closed-circuit racing takes place on the tri-oval layout these days.
Knockhill Tri Oval is a must on Project cars 2. We used to run 16 RX lites in the snow around it and its fun as hell. Running that track actual prepared me for Iracing

Allison Legacy series put on a good show on the infield road course. I was the start finish man for their 2021 race. Having turned a lot of laps around that place myself, the really small course isn't very fun. Best leave it to go-karts.
I think iracing may have put the pro 2 trophy trucks on that knockhill oval as an official for a week shortly after the release of the track.
The Knockhill Legends oval hasn’t been used in real life in a loooooong time but we do use it only for Legends or demonstrations. We actually run Legends cars on the road course (which is used in both directions regularly) at nearly every meeting!
Some of these seem like something you would have to check a "disable all penalties" checkbox to properly race on.
@DJYeeJay
Жыл бұрын
True!
Most of these are actually used regularly in real life, and I’ve raced on 3 of them in sims: mid Ohio and New Hampshire in iracing, and knockhill in rFactor where it was one of the British stock car tracks with the hot rod/f1 stock mods. NHMS is the best of them, it’s honestly my favorite legends oval
The Tri Oval at Knockhill was used for Stock Car & Hot Rod racing in the UK which is very different to American Stock Car racing. There should be the option to run in either direction as it was used in different directions depending on what class was running.
It took me a while to comprehend that the New Hampshire Legends oval was, indeed, at the 1 mile New Hampshire track. The Monza left turning oval in the Xfinity cars was a lot of fun to drive and had a good turnout even during quiet hours. There is some nice variety to be had by running races at unusual track configurations. The last one that really stuck out to me was a week with the Production Cars at Tsukuba Circuit -1000 Outer, which was a challenge with a large grid and 4 classes of cars. Somehow that was more of an oval than the Mid-Ohio oval.

Knockhill you should be able to go both ways, it was used for UK stockcar racing. The Brisca f2s race anti clockwise quick description of those would be a less powered full contact sprint car. Other classes went clockwise as obviously our cars have the steering wheel on the other side. Hope we get the stockcars back up there I live about 15mins away from the place

Props for the Hornet-themed car at 5:30.
The small triangle was the funniest 😂
After seeing these strange alt-layout tracks, it makes me scratch my head even more that they only did the Thompson Speedway (CT) oval and not the road course too! It's even within driving distance of their HQ. They could do several New England tracks for that matter.
After the downfall of Global Rallycross, ARX was the Rallycross series in the states. 2019 they ran a race at mid Ohio using the “Ohio oval”
i really love the knockhill tri-oval, one of my most favorite tracks in project cars 2. sad how barely anyone races at it.
The kink at the Mid Ohio not oval was part of the original layout of the track. They didn't straighten out the entrance to the keyhole until 1990.
do not hate on the Legends oval!! it is so much fun especially when you add in some weird car combos. makes for some great fun in the middle of the night with some buddies. especially driving it in something weird like the Indycar
I was gonna get New Hampshire because it is on the Modified schedule and that legends oval is a bonus.
Knockhill tri-oval is often ran anti-clockwise in irl and only rarely clockwise like in the game.
Never heard of that nh legends oval track not gonna lie that looks like a super fun track
Been on the Rockingham short course in real life: it's toight! Really and truly is a kart course.
A couple of these look like they could be used for dirt road. The Nurburgring has a short little configuration that I don't even think you can complete a lap on.

Speaking of Legend Cars... I don't know why they don't run Legend cars on road courses. I have watched Legend cars race at Summit Point (my home track), VIR, and Mid-Ohio. But they won't do it in IRacing. I think that would be totally fun racing road courses in Legend cars. IRacing needs to make it happen.
@joshuajusticeracing8591

I believe when they run Legends cars on road courses IRL the suspension is set up completely different, and iRacing doesn't have the road course suspension for them. So you're forced to run the oval suspension setup and try to make it work on the road, which isn't the same. Modifieds have the same problem.

@@joshuajusticeracing8591 to my knowledge the suspension isn’t super different, the high class teams might switch it around but there’s a lot of cars that all they do is switch some normal set up stuff. Though I am not a dev and they might have to change some stuff there. Inex (the sanctioning body for legends and bandaleros) runs a whole road corse championship so I can’t imagine I racing doesn’t know
I did not help the cone budget a couple of weeks ago, I was dragging 3 around for a few laps in the F1600 at Oulton park
Duude, I didn't even know that super smol tri-oval-ish Knockhill layout was also in iRacing. First found it in pCARS 2 and I was like: they do have such... layout like this, for real?
I think the "Richard" track looks interesting for a kart or slow car like Vee or MX5 (I don't do ovals) There is a dirt kart track in Australia that is shaped like a kidney (I think they run It in both directions). One advantage is it is a leveler for road racers & oval specialists in the same race, esp if run clockwise.

Auto club oval and road are both odd tracks
I think NH Legends would be great for the SK mods. Actually a lot of people racing the touring mods regularly are begging for a real 1/4 mile track so much that they'd probably race NH legends. I think the real issue is the pit road is broken. If Knockhill oval were left-turning I think it would be awesome for any of the short track cars, including the ARCA car. Overpowered and heavy are exactly the type of cars I love watching at a short track. I also think there's a video to be made about the "hidden" tracks in iRacing. Examples include the "mini-mile" at Stafford or the teeny-tiny oval on the backstretch of Oxford. Can anyone think of any others?
