Blue Max Kart Club – Free Release!
SMALL EDIT - The file now has correct UI values for track layouts 6 & 8, fixed the typos.
Blue Max Kart Club is now available to download, completely free for everyone!
Blue Max Kart Club. Located in Davis, CA, the BMKC is one of the oldest go-kart clubs in Northern California. This project was made with the permission of the real circuit, and the help of Jason collecting reference Materials. So big thank you to everyone who was involved getting this project going.
Designed in the 1960's a a track for mini-bikes and was later operated with Go-karts. BKMC is in it's 5th decade as a go-kart track and hosts 6-7 races a year, with extra regional races.
The fastest classes hit above 60 mph on the front straight away! Check out the events for the next time a race is happening!
The virtual circuit was recreated using USGS LiDAR data to provide an accurate foundation for the terrain and track layout. Some late additions also reflect recent changes to the asphalt made at the real circuit only a few days ago! As it's a kart track, we get less LiDAR points to work with of course, so there was a bit of 'filling in the gaps'.
The model is made to match the recent change that happened only a few days ago, where some new asphalt was added to the apex of a corner.
There are eight layouts included:
Short
Short with Hairpin
Long
Long without Hairpin
Reverse versions of all four layouts
All Layouts have replay cameras and AI lines.
Despite being a kart circuit, it isn’t only fun in karts. It also makes a surprisingly entertaining little venue for drifting or racing smaller cars.
This is the first release, so please report any problems you encounter and I’ll get them looked at. Have fun!
Thanks again for the continued support.

which kart mod you'd suggest running on this track? really good stuff!
Did you ever find a good kart mod?
Thanks for putting this together! Excited to test my home track out. I'm getting an error when I try to install through Content Manager, says "Not supported: additional text encounratered after finished reading JSONcontent i. Path", line 22, position 1." And it doesn't show up at all when I install manually. Any idea what the issue is?
Should be fixed now, please download 1.01
might want to take a look at the UI, layouts 6 and 8 are not showing up in CM no matter what I do.
Should be fixed now, please download 1.01
so awesome this is my home track
Bravo et merci !!
Can’t wait to give this some testing!! Locals have tried for years to get approval to host a drift test event here, but IIRC they’re worried the sub base is too thin to support full size vehicles being driven hard, so we’ve never had a chance. Stoked to get an opportunity in the sim at least!!
One of the best things about sim racing is being able to try silly things that wouldn't happen in real life... yes I own the world record for a virtual lap of the Bluemax track in an F1 car, until someone beats me!
