Wait... that's not pavement...
Available this Summer as part of the 1916 American Champions Pack (Indycar).
The picture is of an Alpha version of the Mayfield Chicago Board Track.

At this point perfectly smooth.... 😅 We haven't added the mesh yet. But yes, I do expect it will feel interesting. Especially with the small wheels like you mention.
How does a boardtrack feel through the wheel? I imagine it makes your car tramline a bit especially with thin tires
HSS is quickly becoming my favorite modding team in all of sim racing. I cannot believe we're actually getting board tracks in a simulator this summer. And you're planning to do 1916 Indy as well?!? Can't wait to lay down some money on this stuff!
Hey, if you join the Champions Tier you won't have to pay for anything we produce. ☺️ Otherwise the 1916 American Champions pack will be $10. 🏆
We're basically recreating the 1916 American Automobile Association Championship Car Season with this pack. This is going to be awesome!
Yup
Oh baby this is going to be interesting, hopefully splinters are not included! Have you decided which tracks are actually going into this pack? I'm assuming one will be Beverly Hills Speedway as it was the first to use the Easement curve style and thus had some of the fastest speeds in board track racing. Also since Board tracks where notoriously difficult to maintain, any chance we'll get multiple skins of the tracks in varying stages of wear? Like stage one is a perfect and smooth racing surface, stage two has a few boards missing here and there and maybe some paint to mark them for the drivers, and stage three is the track after heavy use with many boards missing? Even if this was just a cosmetic thing, would be a fantastic addition for content creators and history buffs like me
At this point we are producing two board tracks: Mayfield (Chicago) and Sheepshead Bay (Brooklyn). Both tracks hosted multiple races in 1916 and they will be joined by a 1916 version of Indianapolis. Since they will be part of the 1916 American Champions pack both tracks will be reproduced as they were that season. That doesn't mean we won't add additional skins eventually, but it won't be part of the initial release. In fact Sheepshead probably won't be ready initially when the pack is released and will be added as a free update at a later date.
