Any Interest in Tilbury?

As some of you may be aware the kart track at Tilbury closed May 2013, so the only way any of us can race on it again is virtually. This post is to gauge if there is an interest for this track in KRP.

I have only been there a handful of times back in the 1980's. I'd admit there only going there when we pulled up to Rye House, kart on roof rack and discovered it was closed for races, or for some other reasons... of to Tilbury then...

The track exists as a community made effort by Lasercutter for use in rFactor, and looks to be very accurate. If there is a good deal of interest, I would start by converting his track (and will check with him first) over to KRP. Ideally and time permitting, I'd completely rebuild it and make it all as polished and finished as possible.

Iv'e not tried making or converting a course as yet. That said this work is not completely out of my comfort zone. Though out of the game recently I've 10 years professional experience as a 3D artist, predominantly Maya admittedly. Given time though, I'd be confident doing a good job.

Let me know your thoughts.. if you want it done.

Welcome to the forum and thank you for the offer :). New tracks are always welcome. I've no direct relation to Tilbury but why not testing it ...

I know this thread is super old, wondering if there was ever a track made for it?

Thanks
