That NH legends oval looks kinda cool. I had no idea that even existed. I like how they use those portable red and white walls, which actually give you something to reference when entering the corner, unlike most other legends ovals
@@DJYeeJay so for the first 7.5 hours it’s the regular plate race, the last half hear me out…..we take half the cars the ones in the back we put them on the left side of the track and they race head on coming the other way they do there own race and we do our own race it’ll be either 4 wide when they pass by or it’ll be 6 they better figure it out or the fans get to see what they come here for
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).
The tri-oval is used in real life for stock cars. Legends in the UK are a road racing series, and run the full Knockhill track layout and reverse. They are amazing fun.
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
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!
That Rockingham road course would be amazing in C class legends cars. They have run them on Legends road course for Charlotte as well as LRP and I think they would do awesome in a super short course like that
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.
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.
This reminds me of the time the series I was racing in used the Atlanta road course (definitely not to be confused with Road Atlanta). The first time I went for a practice session on it I missed a turn and ended up lost in the infield carpark, can't say that's ever happened anywhere else...
The Knockhill tri oval was run on week 13 a few months ago with the Pro 2 Lite trophy trucks. It was great and you could do full on drifts through all 4 corners.
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.
Believe it or not, but I have ran the nh legends oval in official racing on iracing. Think it was with the legends, and a long time ago, like 8 years ago or something.
Nürburgring Grand-Prix-Strecke - Müllenbachschleife Is a rarely used road course...& Stafford has a mini-oval you can only drive when iRacing is down under maintenance in testing.
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
The ohioval scares me... No arca farmer in the right mind would do that. The Knockhill oval could be used in advanced legends where they use paid tracks. These tracks concepts aren't bad but in practice suck.
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?
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
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.
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.
@@joshuajusticeracing 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
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.
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.
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?
The pit roads were the problems the majority of the time. Rockingham I didn’t know which way to go and drove the track backwards at first. Knockhill you gotta do a 3 point turn to get out of the pits, and New Hampshire like you said is a meme
@@MarshallDog wondered how many ppl remembered or ever saw that about Stafford. Saw it added during a week 13 patch update or whatever, havent been able to use it since. Had no idea about Oxford though, very interesting.
@@mitchdrew9005 Stafford mini mile is available in iracing's "test drive" service that's active when iracing is deploying a new build on week 13. I'm not sure why they don't just add it as a layout. I guess they assume nobody will want to use it. The Oxford mini oval is never a track on iracing but you can still drive on it. I actually think it's a fun legends track.
Nope there’s definitely more! These ones I specifically chose because they all had completely unique corners. I’ll prob do a part two. It’s hard to know how many there are for sure because the only database I know is the world records tab and it’s super tedious to go through and confirm things
I wish Formula Vee had a ln advanced series with setups, more tracks and run the car on Skip tires ...the slicks make the car feel slower and more boring than it seems to be in real life where the drivers seem to be working harder
I had previously tried to start a league with the Pro Mazdas using all these weird infield tracks. Those of us who raced on them had a blast. Daytona's. little mini road, Texas, Vegas, and Charlotte have awesome mini tracks that are perfect for Formula V and Pro Mazda
i live just under 20 miles from knockhill! such an amazing circuit but that triangle is a bit of a joke (during full track races they keep the safety and medical cars there)
Probably a legacy of Indy Motor Speedway having 4 corners. But it’s very helpful for people to describe things because corners are so long it’s kind of awkward to say “entry 1, slightly before center 2l etc
@@DJYeeJay yeah, Indianapolis having four corners is probably the most plausible explanation. However if you treated the entry and exit of a corner as two seperate turns, why isn't Pocono described as having six turns and Indy having eight?😅
Let's have a petition to fit all these track configurations into a week 13 series!

True!
The Knockhill Oval runs Legends Cars, but also runs Dirt Sprint Cars from time to time, apparently.
at knockhill, legends have raced on the tri oval before
also been used for drifting showcases
This should be a series

It's a kidney bean oval. Like Trenton
Been on the Rockingham short course in real life: it's toight! Really and truly is a kart course.
NH Legends Oval is like if someone put Darlington in a washing machine but it’s actually dry clean only
That mid Ohio track is exactly the same as the beginners track in early Gran Turismo game.
Auto club oval and road are both odd tracks
The small triangle was the funniest 😂
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.
