A scratch built Longford 1967-ish. Public roads around Longford, Tasmania, used for the Tasman Series, touring cars and bikes in the 50's and 60's. Some top line drivers raced there in the day.

Made with Bob's Track Builder. Using some grass textures from VLM Rouen with permission, thanks VLM, Elwood and Madhorse.

check http://tasman-series.com (not affiliated) for more info on the track and on an existing gpl wip not made by me, though Gustaf from the team has allowed me to use some of the models. thanks Gustaf!

These days the track has changed. Some bits of road have been torn up for the sake of a highway. both bridges have been pulled down. a big levee wall has raised a section of road. isolated bits of road have been neglected and in one area there is a power substation right in the middle of the track. fortunatly the pub is still there and features a museum dedicated to the track.
