The online racing simulator
Well Eric must get his inspiration somewhere

Yes we do. The ovals in that list are all significantly different from eachother, and each requires a different type of driving. If LFS is going to simulate racing in as many forms as possible then having one oval mandates the creation of a lot of different types of ovals. Just like one roadcircuit mandates the creation of a lot of different types of roadtracks, and streetcircuits the creation of streetcircuits.

I'm not saying the devs are obligated to do this, but if they won't we will need editors released at some point.

Oval racing is just another form of roadracing. You don't like it, don't race on them. Just don't go telling everybody what we don't need. Keep it to what we do need. The more we have, the better it is.

You've listed more ovals than we have locations at this point. We don't need that many ovals.

BTW Darlington is not only half-banked - it is just narrow. People started running on the apron. The apron is not part of the racing surface, though. Although, when that was happening there was no rule against it. Now, only the banked track is used to race on, cars are not allowed to race on the apron.

Agree. 5 different will be enough.

At this point being the operative word... Didn't say they should be done immediately. They should be done at some point.

Darlington is not narrow. The turns are 79 ft wide. Only 40 ft of that is banked at 23 degrees. The inside is banked, but considerably less. I wouldn't know if there's a rule about racing below the outside centerline, but that part is not the apron. The fact they race on the banking is because it's a lot faster.
