Weekly 98 - Laguna Seca

In all my years I've spend on GP500 no-one ever succeeded in making an actual NEW track. So I actually gave up all hope on it. And was thinking about leaving at the end of this season and let the young ones in charge. So when I came back from my vacation. I thought Dolz* was taking a piss with me when he tried to tell me there was a new circuit named Laguna Seca. The moment went even further when he sent me to the GPStore and I couldn't load the site, he sent me a .zip file with the name Laguna I thought he was trying to send me Porn... As tired as I was I couldn't really think of the fact that it might even be real.

Anyway I unpacked the zipfile put it in the right folders gone to multiplayer and tested round with Dolz. First lap 1.26... pretty good if I may say so.

Anyway I wanna give my respect to those who were involved, I was planning to send Grooveski a personal e-mail but I'm too lazy for that besides Im too amnesiac to keep reminding myself about doing it. So with this said I wanna honour those who made Laguna come to live in GP500!

My first impression on track wasn't that high, I've seen hundreds of laps already on Laguna in other games! I always wondered how it would be in GP500. I must say it's a great track to ride with a MotoGP bike with physics from GP500 :-P. I don't wanna be on cloud #9 and keep screaming it's so wunderfully wonderfull... though I must say it's good to have a something else after 6 years!

Anyway, this also means we are at the end of GP500... it doesn't get better than this. No more development no more new stuff, only updates, new bikesets, new tracks, new models. GP500 has been ripped open and finally the end is there!
