    The Longford Circuit was a temporary motor racing course laid out on public roads at Longford, 23 kilometres (14 mi) south-west of Launceston in Tasmania, Australia. It was located on the northern edges of the town and its 7 km lap passed under a railway line viaduct, crossed the South Esk River via the wooden Kings Bridge, turned hard right at the doorstep of the Longford Hotel, passed over the railway line using a level crossing and traversed the South Esk again via another wooden structure, the Long Bridge.

    Its first race meeting was held in 1953, the Australian Grand Prix was staged there in 1959 and 1965 and the track hosted a round of the Tasman Series each year from 1964 to 1968. It was also the venue for the single race 1962 Australian Touring Car Championship (at 7.242 km (4.501 mi), Longford is the longest circuit ever used in the ATCC), the Australian Tourist Trophy in 1960, 1964 & 1966 and a round of the Australian Drivers' Championship each year from 1958 to 1965. Its use as a motor racing venue was curtailed due to financial issues, following the running of the 1968 Tasman Series meeting.

    If you do a fair amount of practice, you should make it to the finish with a good result :)

    Have you tried to crash on the Long Bridge? Done it twice and salto'd into the water. :oops:
    Did some sightseeing under the bridge; was a great experience. :D

    I must be blind, because as I say, there is no link there, at least for me.

    Car is a link, track is not.

    You're right, there's no link for me either. You can subscribe it from the Steam workshop here.
    A great track btw, Hermann Tilke doesn't create them like that.

    I tried the track, I think it's pretty boring. You can drive gas pedal fully down like 80% of the lap. But there will be good fights because slipstream. It's like oval racing :D

    Unfortunately I will postpone my debut on rFactor once again, cause I won't be on time for the race start :( So I unregistered from this event.

    I know that this isn't the right place to ask, but beeing a noob on rFactor, I kindly ask to some more experienced drivers on this sim if there are some apps to add, especially for what regards the tire pressures and the health and right operating temperatures of engine and the 'health' of the gearbox. Anyone's help is appreciated, even by private message, to avoid to divert this topic from its purpose. Thank you in advance chaps.

    See you soon :)
