Eläintarharata 1960s

Description
F3 Classics Track by Sergio Loro, Converted by EmperorOfFinland and Philrob


Eläintarhan ajot (Suomen Grand Prix in Finnish, Djurgårdsloppet in Swedish, Eltsun ajot in slang) or Suomen Suurajot (Finnish Grand Race) as it was called in 1932 was a motor racing competition arranged between years 1932 and 1963 in Eläintarha, Helsinki, Finland. The idea for the race came from a racing driver, S. P. J. Keinänen. Its racing history included the pre-war Finnish Grand Prix.
The Eläintarha race was an annual happening in Helsinki for almost 30 years until the final race was held in 1963. The winner of this last race was Timo Mäkinen, although the main start (Formula Junior) was canceled after a fatal accident. At the start a driver (whose identity has not been confirmed) hit Curt Lincoln's Brabham BT6 (Formula Junior), and the car slid to the left side of track. Most drivers managed to avoid a collision but the Swedish Örjan Atterberg hit his countryman Freddy Kottulinsky. Unfortunately Atterberg's car flipped over and the driver was pinned under his vehicle. As a result of the crash Atterberg sustained fatal injuries. The race was stopped by the race officials one minute after crash and the jury told the race was over.
As the setup was considered too dangerous this was the final race to be conducted on the city circuit. The racing events that followed the ill-fated Eläintarha race were held at Keimola Motor Stadium between 1966–1978.

The mod contains the track that i and philrob have been working for a while as a conversion as the other track was quite old and was missing the additions that sergio had added to AC version.

Modmakers:
Sergio Loro = Original track and models for Assetto Corsa
Emperoroffinland = Creating and guiding the packaging of the mod and maintenance of the mod. And conversion from AC to RF2
Philrob = General help and texturework and optimisation around the track

2.01 Version fixes the ai being unable to pit and makes the white boards with blue arrows or numbers on them to be moveable and collideable so they can be collided with and made moveable objects.

Keep in mind despite the mods name is Eläintarharata 1960s the track inside RF2 is called Eltsu_F3CT

It isn't worth your time. Maybe a note in the description here.

Thanks for the conversion!

I could rename it ingame but its how sergio loro names the tracks usually himself. although i could go and change it quite easily if required given couple hours of work. as im fairly certain i have to rewrite the filestructure a bit and then testing it. The main problem is that Eläintarharata is already used for the earlier RF2 version of the track, this is more updated AC port of the same track.

Great work! Bad naming though. :)

It's called ELTSU_F3CT in the menus for those like me..

Those classic tracks are the best! Now I wish I could drive the Modena ST60 Formula Junior Sergio made for AC here :D

Youre welcome, The original work belongs to sergio loro as he did the models and other stuff for the track, i just ported it over to RF2 with philrob, there is still couple things i will probably tweak on the track.
