Assetto corsa Evo still have a long way to go. not to mention the modding. But kunos showed us a glimpse of the new editor and it looks li...

First of all, of course, Happy New Year! I hope 2024 has been kind to you, and 2025 will bring you closer to your goal and happiness

I suppose 5 days should be enough to sober up? XD How was your New year's eve? I hope it was fun and wonderful night, whoever you spend it with, or whatever you do.

Well we're g...

Targa Florio update v.0.24 for rFactor 2

Hello hello everyone,

and welcome back to Targa Florio!

How was your weekend? I hope you had a great time!
Another Monday, and another start of a new month. And it's THE December. Holy dear mother of all gods and their cousins. They did say time flies, but time surely been using a jetpack or something.

I hope this year has been kind to you. Maybe not everything is going as you've planned. For you who are struggling, hang in there man. For those who have been hanging on... well.. I guess we should keep hanging for a bit...

Targa Florio Update Build v.0.2.05 [Assetto Corsa]

Hello everyone, Beni here.

Here's an update that adds a Autumn/Fall version to the track for some more variety. Seasons in the lower Madonie mountains of Sicily work different to central Europe and after a lush green Spring the grass turns brown over the Summer, only to get green again in Winter. Many of the trees and bushes are evergreen anyways.

Another plus of this update is more colour range in the grassfx, it reacts to the ground's...

Targa Florio 73 v.0.23... for rFactor 2

Heellooo hellooo everyone,

and welcome back to Targa Florio!

this time, as the title stated, it will be the first version release for rFactor 2!

as we are still working to process the photogrammetry data, I figured that this will be a good time to bring AC's most recent version to rF2.

well I did promised to bring the Targa Florio 73 to rF2 in the beginning. and I have to say, working with rF2 was quite fun. rF2's PBR materials really give plenty of room to play with. we also learned few things that can be beneficia...

Targa Florio Update Build v.0.2.04

Hello hello everyone,

and welcome back to Targa Florio!

I hope you guys had a good weekend! For F1 fans out there, it's a triple header week. I'm sure you've memorized Wilhelmus already by now lol.

But it's good to see Lando and McLaren putting up a fight in recent races. Maybe not as close as we hope it would be, but McLaren's pace is surely there. Unless Max and redbull are actually not running at full power to save engines. If I heard the commentator correctly, Max is already using his last allocated engine for th...

Targa Florio Special Stage v.0.4.1

Hello hello everyone!

and welcome back to Targa Florio Special Stage!

I hope you are enjoying your weekend. Are you excited for the Emilia Romagna GP today? Or are you more interested to know if Max Verstappen is going to win the virtual N24 hours? XD

I'm not exactly Max's fan, but having an F1 World Champion as one of us sim racing degenerates is a bit... satisfying? lol

Although I do hope he showed us him driving Sims other than iRacing. Just curios what he thinks about ACC, AMS2, etc.

Anyway, we have ...

Targa Florio Special Stage v.0.4.0

Hello hello everyone,

and welcome back to Targa Florio Special Stage!

I hope you had a great weekend. Plenty of racing happened this weekend. Spa 6h, which ended up badly for the BMW WRT team :(. Jardier's first race in the Clio Cup series at Hockenheim. Ferrari Challenge, and a few more that I couldn't even watch lol.

The Nurburgring 24H is also just around the corner. Excited to see how Jimmy, Steve, and Mischa will perform there. I just hope they won't have tyre blowout again. Falken really need to step up their ...

Targa Florio Special Stage v.0.3.0

Hello hello everyone,

and welcome back to Targa Florio Special Stage!

Phew, this one took a bit of time. The grid that was added this time have plenty of road parts crossing them, so it took more work getting them done.

But this one will be the final length of the special stage. I will not add anymore road than this. So the special stage end about a kilometer after Collesano. We got all the materials we need to experiment on, so from now I'm going to focus on improving what needs to be improved. Most of what we're do...

Targa Florio Special Stage v.0.2.0

Hello hello everyone,

and welcome back to Targa Florio!

So did you tried the Nordschleife on ACC? personally, I think the track was very hard lol. My best time so far was 8:28 in a M4 GT3. Still learning the best line around the track, and my consistency score just plummeting ever since I started practicing hahaha.

and Talking about the Nordschleife, anyone watching the NLS? I watched NLS every year, but the last two years has been a bit different since I'm rooting for Jimmy, Steve, and Mischa.

Them driving th...

Targa Florio Special Stage v.0.1.5

Hello hello everyone,

and welcome back to Targa Florio Special Stage!

Are you guys excited for the Nordschleife DLC for ACC? well I am XD

Although I don't play ACC that much - or rather, don't have much time to do sim racing - only 134 hours so far since release. But I like the physics, and driving the Nordschleife on ACC surely going to be fun!

I also have a LFM license but 0 race so far lol. Couldn't find the time, no energy, and other lame excuses that keep me away from actual racing hahaha.

But I don...

Special Stage update version 0.1.4

hello hello everyone,

and Welcome back -again- to Targa Florio!

We have an update for the Special Stage test track.

Bigger landscape for the first grid has been added.

What I meant by grid is, the track is basically divided into 36 main grid. It's how we divide the work in order not to get overwhelmed. And this is also how we will be doing updates in the future. Grid by grid.

The one that has been added is where the Pitbox is located. And currently it is only the first LOD, the highest level of detail. so you wi...

Special Stage Test track and Autodromo Delle Madonie

Hello hello everyone,

and welcome back to Targa Florio!

welcome back indeed. It has been a while. I hope you all are in good health!

I wanted to ask you how excited you are about the new season of F1, but well, it seems the season has already ended? lol. But Ollie gave us a little bit of excitement in Jeddah, didn't he? We can hope there will be more excitement in the season! I really want to see some good racing!

And in sim racing world, we got Le Mans Ultimate, and very soon the Nordschleife for ACC will be coming o...

Targa Florio 1932

hello hello everyone,

Welcome back to Targa Florio!

I hope you had a great New Year's eve! May this year bring wealth, health, and fortune to all of us!

Although that being said, I kinda started this year on a wrong foot lol. Got sick by the 2nd of Jan, bedridden for 3 days and then a week to recover to a normal-ish activity. But it's all good now XD. Probably it's because of the weather was being a bit extreme here. When it's hot, it can reach 35 degrees Celcius, but when it rain, it's a thunderstorms. Not exactly uncommon...

Dreaming of a white.. Targa Florio...?

Hohoho...!

hello hello everyone,

and welcome to an alternate world, where winter came in full to Sicily and snow fell around Targa Florio!

Me and Beni wishing you all a very Happy Christmas and holidays!

Whatever you are doing, and whoever you spend it with, I hope you're all happy, healthy and well.

Sooo, while we are still working with the overhaul, Beni came up with an idea of a snowy Targa Florio. And we thought, why the hell not. It's a good change of pace (literally, as you're gonna s...

Update Build v.0.2.03

Hello helloo Everyone,

and welcome back to Targa Florio!

How are you guys doing? Anyone started counting the day to the start of the new F1 season? XD

Somehow, we're already at the last month of 2023. Time sure flies isn't it. I hope this year has been good to you.

Have the Holidays started yet? Here in my country, we don't really have end of year holidays lol. Only on the 24th and 25th, then on 1st of January. So we're still working even on 31st of December. Can you Imagine all the worker's mindset on that day at the...

Update Build v.0.2.02 (Crash fix)

Hello Everyone!

I am truly sorry for the crash issue. It is totally my fault during testing that we missed that crucial error :(

In the end, there is a limit to how many type and amount of 3D trees can be rendered at the same time after all. This will significantly change the future plans. Maybe a mix of 2D and 3D trees is the best option we got for a track with this size :/

so here is the update build v...

Update Build v.0.2.01

Hello hello everyone,

And welcome back to Targa Florio!

Welcome back indeed. It's been a while isn't it? It's been too long, I know. And I'm really, really sorry for that. 

Most work that we've done in the last few months are preparation and processing LIDAR and Photogrammetry files, I'm sorry we couldn't get an update build earlier.

Aside from LIDAR and photogrammetry, we're also working on replacing the 2D trees with 3D trees. I know there are some 3D trees around that we can use, but a lot of the vegetations t...

Update Build alpha v.0.1.26

Hello hello everyone,
And welcome back to Targa Florio!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! 

Anyone watch the entire 24 hours of LeMans? XD It was a good fight between Ferrari and Toyota. And Cadillac did really well huh? 

I'm really sorry for the delay of this update. So many buildings at collesano, and so many doors and windows as well lol.

Still need some adjustments around the doors and windows, and some bui...

Update Build Alpha v.0.1.25

Hello hello everyone,
and welcome back to Targa Florio!

Although it haven't been long since the latest build, we have a small update for the track today.

But before that, I want to inform that Beni just released the first car for the 70s car pack on Racedepartment. 

https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/traffic-pack-70s-italy.59531/

This is a great addition for traffic when you drive in track day m...

Update Build Alpha v. 0.1.24

Hello hello everyone,
And welcome back to Targa Florio!

How are you all doing? Hope everyone is in good health! Don't forget to stretch, do some workout and drink enough water! :D

First of all, I'm aware that some of us got virus warning issue with the last update files. I promise you I didn't put anything strange inside them! XD

I'm really sorry for this. I've checked the files and they came out clean on my pc. The one thing that came to mind is that we now have a LUA script that control the staggered start c...

Update Build Alpha v.0.1.23

Hello hello everyone,

and Welcome back to Targa Florio!

I'm really sorry for the delay. I wanted to release an update at the beginning of the month, but somehow ideas for new features keep popping out lol.

So, here's what's new on this build;

first, we now have a countdown counter for a staggered start. Big Shoutout and Thank you to Antonio who wrote the script!

Although, this countdown ...

Update build alpha v.0.1.22

hello hello everyone,

and welcome back to Targa Florio!

and of course, I wish you a very Happy New Year! Please excuse the late greetings! XD

Now that I'm sobered up, I finally able to think of what should I write for the first post of this year!

jk, I didn't get drunk at all. How on earth can someone get drunk just from 4 slices of pizza and a coke lol

I hope you guys had a much more exciting NYE than I was hahaha

But that's just how I normally spent my NYE. Lazying around, eating, w...

Update Build Alpha v.0.1.21

Hello hello everyone,

and Welcome back to Targa Florio!

How are you all doing? I just got down with cov and I just finished my quarantine literally yesterday :(

I only have light symptoms so I can do my quarantine at home. But it was my sister that need to be hospitalized. but she's home now and we're recovering well.

Anyway, F1 season is over. we still got 89 more days until the 2023 season. What do you guys planning to do? anyone here playing F1 manager? lol

Fortunately since I'm doing quarantine at home, I go...

Update Build alpha v.0.1.19

Hello hello everyone,

and welcome back to Targa Florio!

I hope you guys are all in good health. Remember to drink water enough and do routine workout! :D

Me and Beni spent a lot of time processing the photogrammetry last month. We're still facing some difficulties to get the most out of the photogrammetry software. But we are making good progress;

Hyperdrive Cities

Hello again everyone!

There is something I want to share to you gents fellow simracers! As this is not related whatsoever to Targa Florio, I decided to make a separate public post :D

Early this year, I started working full time for an Esport team called Legion of Racers. You probably heard of them from the Orchard Road Street Circuit that were released last year on RD. The track was made for the Inaugural E Cities Championship in Oct 2021.

This year, the championship continues and the name changed to Hyperdrive Cities. We h...

Test Build Alpha v. 0.1.18

Hello hello everyone, 

and welcome back to Targa Florio!

How are you guys doing? anyone playing F1 Manager here? lol

Saw it on Jarno Opmeer's channel, and it looks interesting hahaha. Managing the Williams seems like the hardcore mode is it? I don't think he scored any points so far in his first season. 

Anyway, back on track shall we?

Me and Beni are still experimenting with the photogrammetry. Individually, the result are pretty good. We struggle a bit aligning the different parts and importing them ...
