HPR - REAL Video
Loading...
Uploaded by HighPlainsDenver on Oct 9, 2008
(Note: We have an updated video at

with a better camera angle and driving line.)
The new asphalt at High Plains Raceway was recently completed!
(even pit roads and paddock!)
This video was taken during a GPS data collection lap around the centerline of the track. (The new GPS data will be used to update the HPR racing simulation with a VERY accurate layout.)
The lap was done at a low speed, but has been sped up here for viewing purposes.
Huge thanks to all those who have contributed so far. It is very exciting to have a new track in Colorado.
Donations are still being accepted to help with continuing improvements.

I just drove my E Type there this past week: As a veteran Colorado driver, I can say unequivicoally this is the BEST track this state has ever had! I even like this better than CDR...;) Great driver's track, challenging, and it took me an hour to find the correct line w/my old Jag.
Congrats to all who made this possible, and who knows; I may come out and be a really pretty moving chicane again, soon!

For a track built by a handful of regular dudes...good job !

That turn into 13 (start of prairie corckscrew) looks freaky. I sense a lot of people or going to be visiting the real prairie on that turn. I'm also very dissapointed that T3 isn't more of a flat out run then what it is. The video makes the apex look too hard to take at full speed, without putting a car in the dirt on the back stretch.... oh well. I guess we'll all have to wait and see what's possible when we get to experience it first hand. Thank you very much for the video!!!

T13 is definitely tough when you're driving the centerline as we were for data collection!
When you drive a race line, it is much better, but visibility is still a challenge.
It will help to know the track!
T3 has 2 turns, & you're correct - the first one requires a lift or better. The second portion (the kink before the straight) should be able to be taken flat out.

the "flat" I am referring to isn't the elevation change but flat relative to horizontal... as I noted in my original post the lack of banking in corners. I see essentially no banking in any of the corners on this test drive. Danny's Lesson for instance would have been an awesome corner to have some banking on to be able to shoot in rolling high and sweep down in on the throttle with a late apex and hit the straight haulin'. The Gs you get to feel in a banked corner just can't be beat :o)

There IS banking in the corners ... a couple of them even off camber.
I guess they just don't show up in our video very well.
The design called for 1.5 to 2 percent banking in most corners ... High Plains Drifter & The Ladder to Heaven enter the uphill climbs with a 4 percent bank.

It is going to be great to have a new, more local track... I am kinda surprised to see how flat that track is tho' and that is a bit of a bummer. It would have been nice to have a couple banked corners to carry some speed.

"Flat"? Did you notice all the "sky" turns? In fact, GPS data indicates that from the top of the Bobsled down to the bottom is actually an 80 foot drop in elevation (previously est. at 70'). True, the video doesn't make you feel the elevation as much, but trust me. the west loop (down to Danny's Lesson) and north loop (Bobsled to Hell and then Stairway) ain't flat.
