RACE #3 Northeast GP - Maple Valley - 35 LAPS

Northeast GP - Maple Vally - 35 LAPS

One of the most beautiful and enduring circuits in the Forza franchise, Maple Valley is a deceptively challenging course that has something to offer for racers, photographers, and drifters of every level. Set in the fictional woods of Maple Valley in New England, the course is a showcase of natural beauty and history—don’t miss the brand-new covered bridge, sure to become a hotspot for photographers looking to capture the perfect images of their Forza rides. For racers, the initial experience of the sweeping turns and gentle elevation changes provides an enjoyable place to build skills, but many of the course’s corners—particularly the downhill segments—will provide a true test of nerves as perfect braking and turn in are required to master them. The narrow course also has few places to pass, so racing strategy is paramount—pick your overtaking spot wisely. More than anything else, Maple Valley is one of the most fluid courses around, with a flow that results in a high average speed. That also makes the course, especially the short variant, perfect for drifting as well. Regardless of what you want to do on-track at Maple Valley, the stunning colors of the fall leaves are the perfect backdrop.

What's this track supposed to mimic?

Limerock park i think.

Oh ok, but Lime Rock looks more like Iberian. I mean...I'd do 50 laps at Iberian, lol. I think the distance is almost spot on as well. I'd have to check though. I know I looked into it a long time ago.

Iberian reverse is the closest thing to lime rock on forza. I thinks its .2 a mile off of lime rocks actual distance.

It is, I agree, but looking at the shape of the track, look at Maple Valley Short. An article I read did explain the thinking behind all of the track, i.e. Sunset is Daytona with slight differences. Based on location of the track and the general shape of the smaller course, this was a slight mimic of Lime Rock. They did not have the license to do Lime Rock, so they improvised.

BUT - I do agree that another track is a little closer.

I wasn't trying to argue or anything, just wondering is all, lol.

No arguing. I agree with you that another track has a better layout. Lol.

i'll be qualifying tonight whom ever can do it

We can after ctcs race

Yeah we can skip this track?

Nope. Don't overdrive the last turn and you will be ok.

Or slam into pit lane like I always do

thats because you overdrive that last turn, hit the grass or the bump and go sliding down the track! LOL

But you never let off or brake to win races though?

did you not see end of Days of Thunder? He let off, got through the wreck and BOOM - wins!
