A little something I found this version of Suzuka. A NASCAR race with all the 90s NASCAR stars and a Kiwi Legend! Jump to 31 mins for race start.

Where do I get this track from? I can't find it on the steam workshop and it doesn't seem to be included in the base install?

UPDATE: I think I have it, it's the ISI Matsusaka 2015 version I assume?

Thanks for that. On the track selection page as well as the loading screen, it shows up as a two circle track, like a huge figure 8?

But in-game the track seems fine. Is that normal?

Yes. Its not an official release of Suzuka so they used a generic loading screen etc

Seem to have a package missing problem when trying to get on to the server. All the tracks are downloaded and running. Has something changed on the NZRFL44 pack?

Im not racing or organising the series so can't say for certain what has changed, but at a guess I would say the Round 6 track has been added to the rotation after the result of the vote.

Check you've subscribed to Matsusuka and Donington on Steam?

There was an incorrect version of Donington on the server but it's all sorted now.

Bull is correct though, you will need to have Donington installed as well. https://mega.nz/#!adkRmRqQ!Rhk7ZtUY87J ... yJKP2HRuQw

Instructions:
For those unfamiliar with installing non-steam workshop tracks, instructions are below:
1: Download file, and save to your rFactor 2 Packages folder - this can be found by right clicking rFactor 2 in Steam, going to properties, local files, browse local files.
2: Launch rFactor 2
3: On rFactor 2 Launcher screen, click on the box icon (second icon on the left)
4: Scroll down the list until you find the track name
5: Click on the track name, then click on install at the bottom
6: Repeat Step 4 & 5 for each track
7: Done!

Donnington auto downloaded for me, which is why I was late getting on, took ages!
