Description
Charlotte Motor Speedway is a motorsport complex located in Concord, North Carolina, 13 mi (21 km) outside Charlotte. The complex features a 1.5 mi (2.4 km) quad oval track that hosts NASCAR racing including the prestigious Coca-Cola 600 on Memorial Day weekend, and the Bank of America Roval 400. The speedway was built in 1959 by Bruton Smith and is considered the home track for NASCAR with many race teams located in the Charlotte area. The track is owned and operated by Speedway Motorsports with Marcus G. Smith (son of Bruton) as track president.
The 2,000 acres (810 ha) complex also features a state-of-the-art quarter mile (0.40 km) drag racing strip, ZMAX Dragway. It is the only all-concrete, four-lane drag strip in the United States and hosts NHRA events. Alongside the drag strip is a state-of-the-art clay oval that hosts dirt racing including the World of Outlaws finals among other popular racing events.

Excellent job on this! Too bad it looks like there isn't any 3d imagery for Bristol Motor Speedway. The place looks like a warehouse :-P
Edit: Is there a good tutorial to learn how to do this? It would be awesome to get my home city in the Sim.

Even if i'm french, i follow the Nascar championship. I know Bristol could be great to add to MSFS, but unfortunately, there are not any photogrammetry data for it... 3d models exist, but they are not very good...
Here is another Nascar track: https://flightsim.to/file/15361/talladega-super-speedway

Did you make this using the Earth2MSFS program? I could never strip the data without getting the dreaded unknown issue. Thanks for getting this into the sim! Also, if you don't have night lights, I'd love to collaborate with you to get the night lighting to work.

Yes, i used the GoogeEarthDecoder (which is the last version of the Earth2MSFS program) as i mentioned into the credits section, and my optimization tools to get rid of the UNKNOWN errors and optimize the scenery in terms of performance, as well as memory and hard drive usage.
If you want to add some lights to the tracks, you can.
I suggest you to use those libraries (that i sometimes use by myself): https://flightsim.to/file/912/11-colors-lights-pack-from-blender-1-0

This looks pretty amazing! If you're looking for another challenge, the Daytona International Speedway is LITERALLY right next door to KDAB, so it will certainly be extremely easy to find, and a good copy will seriously enhance any flights into or out of that airport. I go there quite a bit, and one reason is to see the speedway, but a really nicely done copy that puts the default to shame would be a game changer... #justsayin
