Track Infos from Wikipedia :
Roebling Road Raceway, formerly Savannah International Raceway, is a 2.02-mile (3.25 km) road racing course located just outside Bloomingdale, Georgia. Opened in 1959, Roebling Road is relatively unique amongst racetracks in that it lacks any accommodations for spectators; there are no grandstands, no picnicking areas, nor any other sort of viewing facilities. The track was designed by John Rueter and held its first Sports Car Club of America event June 11–12, 1960. The track was financed by and named after SCCA supporter Robert Roebling, great-grandson of John A. Roebling.
Roebling Road hosts events more than 300 days a year. Events range from media, pro teams testing cars, club racing, and performance driving education events. Club races include the SCCA, the BMW Car Owners Club of America, the Porsche Club of America, the North American Sports Car Association, and the Vintage Drivers Club of America. The track is used by cars, motorcycles and WKA karts. The PBS television series MotorWeek records its winter track-testing segments at Roebling Road.
The track is a very safe and forgiving track, making it ideal to learn on. It is characterized by large amounts of run-off room and only a single wall.
Roebling is unusual in that it is owned by a local racing club, the Buccaneer Region of the SCCA. Roebling is a not-for-profit, non-spectator oriented track.
Roebling hosts several driver’s education oriented events each month. The format varies with the hosting organization. There are relatively expensive events where the organizers provide high performance cars and, there are significantly less expensive events where drivers bring their own cars. As drivers work their way up in skill level, they are allowed to drive on the track “solo”.
The SIM Version :
The GTR2 track is conversion from the rFactor version made by Andy55. I thought it would be an easy conversion, but it turned in a complete make-over based on youtube video’s with a new pit entrance. Also the AIW is completely redone as it was only a basic AIW with some serious problems. However I copied 1 to 1 the racegroove as it gives a nice flavour to the track surface.
change-log :
Version 1.1 :
– Changed the corridor for AI car in the AIW so that the AI cars don’t cut the corners and drive on the gras
version 1.0 :
– Track released

I’ve been there numerous times and driven the track on a few occasions. There is a snackbar and camping facilities, and there are numerous good viewing areas and spectators are welcome for some events, like HSR and other vintage events. The main drawback there is that a neighborhood has grown up near the track and there are noise limitations at all times.
