This mod features a Grade-1 redesign of the Mine Circuit, also known as Nishi-Nihon Circuit; it was opened in 1972 and had alternate fortunes for three decades until it bankrupted in 2002. Mazda owns it and used it as proving ground since 2006.
The new design uses parts of the original circuit and some surrounding spaces to reach 4.4 km.
It is now running counterclockwise, so the main straight is approached in the opposite direction.
Characterized by constant elevation changes as it follows the hills of the Japanese island, it has distinctive features in the Turn 1 underpass, in the long T6-7-8 triple apex uphill corner and the also uphill fast bit from T18 to T20.
Particularly tricky will be the downhill braking zone in the final corner.
Overall, it has kept its windy, slow traits, where traction will be crucial, but the completely new Sector 3 adds now a faster section and more potential for wheel-to-wheel action.
The mod has:
- Pit Boxes
- Replay Cameras
- GrassFX and RainFX support
- Night lighting
- AI Lines
- Full compatibility with SOL, Pure, Custom Shaders Patch, and Content Manager
- Accurate representation of the surroundings of the circuit
- Unique items like kerbs, pits, barriers and bridges
- 3D Trees
