Kyoto Ring

In this Japanese environment, the atmosphere is set by the tri-oval - the 'ring', which links together all configurations. The configurations vary a lot - both slow and fast racing is good fun here.

Kyoto Ring was introduced with the release of S2 (0.5P). Like with all tracks since 2017, the developers shared many work-in-progress screenshots of the yet to be released, revamped environments bathing in the new lighting system. The latest Kyoto screenshot was shared by Eric himself in the thread of the 318th RTFR on October 25, 2023, besides which he also confirmed the existence of a new configuration that is the inside of the Kyoto oval area (similarly to National), but instead of being connected through the oval main straight, it just uses short section of Turn 2 of the oval track. In this screenshot, the start/finish straight of the so far unnamed configuration is placed between Turn 4 and 5 of the current National track, with a quite short and narrow pitlane next to it. He said the following:[1]

I've already added this config! I contacted to TFalke about this a couple of years ago because I wanted to give credit to the original layout creator.

Short pitlane, unfortunately. It's similar to Suzuka's West Circuit.

Oval

Kyoto Ring Oval
KY1.jpg Short: KY1
Length: 3.0 km / 1.9 miles

A high-banked tri-oval, the fastest track in LFS. The third and final turn is the slowest, having the least banking. The starting line straight has a slight bend in it that can cause a crash if you aren't paying attention. Drafting, fuel, and tire strategies all play a major role on this track.


National

Kyoto Ring National
KY2.jpg Short: KY2
Length: 5.1 km / 3.2 miles

Part of the track is on the oval, which basically counts as a long wide straight, but the rest of the track is quite narrow and twisty.


GP Long

Kyoto Ring GP Long
KY3.jpg Short: KY3
Length: 7.4 km / 4.6 miles

This configuration has its own pit area and main straight. It uses only one corner of the oval, but has very fast straights and sweeping curves. One of the longest tracks in LFS.
