The Aston Racetrack in the middle of England has several longer and shorter configurations within a nice countryside full of forest and light hills. The 7 configurations include the longest in S2 with 8.8 kilometers. Fast and slow turns, some altitude changes and a great chicane are the ingredients to this racetrack.
Aston was introduced with the release of S2 (0.5P). On April 21, 2006, the April Update 0.5S added the Grand Touring (AS6) and North (AS7) configurations to the environment.[1]
Configurations
Cadet (AS1)
Length: 1.9 km (1.18 mi)
Cadet is the shortest configuration in Aston. After some very slow turns you have to be prepared for the awesome downhill chicane. Try to keep the balance here and during the braking for the last turn, and you are back on the start/finish straight. First turn creeps up quickly, with a slight downhill section on the braking zone. Pay attention to the braking point when racing faster cars (GTR class). This configuration has a different pit lane and start/finish line than the rest of the Aston tracks.
Club (AS2)
Length: 3.1 km (1.93 mi)
Club is a very popular track, especially in combination with the XFR. It features many full-throttle sections perfect for preparing overtaking maneuvers. The most challenging parts are the chicane-like combination in the middle and the one before the start/finish straight.
National (AS3)
Length: 5.6 km (3.5 mi)
National is the most popular configuration in Aston. It has easy overtaking and despite the very slow middle section, the track is fast. Most drivers prefer a GTR here.
Historic (AS4)
Length: 8.1 km (5 mi)
A very long configuration. After the first turn, you drive the Cadet chicane in reverse, followed by another chicane leading to the Grand Prix section. After a long straight and a very fast right-hander, a series of left-right combinations with a final long left-hander take you back to the National part.
Grand Prix (AS5)
Length: 8.8 km (5.5 mi)
The longest configuration in Aston and LFS. It's similar to Historic but includes detours around the most dangerous parts, like replacing the Cadet chicane with a longer National section and a fast chicane.
Grand Touring (AS6)
Length: 8.0 km (5 mi)
Grand Touring uses the Grand Prix circuit but with the slower Club first corner instead of the faster one used in Grand Prix, Historic, and National.
North (AS7)
Length: 5.2 km (3.23 mi)
North is an extended version of the Cadet circuit with several slow corners and fast blind esses. The first turn has a slight downhill braking zone, so be mindful when racing faster cars (GTR class).
