We have just released 2 new Lostallo infield tracks, #4 and #5. These tracks are based on the existing short-cuts on the famous Swiss Lostallo track. Including the big oval course, Lostallo now features a total of 5 variations! These 2 new tracks will be released on Steam shortly!
Lostallo 5 has 2 extra corners, #8 and #14, added to make this lay-out more challenging!
Lostallo 5 is planned for the upcoming 2026 SEASON 1 - 1:10 ELECTRIC ISTC ROUND 4 events scheduled for March 28 (Spec) and April 4 (modified).
To avoid any turn-marshal and corner cutting flaws, pls. test these tracks extensively. If any issues arise, pls. post them in the comments below, indicating the corner number and if it is a false turn-marshall issue or a possible corner cutting cheat.
Thanks for your collaboration!

I was recently notified about deliberate corner cutting issues at Heemstede and Fiorano. Pls. understand that it is impossible for me to check every possible corner cutting cheat before release. Even in beta testing such corner cutting instances are not reported. Let me explain the process to fix a corner cutting or a false turn marshal issue.
To fix such issues I need to edit the 'segment' map which is very low resoltion, 400x300 pix or so. As the name indicates, this map is used to devide the track in sections using 8-bit colors. The car must pass these sections in a fixed sequence. This sequence is defined by the order of the 8 bit colors. If a car skips one of the segments (colors) it results in a turn marshal warning. By the way, besides corner cutting issues there can also be 'false' turn marshal warnings which require the same procedure to fix.
The problem is that as this is an 8-bit map (images) I can't overlay the real track over this segment map. I first have to analyze where this corner cutti... read more
