The scale and density of buildings in Las Vegas was an interesting challenge for the team, At the same time, Saturday night racing on the boulevard can also make people feel the radiant vitality and energy. In order to achieve the desired level of realism, we have accumulated more than 1900 days of development time.” Codemasters Senior Creative Director Lee Mathers express.
The studio used thousands of reference photos and extensive photogrammetry to create the Las Vegas street track from scratch. The design of the track contains three straights, a high-speed corner and an S-shaped curve. Its average speed will be comparable to that of Formula 1’s original speed temple – the Italian National Monza Circuit. Roar through this 6.12-kilometre track.
