JNS Tracks: News

Welcome to the official home of the JNS Tracks, we provide quality tracks for use with many rFactor mods. We are currently involved with some mod makers to provide tracks for some new mods that should be coming out soon. We are also in the process of updating our older releases to work with as many rFactor mods as possible as well as fixing any issues. In short we continue to provide quality tracks that work and provide great sim racing action.

JNS Online Racing League and TCRG.INFO have combined forces to keep up the fun racing tradition that JNS Online drivers have enjoyed since 2001.

The official league of JNSTracks.net is TCRG, visit http://tcrg.info for more information and signup for some great online racing. TCRG offers series for the rFactor SCE and CTS mods using our tracks as well as lots of ARCA racing using the ARCA Sim Racing game. TCRG is a registered nonprofit Charity league with a mission of providing fun sim racing while helping out many charities. At TCRG they are truly “Racing for a Cause”.

All JNS CUP tracks have been updated to fix some issues and add overall improvements. We have also added replacement tracks for Charlotte, Texas, and Michigan. These tracks now have multiple grooves to enhance the racing. Darlington has a face lift to reflect the new repaving done at that track. The physics on all 2008 tracks have been adjusted to work better with SCE v.995+.

Patch v1.1
This patch will update all of the JNS CUP tracks from the first track pack to version 1.1. If you don't have track pack v1.0 then download the Track pack v1.1 instead of this patch. Install this patch by extracting the exe file from the downloaded zip file to a temp location on your system and double-click on it. Make any corrections that may be needed to the default game location shown (C:\Program Files\rFactor\) and click the unzip button.
Track Pack Full v1.1
This pack contains all of the current cup style tracks. Install the track pack by extracting the exe file from the downloaded zip file to a temp location on your system and double-click on it.

This is a completely updated JNSTexas track to replace the one included in the track pack. This track will be added to the Track Pack patch due out soon. Until then you can download this track and install it, it will replace the older track. This track now includes 3 grooves to allow a better racing experience.

These tracks should be considered fictional as they do not exactly duplicate any real world tracks. They can be substituted for real world tracks that these closely resemble.

In order to remain compatible with rFactor mods made before 2008 we had to use a different folder structure. Once the tracks are installed and you start the game you will now see a “2007 JNS Tracks” and a “2008 JNS Tracks” categories listed in your track list. Expand the category you need and all of the tracks in that category will show up. The 2007 tracks are better suited for use with the SCE .98, NSS and many other mods. The 2008 tracks are designed to be used with the SCE .99 and beyond.

The main difference between the 2007 and 2008 tracks is in the tracks physics, grip, tire heat and wear. Either set of tracks can be used with any mods but results could be quite different, I suggest trying the different track sets and use what works best for you.In order to install these tracks and avoid conflicts with my older tracks you will need to REMOVE your current “JNS_Tracks\TrackName” folder and any HAT files that may be in your "rFactor\userdata\log\hat" folder. Now you can install this track by extracting the exe file from the downloaded zip file to a temp location on your system and double-click on it. Make any corrections that may be needed to the default game location shown (C:\Program Files\rFactor\) and click the unzip button.

That’s it, now can fire up the game and go racing.

This track release includes a 2007 and 2008 edition tracks. The main difference between the 2007 and 2008 tracks is in the tracks physics, grip, tire heat and wear. Either set of tracks can be used with any mods but results could be quite different, I suggest trying the different track sets and use what works best for you. It is recommended using the 2007 edition with older mods (sce v.98, NSS and so forth), the 2008 edition is intended for sce v.99.

Currently the 2008 tracks included in this release are the only tracks that are made by us to work with SCE .99 and beyond. All future track releases will contain a 2007 and 2008 editions.
