There are some installation notes on RD:

HOW TO ADD OR REMOVE SPECTATORS
 To remove spectators from the track, extract the contents of NO PEOPLE.zip to the data folder
 To reinstall spectators from the track, extract the contents of PEOPLE.zip to the data folder
 
 TEXTURE ADJUSTMENTS FOR EITHER "STANDARD AC" OR "SHADER PATCH" - 22/03/19
 The default installation of this track is configured for a "SHADER PATCH" set up. The textures for all camera_facing objects (spectators) are much darker to make them correctly exposed when using the current Patch. These files are also in the SOL+SHADER PATCH.zip archive.
 
 If you use a standard AC set up please extract the contents of VANILLA TEXTURES.zip to the data folder (over-writing the originals). These textures are lighter and are designed to be correctly exposed with a standard AC set up.

It's a long circuit, 10km, so get some practice in!

Arrrgh. Learning these long tracks is such a chore! Should be interesting.

I just installed the shader patch and SOL as I've never tried it before and it does look pretty nice. I found on this track once you get into the trees I was dropping FPS sometimes down 65ish. I tried turning the shader patch off to see what impact that had and the FPS dropped down to 58 in some places so the shader patch does actually improve FPS.

Does seem a GPU heavy track; I think as so many trees and shadows. With other cars on track I assume I'll be dropping even lower so I may try an AI race and make sure it's okay as I currently have all the graphics settings maxed out, so may need to turn a couple down for this round.

Awesome track! Love at first sight; it's pretty, winding in the mountains, it has a nice flow - what else could you wish for?
It isn't that bad as learning-in goes IMO, but there are a couple of funny feeling corners that'll take a while to master.

GB, your spa setup is excellent here.

For the most part it is but I'm thinking 1st and 2nd can maybe be changed to be a bit quicker through the hairpins.

Some gearing change maybe in order, and definitely tyre pressures, indeed.

Thanks.

This is such a good track graphically.  It really captures the feeling of driving through a forest on public roads.  The slow hairpin section is a bit rubbish but the first two thirds of the track are a thrill.

You should check out Feldbergring as well, by the same modder. It looks just as good.

There's one thing I hate; that lamppost in the 3rd last corner.   :)
