I have ported "dirt-3", one of the tracks I like from TORCS, to VDrift. If you would like to try it, you can download it from: http://wahrhaft.homeip.net/vdrift/dirt-3.zip

A few notes:
- The track's in-game name is "Australian Countryside" to make it more user-friendly.
The only real graphical issue is that the ground was multitextured in TORCS. I combined the two textures together, but it doesn't look as nice as the original.
Besides porting the track geometry, I also applied the original friction and bumpiness settings from the track. The units looked to be the same, but it's hard to say if it has the exact same effect on the cars.
I set up the track type as "sand" because it was the closest to dirt. If a dirt type gets added someday that kicks up a bunch of dust particles (might look at doing this myself too), I'd switch it over. One of the fun details of dirt tracks in TORCS is trying to see when you're passing someone.
This track is under the Free Art License. Details are in the about.txt.
