What this mod does
Newport Speedway (Oval) recreates a real short oval in Newport, Tennessee, in the United States. According to the author, the site was a junkyard until a few years ago. It’s a layout of about 640 meters, perfect for tight oval racing with lots of contact.
What’s included
- A custom 3D model of the oval with progressive 23-degree banking.
- A custom bumpy surface that makes the track more demanding.
- Dynamic lighting for night racing.
- Ambient sound and custom-recolored objects.
- AI paths, so you can race against cars controlled by the game.
Who it’s for
If you like oval racing, this map is one of the best of its kind on the Repository. One player highlights that the AI works excellently, which is rare on ovals, and another recommends trying it with Late Model or Legends-style cars. Even a Newport local says he recognizes his town’s track. The author hosts online races on Saturdays through his Discord.
