Cadwell Park is now available for Heat. 
Track facts: 2.5 Miles/3.974 KM
Direction: Clockwise, Corners: 11
This is a conversion from the rFactor track, by Philrob and Motorfx. Thanks to those guys for giving permission to convert their track!
The Sky Dome is included in this one and really gives the feeling of "movement" ingame, and eliminates the repetitive nature of the scheme used in the original Heat method. There are no penalty traps in this track and it has rougher grass, deep sand, and slick grass in key areas.
This Heat conversion has several fixes, changes, additions for Heat, some of which are:
overcome some Heat limitations based on sheer size of the model.
many hole fixes, sinage additions, raised curbing, bumpier/slick sections for corner cutting.
Trees:entire rebuild, sky/skybox development to limit texture "painting" at long distances/etc.
track re-texturing, Wall/Barrier additions/changes/fixes, much re-texturing throughout.
Rebuilt pitroad/garage area for 43 working pit stalls that should be large enough for cars in all Mods.
etc, etc additions/changes.

Cadwell Park is a motor racing circuit in Lincolnshire, England, 5 miles south of Louth. It is sited across a steep-sided valley, giving rise to dips and crests. This spectacular circuit is one of Britain's best kept secrets being nicknamed the 'Mini Nürburgring'.
Located in the Lincolnshire Wolds, Cadwell Park was established in 1934 by Mr. Mansfield Wilkinson of Louth. His sons originally used the land for racing their own motorbikes against each other and this evolved into the circuit which it is today. The initial circuit was a track of broken chalk laid around the old manor house and gradually developed over the years. The Wilkinson legacy lives on with three corners of the track being named after the family - Mansfield, Charlies and Chris Curves.
In 1953 the track was lengthened to 1.3 miles (2.1 km), upon the invitation of the 500 cc motorcycle-engined Formula 3 to race in a traditional bike meeting. The original track grew to the current 2.25 miles (3.62 km) layout in 1962, providing 3 layouts with different technical aspects and large elevation changes.
It is often regarded as one of the more dangerous UK racing circuits, due to its narrow and twisting nature, and huge elevation changes. The circuit must be treated with respect.

I would like to thank:
Philrob and Motorfx: for giving permission to convert their track
DaveO: for all the testing, feedback, setups, GCF, and laughs along the way.

I will need to revisit this some day to see what I might be able to do with that.
