Stahler should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Why do your own track modeling, when the community has done it for you
I think you are right, RBR uses exactly the same track which is available publicly. I am puzzled by this - how can they have exact data then? Maybe they have some private laser scanned version which they don't want to show but I quite doubt this.

As an example, Sebring. I've drove there in Barber Dodge Pro Series and Star Mazda so remember it well. Tried several version on rFactor and it was just a piece of junk, totally unrealistic, but the laser scanned version on iRacing is pretty much spot on as I remember it.
Of course, nothing can match a proper laser scanned track. There is no accurate version of Sebring in rFactor right now but there is one in production. It's being made by Virtua LM and it should be as good as a non-laser scanned track can be.
