History:
The road was constructed between 1970 and 1974, during the rule of Nicolae Ceauşescu. It came as a response to the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet Union. Ceauşescu wanted to ensure quick military access across the mountains in the event the Soviets attempted a similar move into Romania. Consequently, the road was built mainly with military forces, at a high cost both financially and from a human standpoint—roughly 6 million kilograms of dynamite were used on the northern face, and about 40 soldiers lost their lives in building accidents. Due to this, the road is referred to as "Ceauşescu's folly".

Things to do:

Texturing: A lot of work is needed on the land and a bit on the tarmac.
Material: I'm having a few difficulty with this as the mo. Trying to get Multimap to work. not much luck. Any tips would be fantastic.
3D model of the road: First stage of the Hi-rez road mesh is done.
3D models of other objects: I have a few already made up like some new cars at the side of the roads. I'd like to change them all. I was also looking at changing the 3D people. And im looking at remaking some of the buildings as well.
AI: None ATM
Cams: None ATM
Timing: Mostly working. Timing starts when you start a session not when you cross the start line but it does take your time when you cross the finish. It also restarts the timer. This is the best i can do for the moment as its a game issue which will been fixed in the future.
