Very interesting variant so far for a race that is often overlooked by stagemakers. Any future projects once you're done with this one?
Keep up the good work! |

Will you stick with 6 stages only? The race was supposed to have 8 stages again after dropping its WT status. |

Let's save the history of PCM together!
Just write me a PM if you have something for old PCM Editions (from 2005 to 2014) - databases, stages, shirts etc. and we'll share it.

That was the plan as it is supposed to be for PCM18, but as you mention might make another two additional for PCM2020 users, don't expect them to come right now.

Just checked and it is also 6 stages in PCM 2020 , so unless it has been changed in the PCM-daily expansion. I see no reason to make additional stages at this point.

The version of Grand Prix Herning I have got in my stages folder (PCM2020) turned out to be a race held near Hirtshals (costal) some 200 km north of where GP Herning is races (indland)
Here is the correct 2020 version (original route but not races due to the virus)
Screenshots from PCM 2020 :
