A while ago there was some talk of the original Nurburgring being converted
over from GPL to other sims. Did this ever happen or was it cancelled due
to legal issues with Papyrus?

There'll then be another Racer version in a few months (or however long it
takes) with improved accuracy and higher detail. We're messing about with
the track in MAX matching it up to GPS data from motorbike laps, trying to
correct for the distortion in the original GPL track.
SBDT are apparently making the F1 2002 version but I don't know anything
about that.

I have heard that too, but it begs the question, if N4/N2002 are
based on the GPL engine, why did they impose an artificial track length
limit? And furthermore, if they added code to specifically block longer
tracks, wouldn't a savvy Hex-editor type person be able to find that data
and excise it? (isn't it wonderful being programming illiterate and having
all sorts of preconceptions about others abilities!)
