According to OLR, they're not going to be supporting 3rd-party or GPL-
converted tracks in Nascar4.

That royally sucks ass.

If you think about it, you can understand why.

Look back at N3.. how many different versions of Daytona were there?  About
5 or 6 before the "official" one came out.

If they start supporting 3rd party tracks, trying to enforce "no cheating"
would turn into a nightmare

Bah, everybody can already change whatever local client track.dat he has, I
don't think OLR or WON.net have some sort of checksum.

The only reason why GPL tracks didn't work well for everybody in N3 was
because of Sierra's decision to not support them.  Be sure that GPL tracks
in N4 won't work because nobody has the legal guts to support them.

Everybody will just have fun either hotlapping alone or with the stupid AI.
Whoopiddy-woop.

Oh yeah I forgot, the same thing happened with the converted NASCAR Legends
tracks and the converted NR99 tracks.  They could had added incredible
freshness to the online community but nobody had the guts to support them,
putting the good old "cheating" excuse while it's still possible to cheat
easily by everybody on plain simple tracks.

  Whaddya mean NOBODY has the guts?  Using the N3 versions, the TPTCC league
has been racing N3 tracks, GPL tracks, handmade tracks,
and even the older ICR2 tracks.    SOMEbody has been using them...expect a
'few' gpl tracks for N4  but there won't be a league running the GPL tracks
for a while yet..

The guts about the corporation called SIERRA that hosts the servers and
creates the legalities of the situation, not you guys you know that ;-)

Lawyers should all burn in hell! LOL
