I'm surprised I havn't seen more talk about this possibility?

The reason you havn't seen any discussion of this here is simply that it
would amount to idle speculation. The use of the physics engine says nothing
about file format and game format compatability.
The whole thread would go something like this:
"Wouldn't it be cool if we can use N4 tracks in GPL and vice versa?"
"Yeah, that would be cool."
Wouldn't it suck it if we can't?"
"Yeah, that would suck."
There, I've completely covered the subject all by myself.
What we ARE doing is holding our breath and waiting until we actually have
some facts to rely on.

P.S . I loved playing Indy 500 on my Amiga, more so than any other game to
date. Ovals are cool to do, not to watch (gee, just like golf!) Can't wait
for N4. I hope it doesn't have that 'canned' car jiggle. Hated that in the
N2 demo.

I thought that's just what we're good at?

lemme put in two cents here for speculation
N2/N99 can be said to be one track format. GPL the other(although
somewhat similar)
. If the Wizzes like Dave
Noonan can make those two formats work together, then I would expect the
file formats for N4 and GPL to mesh up very nicely. I would expect the
problem tracks with Big Elevation changes that GPL can do but N3 cannot
will be very possible with an GPL>N4 convertor.(can you say TPTCC
touring
car patch races at the RING!)
