I'm not sure I would trust a units conversion site that
actually puts zeros into otherwise significant figures...

Nit picking, perhaps, but it's not the same is it ? :-)

1649.300 = 1609.304 ? SCNR :)
BTW: Michael, if you really need different, special
test tracks, look into the GPLEA track creating tutorial.
Within an afternoon you should be able to do an oval
with any desired properties.
(I can do a driveable oval from scratch in 10 minutes, maybe
15 if you want banking :)
The really big part of track creation is the addition of details
(Trees, signs, spectators, houses, flagposts, the *** girl, etc..),
the AI, setups, cover, .. none of this is needed for
your performance tests, so you really can be set within minutes!
