For all you track designers out there, if you want a real challenge. Try
putting the Isle of Man TT Course into GPL. Only 37.73 miles a lap!

An old idea. What's more, it's already being done.

OK, here's a really good one - put the M25 (london's orbital motoway) into
GPL...no, no, I know, put...nahh - this is getting silly.

I'd rather see someone spend the time to make Castle Combe, Outlon Park,
Mount Panorama, and so forth....37 miles is just, well, too far. I certianly
wont bother with it

I'm so sorry for having a sense of humour.

I'd like to see Pescara, the 15.89 mile circuit used in 1957 (winner: Moss).
Though there is probably not enough information or graphic detail available
now to recreate this.

As others have said, it's being done.

Now, about that Targa Florio course...

No man, a great idea would be the old Monza with the oval configuration.
It's so 3733+, I wonder why nobody has ever thought of it before me??????

The Isle of Man track is for woosies. So is the Targa Florio and the Mille
Milia. REAL men insist on the Pan Americana course at minimum and personally
I'm waiting for someone to do the New York to Paris course.

Not necessarily so - the roads are all still existing and there are
plenty of period photos around. It would probably take a field trip,
plenty of video, satellite photos etc.
