Instead of worrying about the legal issues of creating certain tracks why not create a software that will allow the user to build a new track from scratch. This way if "certain" tracks are built Papyrus could include a disclaimer stating that Papyrus is not responsible for tracks created by the software.
Good idea man but if it doesnt do anything to promote or help the
online racing thing papy has then forget it. Hawg
Also have you though how difficult it is going to be to use one of
these editors? I know for a fact that some of the programs used were
written in house and most likely (like myself and other software
developers I know) their just cobbled together to perform a specific
task without being considered for release.

Chet.
Sorry guys. Papy isn't gonna release any track editor nor will they
give the info out to help someone else make it. I can't blame them
either. The tracks are all copy protected and their use is contracted
to Papy for Nascar Racing.
Can't say much about reverse engineernig though <g>.
