You should have bought NR2003 for $20 instead.

can't find it in NZ at the mo....

Do N2k2 or N2k3 tracks work in N4, or is there a way to convert them?

   It would probably be possible, but I think N4 was much more lockedup
than Nr2k3.  You just won't find too many people who still run it.   THere
was a one online league that swore N4 was much better than k2 or k3 for low
end computers,  but I think all make pretty similar system demands.

   Due to the fact that 2k2 and 2k3 came out with improvements over N4, it
has basically been orphaned by the sim community.  Heck even 2k2 is just a
memory.  2k3 with it's mods are probably the simplest way to gain access to
the largest number of tracks.  N4 & 2k2 had built in track length limits
which meant that even Dave Noonan's convertor couldn't bring in all the GPL
tracks.  
  Here's a link to Simracing Connection's N4 track list.  I have no idea if
the links are still good.

Thanks :-)

I was wondering if there were any more road courses

also, are there any road courses for NT2003? Specifically, can tracks be
converted from EA's F1???

   It is usually easier to convert forward from an older product to a newer
one.  Going back brings in too many new variables that could crash the
older sim.  N4 was a paticularly hard sim to mod.  The track conversions
came quite late in it's life cycle.  I really doubt you will find more.

   Getting tracks to F1c from Nascar Thunder is possible so the reverse may
also be true.  But you will have to edit some files.  I'd try and find a
Nascar Thunder league site.
They may be able to help you.  Search Race Sim Central for John Bodin.
He's the Thunder guy these days.  JBxrl I think is his RSC name.
