GPL to N4 (tracks)

Has any of the GPL tracks been converted to N4?  If so where are they (or
the converter).  Im interested in trying Nurburgring, Spa, and even Monza
would be interesting with N4.

  Seeing that video makes it worse. You can almost touch it but no, patience
is a crummy release date. Have you compared .dat sizes between GPL and N4?
Nurburgring in GPL is a tad under 9megs. N4 sears is 9.7megs. Thats 14.2
miles of track for 9 megs in GPL and 10 megs for an almost 2 mile track in
N4. 70 meg dat for N4 Nurburgring. LOL! I dont think it'll work, bummer.
Anyone?

Wouldn't the 'Ring still stay at around 9 mb? The textures, etc. will
stay the same, only the file format will change slightly. N4 uses some
of the biggest textures of any game available, one of the few games to
fully utilise a 64mb Geforce card when all textures, 32 bit colour,
etc. are on.

So I don't see a huge difference, but I'm certainly no expert on
gpl/N4 file formats :)

Then imagine this, I have this on my HD and I'm in the middle of a house
move here, it'll be at least another month before my "racing PC" is up
and running again as it's now neatly packed down sitting in the corner
of my "den" here....now that's "close but no cigar"....:-)

No idea.......

Now there are also those new wonderful GPL tracks that would
be so VERY good in N4, too: Sarthe, Milano, Trenton, Rolex, ...
