Hi Mike,
Not only are the above two tracks good, both graphically and to race
on, but IMO, most of the converted tracks look as good as the GPL
tracks..
Heartland Park, especially in F3 is great, Riverside looks better than
SearsPoint IMO, then the rendition & 3d enhanced tracks from ICR2 look
and perform great as well.
IMO, the ovals of Milwaukee and Gateway, both look and perform better
for on-line racing than does IMS and not to mention how well the Mesa
Marin and Thompson ovals play in F3.
Ontario and Pocono both look fantastic and play the same. :)

Cheers,
Ron

I do agree, Uncle, that 1998 is not as challenging as the N2 version.

Exactly, it's become too easy in a way, and very difficult to overtake
on as Dave H points out in another post, the old one was really tricky
to set up a car for, the only real challenge now is getting through the
"chute" in one piece, and you set up your car for that corner and live
it it as best you can, at least in N99/N3, haven't had a chance to try
it in GPL yet though, real life issues are getting in the way of my sim
racing these days, hate that :-)

Beers and cheers

Having never driven any course and only seen Portland, I can't attest
for much, but try looking at the AMA Superbike demo. Lots of dloads
later, you'll see a pretty good Mid Ohio.
