I understand that there is a real track (notoval)in NL that can be converted
to gpl. I'm in the UK and cannot get a copy of NL, but would loveyet another
track for GPL. Can anyone help?

A nice thought, except that that page says:

"Shipping: Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S"

So, looks like it's back to square one on that one :-(

Unfortunately: quite correct, because I tried it last night:

"We are unable to process your order since it contains item(s) which cannot
be shipped outside the U.S. We have set the quantity to zero on the
restricted items. You can proceed to order any items in your cart that are
not set to zero, or change your shipping address to a U.S. address. "

And at the moment I haven't got a clue where I can get a copy...

This is weird, I ordered it from amazon as soon as it was available,
and I live in the Netherlands, no problems. I also can't imagine why
they don't ship this outside the US?

you can order it from the sierra us store as mentioned in one of Alison
Hine`s posts. They will charge you $34 US to ship it though. It costs $29.99
and they also have Cart racing for $9.99.

Great except I can`t get the converter (new demo) to list any tracks for N3
or NR1999 even thougth it says N3/NR1999/GPL directory found.

Also the tracks need to be in there, not on the CD (i.e. do a FULL
install). Or point the directory to the CD-ROM directory to directly
convert it from CD.
(not that I did that in practice, but I heard it works, at least for
some source games)

Ruud is right.  You need to point to the directory above "tracks".  For most of
these releases, it is the main directory.  However, for the version of Cart
Racing with rendition ready tracks (which I just got from the link Alison
suggested), you will want to drill down into the CD and point to the directory
above the rendition version of the tracks - dos/rend, if I remember correctly.
And yes, you can just point to the CD (no install is necessary).
