would they be? Reasons would be nice, too.....
This should be an interesting thread :-)

I haven't had time to get all of the newer tracks but from what I've seen
they are just getting better.
Adelaide - just released, but a superb track, especially for online
racing. Great rythm.
Bathurst - I love the downhill section, very challenging track
Snetterton 67 - allways been a favorite of mine, has the most
'realistic' racing track atmosphere
Jokimaa - rallying in a Lotus 49 :)
Bremgarten - great sensation of speed in the forest section. Hard to
master but very rewarding.
Castle Combe - Graphically the best addon track so far.
So many addon tracks out there, and they are just getting better and
better. And yes, I mentioned 6 tracks, so what :)
Andre
Imola
Oesterreich Ring
Solitude
Riverside USGP
Michigan
I'm putting Michigan in because I think you should have at least one oval,
just for the sake of it.
The other 4 because they are the most entertaining tracks, both for driving
and racing.
Bye,
Leo
It would probably be like driving a bananna peel in a giant toilet bowl, but
it should be fun :)

1) Solitude - blew me away when I first saw it. By far the best addon
track available then, and still right up there. Still the best tree
graphics of all the tracks (thanks to a certain rally game!).
2) Le Mans Sarthe - in the first place, it's Le Mans; and secondly it's
my favourite type of track - fast and flowing, with plenty of passing
opportunities. And as for slipstreaming along the Mulsanne...
3) Bathurst - ridiculously narrow in places, and incredibly difficult
to get right, but incredibly rewarding when (if!) you do.
4) Milano - the best of both worlds - a banked section to give an oval
feel, but the "quasi-Monza" road section prevents the utter boredom
that "left left left" can bring. Fabulous circuit for a BRM spec race,
I kid you not.
5) Castle Combe - given that this is my favourite British circuit in
real life, it would probably have made the list if it was only half-
decent. Thankfully it's a lot better than that. The "rough-edged"
approach to its appearance works superbly. A triumph.

Oh, so *that's* what you're looking for! Why didn't you say so?
Get thee to the Pants Ring then! ;-D

Pants Ring is good for finding the ceiling also. =) Now, what would be
cool is if they could fix Pants ring so that when you take to the sky, you
could land it cleanly. You hit some kind of lip that catches the car on the
way down on the wall even though it appears to be smooth. hehe. Yeah,
yeah...i'm always looking for other ways to pass time...

The one site that did have an Oval (Daytona, no less) apparantly is gone
now...
I didn't see any indy listing either.
Thanks, though!

But thanks for the link. I lost my copy to the dreaded VIA 686B Corruption
Bug, and needed a fresh one anyway :)
Thanks!

If we could also take out the middle wall, we could have a nice halfpipe sorta
thing. :)
