Added GP3-2000 versions of all 20 "hardware" tracks in one package. You will most likely need the original GP3 package for the JAMs for these tracks. Thanks a lot to Thomas Stuhrmann for the magic data for GP3-2000. This is probably my final GP3 effort.
10-9-2001
Added software versions of Detroit 1987 and Watkins Glen 1980, thanks to Isaias Prestes.
9-9-2001
Added a new track, Detroit 1987, USA.
6-9-2001
Added a new track, Watkins Glen 1980, New York, USA.

It has been a while since my last track. I just done have the time or the motivation to do so many tracks so don't expect loads of new tracks in the future.

13-8-2001
Added software versions of Elkhart Lake, Laguna Seca, Mid Ohio, Leon Castille and Lake Kimbolton.

The 'work in progress' page is gone, all tracks are on this page and all tracks should be considered 'work in progress'. That doesn't mean they have problems that will stop you from having a good race.

11-8-2001
Added a new track, Road America, Elkhart Lake, USA. I could have released it before, but I wanted to get rid of as much bugs as possible. Please also have a look at the pitlane, it was quite a bit of work!
9-8-2001
Added a new track, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, USA.
8-8-2001
Updated the package of Laguna Seca, USA, which was crashing GP3 before. It doesn't need GPxPatch in debug mode anymore.

These tracks are not flawless, but all are very raceable and the amount of bugs is limited. To minimize the download size, these tracks (partially) use graphics from GP3's original tracks. Look at the textfile in the zip for information about each specific circuit. All hard work was done by the original authors to create the original GP2 tracks, and I have only converted them to GP3 and where needed I have moved objects and re-applied texturing.

Bugs that you find in this track are there because of my limited track editing abilities, as the original GP2 tracks were nothing short of perfect.

This is a collection of 20 updated tracks. The only difference with the original tracks below is that the tracks in this collection contain "magic data" for us in GP3-2000, together with GPxPatch. There's nothing new in the tracks themselves. Magic data for GP3-2000 has been kindly provided by Thomas Stuhrmann. Note that some tracks require the JAMs from original GP3's Argentina track. Also, this collection doesn't contain any JAM files. You will need to have the original tracks and "upgrade" them with the track files in this collection.

** Most track updates will probably also work with the software version of my tracks, but I haven't tested that. If you have bought GP3-2000, you should have bought a 3D graphics card instead ...

***** This track is a GP3 version of a GP2 track, more than a realistic version of the original track. The real Detroit track looks quite a bit different, and some parts of the track are different as well. However, this is a nice street track, and it should provide good racing.

Grand Prix 3 version of the Watkins Glen, New York (USA) track in the 1980 layout, originally made for GP2 by Malcolm Styles. I have never seen any racing on this track, so it will probably not look realistic. I have done my best though, and I hope it has become a good track.

Grand Prix 3 version of the Road America, Elkhart Lake (USA) track, originally made for GP2 by Roland Ehnström & Martijn Keizer. This very cool track used in CART was one of my favourites in GP2, and personally I really like how it turned out in GP3. The pitlane was a bit of an experiment the result isn't bad.

Grand Prix 3 version of the Imola, San Marino circuit from GP2. This is a fairly rough version (look at the included textfile for details) but it works and I like the layout a lot better than what they have there now. This track uses the JAMs from GP3's original Imola.

Grand Prix 3 version of the long Paul Ricard, France circuit, created for GP2 by Pachi Navarro and Peter L. Kessler. This is the layout of the circuit as it was used before 1986. All adverts and graphics are wrong I guess, but I have done my best to create a pleasant looking track, with the right layout.

The cc-line at the end of the track was slightly updated by Martijn Haans to keep the cars out of the gravel trap there.

This update fixes just about all the problems from the inital version. PK Arnall has done an amazing job making the track look and feel like it should. Look at the included textfile for the changes in this version.
