So for those who care about the tracks I made for APT, Here's a few more fun facts about the tracks or their history from our heads.....
-Pensacola is very old and was meant to have a flat version from the 60s.

-Orlando was and is never meant to have a RC.

-New Jersey was built as a speedway as wide as Auto Club, but got reconfigured to improve the racing.
-Orlando is Tiburon, with the name changed in 2009 after EA lost their NASCAR contract.

-Vancouver is a mix between Bristol, North Wilkesboro, and Darlington.

-Paris exists due to a failed APRS series based on ovals around the world. It was built entirely off of Atlanta97
-Pensacola went through a complete remake in 2016 to improve the racing, banking transitions, and other issues.

-Valkenburg was a passion project as I fell in love with the original and wanted to bring it up to 2019 safety standards.
-Orlando is rotated in Sandbox due to my original ignorance to rotating the trackmap from a screenshot while building the layout. This has caused a multitude of issues in each version when it came to trying to get the AI working and placing pit stalls.
-There were 1990, 1999, and 2000 versions of Pensacola and Orlando that were made exclusively for APRS. Some got released, but a couple of them got lost or were to unstable to release.
-There are about 10 - 15 1990 versions of Super Speedway tracks that were made exclusively for APRS to use in a Retro Super Speedway Series. These tracks were never released due to not obtaining the proper permission to edit the tracks.
-There is an unreleased 5 Mile version of Papyrus that I made for the APRS Super Speedway Series. It was named K&N Motorsports Park and ran full throttle with no issues as a Super Speedway Road Course.
-I put together 7 versions of Texas World for APRS that never were able to be released due to major AI issues or other problems.

-There's an abandoned 3 Mile SS track called Jacksonville Super Speedway. This was Littlefield (I think) with a lot of tweaks and new banking.
-Pensacola was originally meant to be built on or near the Naval airbase in Pensacola. This is why it has the color scheme of the US NAVY Blue Angels.
-Denver Motorsports Park exists as I noticed a major lack of major speedways in that area of the country and also wanted to make a semi flat D shaped oval slightly shorter than Daytona, but longer than Michigan.
