Superspeedways:
Autódromo Ciudad de Rafaela: The largest oval to ever host an Indycar race at 2.873 miles in length Autódromo Ciudad de Rafaela was built in 1952 as a dirt oval to host Argentina’s Turismo Carretera series.

In 1970 the track was widened and the banking in the turns increased to 12 degrees in anticipation of hosting the 1971 USAC Indycar season opener. The twin 53 lap races known as the Rafaela Indy 300 Heat 1 and Rafaela Indy 300 Heat 2 were both won by Al Unser. Despite attracting a 27 car field and nearly 40,000 spectators the event was only major international event hosted at the track. Although the giant oval hasn't hosted an event since the early 2000's local series still race on the facility’s 1.895 mile infield road course or on a modified version of the oval that includes three chicanes.

The facility first opened in 1969 as 0.75 mile oval (that track was used until 1991, mostly for modified races), and then in 1971 the first event was held on the big 2.5 mile track. In addition to the 2 Sprint Cup races the track holds each season, the track is also well known for hosting the annual Pocono 500 Indy car race from 1971-'89.

The track also has a 1.5 mile oval and several different road course configurations (which have hosted Can-Am and IMSA sports car races), all of which utilize at least part of the big oval. The track was inactive throughout much of the 80's, before seeing a minor rebirth in the early 90's which included hosting an ARCA-Winston West conjunction race which drew top drivers like Dale Earnhardt and Hershel McGriff. Although no major events have been held at the track since the late '90's, the facility still hosts amateur and club races on the road course(s) and the oval is still used for testing and driving schools.

Currently the track is owned by Red Bull, but it is no longer being used. This 1970 version of the track was made by David Noonan for GPL and then converted to N3.
Road Atlanta 1970: Originally made for GPL by David Noonan, this 12 turn, 2.540 mile road course is now available for N3 in its 1970 form (the year the track opened). The historic facility located in Braselton, GA has hosted several top road racing series like Can-Am, Trans-Am and the American Le Mans Series just to name a few. The NASCAR Nationwide series also competed at the venue from 1986-'87.
Sandown International Raceway: Hosting horse racing in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia since the 19th century, a road course was constructed for auto racing in 1962. Originally the track utilized a 1.926 mile, 8 turn track layout, then from 1984-98 a 2.409 mile, 17 turn configuration was used, before the track was again reconfigured to the current 1.928, 13 turn layout which is featured in this GPL to N3 conversion. Best known for hosting 76 Australian Supercars Championship races (including the Sandown 500), Sandown also hosted 6 Australian Grand Prix from 1964 to 1978, although all were held before the Australian Grand Prix became an F1 World Championship event.
Silverstone Circuit 1967: Site of the first ever F1 Championship race in 1950, this 2.937 mile, 9 turn road course located in Northamptonshire, England was one of the 11 tracks that came with GPL. Built on a WWII airfield, the track first hosted the British Grand Prix in 1948 and has hosted the race a total of 43 times. In addition to F1, sports cars, motorcycles and even drift cars currently compete at the facility. This track was converted to N99 use by The Pits.
Snetterton Heath Motor Racing Circuit 1964: The 2.667 mile long, 8 turn layout of the historical road course located in Norfolk, England, as it was in 1964. Built on a World War II airfield, the track has hosted many types of formula and sports car events over the years, most notably non-championship F1 races. The track still hosts touring car events. Created for GPL by GPLEA, the track was converted to N3 use by The Pits.
Watkins Glen International 1967: Originally made for GPL, this is the 1967 version of the famous Watkins Glen, NY road course. Built in 1956, to replace the dangerous Watkins Glen Street Circuit, the Glen used this 2.332 mile long, 6 turn layout from 1957 until 1970, which hosted NASCAR races in 1957 and 1965-66 and the U.S. Grand Prix from 1961-'70.
Street Circuits:
Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari 1967: Located in Imola, Italy this 3.118 mile, 5 turn street circuit was created in 1952 so local auto manufacturers (especially Ferrari) could test new designs there. The track has hosted 26 F1 Grand Prix (most recently in 2006) and also still plays host to the San Marino motorcycle Grand Prix. Even though the facility is located in Italy, the F1 events held there were known as the San Marino Grand Prix because Italy already had a F1 race but the nearby Republic of San Marino did not. This scenic 1967 version of the track was originally made for GPL by David Noonan.
Long Beach Street Circuit 1991: One of the most famous street courses in the world, the Grand Prix of Long Beach started out in 1975 as Formula 5000 race run on city streets surrounding the Convention Center of Long Beach, CA. The following season the Grand Prix of Long Beach became a Formula 1 event (USGP West) for 8 years, before becoming a stable of the CART Series from 1984-2008. Due to the reunification of American open wheel racing (and after being an IRL-CCWS conjunction event in '08), the race has become part of the IZOD IndyCar Series schedule. Several support series have also competed at the track over the years, including Indy Lights, the Atlantic Series, Trans Am, the Rolex Sports Car Series, the American LeMans Series and the Toyota Celebrity Race. The list of former winners at Long Beach reads like a who's who of open wheel racing and includes Mario Andretti, Gilles Villeneuve, Nelson Piquet, Al Unser Jr. and Dario Franchitti, just to name a few. Since inaugural event in 1975 the track has used 9 different layouts, among them the 1.670 mile, 11 turn layout that was used from 1984-'91 and is represented in this rendering. The origins of this N3 version of the track are unknown, however it is at least partially based on an ICR2>N2 conversion.
Solitudering 1965: This breathtakingly scenic, 7.069 mile long, 45 turn street circuit was originally made for GPL by GPLEA. A super-long track located in Stuttgart, Germany, Solitude opened way back in 1903 and is best known for hosting Grand Prix motorcycle races, but it also (after the track was widened in 1957) hosted a variety of sports car and formula car events, including non-championship races for F1 cars. The last racing events at the track (excluding historic events) were held in 1965 and that's the era this rendering of the track recreates.

Surfers Paradise Street Circuit: First hosting races in 1991 as a 2.795 mile, 12 turn road course the Surfers Paradise Street Circuit has went on to host 18 Indycar races from 1991 to 2008 (with winners including John and Michael Andretti, Emerson Fittipaldi, Nigel Mansell and Paul Tracy) and 39 Supercars races.
