Good point about the endurance, Rom, I forgot about that fact. :) I still got to find other events on Richmond to test, but I still have a lot on Carrer to unlock, specially NASCAR.

@ IWB1, the tracks might be laser scanned, but we're dealing with just the map. They don't seem to be an accurate representtion of the ingame track. Searching for the data you requested, I came to that conclusion.

For starters, there are minor variations, but in the fbx, the track is only about 6m wide. In fact, in a quick glance at some other tracks, all of them seems to be about the same.

With that incosistency already in mind, I measured the lenght on a line at a distance of 13,5 ft (4.15 m) from the outside line and got 1177 m.

There's the option that the maps were simply vectorized on top of sattelite imagery, aerial shots or another ortogonally projected source. In that case, how it was done will affect our results. I'll try a road course next, because having a track with turns both sides might balance the inner and outer lenghts.
