SCGT, are all the tracks real?

I already asked this among other things, but no one answered. So once again: Many of the SCGT tracks are American, and my knowledge of those is very limited. Are they all real, or are there some phantasy tracks among the SCGT tracks? And if they are real: 1) How well they are modelled? 2) Are they used in the real GT3, GT2 and GT1 races? Arto

There are 3 fantasy tracks; Chatam, North Point, and Sardian Park. Chris
I'm interested in the Laguna Seca rendition, as it is the onw track in the bunch I've actually driven. I think they've done a very good job (much better than CART Precision Racing, for instance). My one complaint is that the Corkscrew seems a bit more radical (tighter for one thing) than the real one.

Hi Arto, Chatam, North Point, and Sardian are fantasy tracks; the rest are real, and most are used. I think either Eurosport or Sky Channel will be carrying the remaining races in the American LeMans series, so you might get a look at them there. As to how well they're modeled, I can only talk first-hand about Road Atlanta, and it's not terribly close. They forgot T2 at the top of the hill and the elevation changes are much greater at the real track (though you don't really catch air off the hill towards the finish.:-) The other corners are off a bit as well. They did get some of the recent track improvements in, and it's certainly recognizable, but I had hoped for better. Cheers, Steve B. remove "edy" from address for email
