I'm sure you should find something if you go to Google and search something to do with Seattle Circuit and Guides.

like alot of the f1 and champ stuff that track is just regular streets that managed to put together a cool style.

The streets of R246 exist in real life, but has never been raced as a track. Same for Seattle. Monaco, of course, is closely modelled after the F1 course so it has traditional names for most corners. Some of the true fiction tracks, like Deep Forest, have developed their own traditional names like the Bus Stop for the wiggly area between the second tunnel and the big uphill straight. People make up their own names, too, like the Big Hair Pin and the Bobby Pin for the two 180s at Grand Valley.

Oh, okay, so Polyphony Digital just slapped a couple of corners together and called it a track? Pretty sweet then. I'm guessing they had people at the cities who knew the corners, and I'm ALSO guessing those people have a jingle in their pockets now.

I wish Deep Forest was a real track, that baby flows like no other. It's not fair, it's the best track on the game.

Edit: "True fiction". Now THERE'S a phrase! 👍

Check out the thread I just stickied at the top of the board. A lot of effort got put into that a while ago, with some decent information being developed.

Oh, okay. The "which tracks really exist" thread? That seems to be along the same topic, so I'll have a quick look!
