Psychoman should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Central Park, NY

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=210624
Circuit made on the southern end of Central Park in New York City; integrates Columbus Circle into the track, with West 59th Street as a S/F straight. Runs counterclockwise. I imagine there'd be some elevation changes--I'm using the G-Map Pedometer page, which isn't letting me see elevation changes, but Google Earth shows it to be slightly less than completely flat.

It looks fast and flowing, bu alot of citizens would object to the idea. around 3600 people walk through that park a day.

That's why it's a fantasy track Of course it seems any track within the boroughs of New York is a fantasy in itself

It uses part of the track used in GT4, the round-a-bout part. good, I like it.

If you like the roundabout corner, and the ressies in NY object, something similar could always be built in Milton Keynes. Lots of them turns, and lots of neck injures like Ceaser's Palace .

1--go to gmap-pedometer.com
2--find the area you're looking for (it only searches city names; if you're looking to make one around a particular location, i.e. a stadium, you may need Google Maps in another window to help)
3--click start recording
4--double-click your start point. It will center on that point, and mark it. Double-click the next point, and it will draw a straight line to that point. Continue like that until you have completed your circuit.
5--Center it. Notice it will still consider that a point, and draw a line accordingly; simply click "undo last point" and it will keep it centered while removing the unneccessary leg.
6--Zoom out/in to the desired distance/map size, and click "Save Route". When it is done saving, it will produce a link to your route.
