    A track is just a series of corners connected by straights. As long as the "fantasy" track is modelled with proper physics/dimensions then there is nothing less realistic about it compared to a "real-life" track, other than the psychological effect a "real-life" track has on you knowing that the same layout happens to exist/have existed somewhere on planet Earth.

    Make an AMAZING track, tell everyone it's some real life ex-F1 track from some relatively unknown part in the world. Design the track with excellent modelling of physics; the kerbs, surface friction, elevations, bumps, weather characteristics, etc. Everything is done extremely well and EXTREMELY realistically. Now, a month later announce to the world that it was all a lie and that as unbelievably realistically as it was modelled, and as unbelievably realistic as the in-game car reacts on that track, that it just doesn't actually happen to exist in real life (well at least on planet Earth lol). Watch then, how it's popularity starts to go down, even though the track is AMAZING and it's modelling obeys real life track design/physics/characteristics as well as any "real-life" track. Sad, but true.

    A fantasy track (within reason, which most are) is no less real/no more fantasy than a "real-life" track, other than psychologically.

    could not agree more

    I have no problem with fantasy tracks, but there are plenty of real life examples that provide excellent racing. Bring these on!
