  • Tweaks I make while packaging mod tracks for my own use
Folder:
- Rename folder to common track name, no prefixes for zip name sorting later
  - Ex. AC Red Bull Ring -> Red Bull Ring AC

New Track GDB Tweaks:
- VenueName: Lead with keyword in name ie. Imola not Autodromo di Imola
  ^ Year should go before layout indentifier to sort in UI by year
- RoadBump*: Comment out so that Specialfx.tec takes over ie. less/no artificial bumps
- Region: North/Central/South (probably for skies)
- Latitude: Find via Google Maps
- RaceDate: Peak racing month

New Track AIW Tweaks:
- Worst/Mid/BestAdjust and QualRatio/RaceRatio: Use GTR2 original Donington GP 2004 AIW values 

WorstAdjust=(0.7500)   // Used for  70% AI strength option
MidAdjust=(1.0000)     // Used for 100% AI strength option (note that AIs now use full throttle above 95% AI strength option)
BestAdjust=(1.1000)    // Used for 120% AI strength option
QualRatio=(1.0000)     // Used to adjust AI speed in qual compared to base values
RaceRatio=(1.0500)     // Used to adjust AI speed in race compared to base values
