I found a ALbert Park track. Its not finished work. The developer decided to lose interest and I tried it but no can do! Will some very talented track developer PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE make a Albert Park track! I dont car if its the today track as Im aware that maybe lack of data from the 1960's. It may be more or less the same track if you do today's Albert Track. Definetly worth the time!

Yeahm it would be nice to get one. But do you have any experience with track building?
If not, better check the tutorial:

With a total of 599 in the ATDB........ you request for a track ..............?

I have driven them all!
And I find it rude to ask for anything more

That alpha version is of the original 1953 layout.  In those days they simply closed the public roads around the lake for the weekend, held the spectators back with some ropes strung between the trees and protected the drivers by leaning the odd haybale against a few of the bigger trees.  The organizers were much more concerned about the temperature of the podium champagne than about any safety measures.  There is no way you could drive modern GP cars around the old circuit.  There is a modern version of the track available for GTR2.  I know it is possible to convert GPL tracks to GTR2 but I don't know if it is possible to convert the other way around.  I suspect that both versions of the track for GPL would have to be made from scratch.

Just for fun i had a look if gp3togpl could convert Albert Park to a GPL track but it serves me with an error at step 1.
So that's a no go i'm afraid
