  Having lesser known tracks in NFS Pro street just made sense. Like it wouldnt be really realistic if a small "trackday" event were able to afford a complete weekend of Spa or Silverstone. So having lesser known tracks which wont be that expensive makes sense

  A bit of a neato fact for Prostreet is that the Nevada Highway circuits are almost a 1 for 1 recreation of Watkins Glen. But remade to fit the Nevada highway environment.<br>Correction: They are not the exact same. &quot;The Boot&quot; section of the Glen in on the &quot;southern&quot; part of the track, while the version on Nevada is on the &quot;northern&quot; section.

  ProStreet also featured a track called Chicago Airport, which is now demolished and repurposed, but was the former location of Meigs Airport, an iconic location of the older Microsoft Flight Simulator games. Mondello Park was also in GT Legends.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUg0PPWtBQc&amp;t=571">09:31</a>, Gran Turismo featured the Ascari circuit, but not the car make, and Forza Motorsport featured the car make, but not the circuit

  Zolder, while not obscure, was included in NFS Shift 2 as a tribute to the NFS GT3 BMW team taking its first victory there. Super cool of true!

  All hail NFS ProStreet. Ive known Autopolis for years but the INFIELD layout there is something ive never seen anywhere else but NFS. Its only used once in the career in the middle tier an can easily be missed <br><br>Edit: I believe im talking about Autopolis lakeside mentioned in shift 1. Maybe they had a multi year license and put it in shift aswell after prostreet? Its in the prostreet career with a grip race... but (like ebisu touge layout) it cant be selected in quick race

  I think the reason why prostreet had such an obscure track list was because of the grassroots theming of the game. As usually local/smaller courses would be more willing to hold big “amateur” grassroots events in their downtime. Hence playing into the believability of pro street actually happening in real life
