World Grand Prix - Street Circuits Welcome!

[Gullwings]

I'm thinking about creating a fictional "role-playing" racing game, and I'm making some tracks for it. They are around 20 cities from around the world, generally 8-16 miles. But on the screenshot I'm showing you, it is not so robust-sounding.

The event...

Grand Prix of Sydney
Sydney, Australia
2.29 Miles

The track map is attached.

Also, a question - what is a good software other than SketchUp or Google Earth that many use to create a track? Not a street circuit, but a regular track.

Just so you know, here are the 20 cities I am planning to "host".

1. Tokyo, Japan
2. Alexandria, Egypt
3. Warsaw, Poland
4. Acapulco, Mexico
5. Rome, Italy
6. Stockholm, Sweden
7. Sydney, Australia
8. Cape Town, South Africa
9. Vancouver, Canada
10. Buenos Aires, Argentina
11. Panama City, Panama
12. Helsinki, Finland
13. Monaco, Monaco
14. Rio De Janiero, Brazil
15. Shanghai, China
16. Jakarta, Indonesia
17. Washington D.C., United States
18. Hong Kong, China
19. London, England
20. Paris, France

I'm hoping to map all of these on the streets of these cities. I've got Cape Town, Vancouver, Rio, London, Sydney, and Paris done, and will be working on D.C. soon.

Sydney, Vancouver, Helsinki, Monaco, Rio and Wachington already have or have had street-races, so they are easy. Rome, Buenos Aires and Sjanghai have international ciruicuits close by. That should offcourse not stop you to think of a street-circuit as well :-)

The ciruit of Sydney is located in the area that hosted the 2000 Olimpics.
