1) ABOUT
=================================================

If there is one thing you take away from this track, even if you hate it, is its definite proof that I was the one who made this thing. No one else in the community would make something this outlandish.

Welcome to Taylor Swift Superdome! This 682 million dollar stadium was built in the heart of New York, New York. This stadium is a multi-venue facility that has a football field in the middle and a race track surrounding it. The idea is this stadium can be rented out for various events such as football games, concerts, and even races. The idea naming the track after my favorite singer Taylor Swift came into being when I got the idea if a famous and wealthy person commissioned to build a stadium. Many NFL stadiums are built after banks or other corporations so I figured why not base a stadium on a very influential person for this one. I always wanted to make a track with an excuse to have Taylor Swift in it so it came as a no brainer really. A stadium like track seemed to fit perfectly as well since it fits the vibe of a concert like viewing experience as well.

Some may see some similarities of this track to the well known Nascar Thunder game that had a track called 'Dodge Raceway' and you would be right. I took inspiration of that stadium like track and made a bigger and more buff version essentially. While this one does not race anything close to that track you will still get a similar atmosphere being surrounded by towering stadiums and the pit road on the outside of the track under the grandstands.



=================================================
2) KNOWN ISSUES / THINGS TO BE AWARE OF
=================================================

While this track was tested for a long time ironing out AI issues there will be still some minor things you may see occur still:

- Pit road being on the outside and the high speed cars carry some accidents are prone to happen as AI cars try to come in or out of the pits. While a lot of focus was made to fix these issues (and significant gains were made) its not 100% unavoidable since most times it comes down to just simple 'racing incidents' and Ai racing hard (as they should be racing hard). So keep an eye out when you plan to pit or competitors pit or you might find yourself in a wreck.

- The track is high detail so if you have a low end pc framerate will be an issue. This track as with all tracks I make, was best optimized as possible while still keeping the quality I expect in every track I make.



=================================================
3) TRACK FEATURES
=================================================

As with every track I make there are many features that are accustom to all my tracks and a few special bonuses that make the track specifically unique

- Custom 3do's litter this track everywhere. Like most tracks I make, over 95% of the 3do's on this track were specifically built for this track that you won't find on any of my other ones.

- Custom textures and graphics tailored to this track specifically. This track uses all custom textures and graphics. No default NR2003 textures will be 
found here. Enjoy high detail quality on the racing surface and walls that will immerse you into the track.

- Race how you want: Multi-groove lanes in the corners allow for some really good side by side action all the way around the track. If you think the low lane is the only way to pass cars you'll be mistaken. This track gives you and the AI multiple ways to pass for a fun racing experience. There are times later in a run with warm tires that are worn you can even dime in the corners and come out near the bottom of the track to gain an edge. 

- The night version (aka closed dome version) gives you the option to race at night with the dome open or if you choose, with a simple file change, (found in the night version of the track) you can close the dome to protect from weather elements or has an enclosed roof.

- Caution lights on this track are a little different than what you may see on other tracks. Instead of caution lights near the track walls, whenever a caution occurs you will see all 3 billboard rows in the grandstands light up with caution signs. Regardless of where a driver is on the track this 360 degree system will allow drivers to easily know when the yellow flag has been thrown. Not only does it make cautions apparent for drivers but all the fans in the stands will be just as aware as well.

- One of the new things seen in 2015 for Nascar was many tracks indicating on the racing surface or walls where the restart zone is located. You'll see this reflected in this track as well.

- There are several fun easter eggs hidden around the track. Can you find them all? Only hint I will give is they can all be found in the pit areas under the grandstands.
