The roads and the parkings are way too small compared to the actual player's cars. I don't really see the need to make it like that, because in most areas where the roads are running, it looks like the roads could have been 2 - 4 px wider with ease. Like in Symmons Plains you chose to not put landmap cars... Those empty parking spots look wrong IMO. Another thing which I have already seen at your Sachsenring (but here it disturbs me even more) are the "rounded stacked concrete walls". I believe you placed them with Snakeditor? It may be personal preference, but in my eyes it doesn't look good when a normal sized wall is "blown up" to the double of its original width, if the radius is small. You actually have a solution for this already, like shown at the pit exit wall on the inside... I think this looks a lot better already. Or you could also try to simply accept the "edgyness" (that's often my way of coping with these problems 
). Lastly, I think the Kerbs look a little bit messy. I appreciate that you did the research to find so many different types of kerbs. But I think it would look better if you would reduce it to max. 2 stlyes over the entire track. The kerb on the short straight in the bottom-left certainly looks veeery messy... 
Also, was the inside of the straight between corners 1 and two meant to be made out of ice? 
For instance, I very much appreciate the trass dithering in the grass araeas which are a little bit bigger, the object placement is very good (apart from what I said about the walls) and all the scenery objects are also placed very carefully, as far as I can see it... 
I agree the roads *could* have been wider in retrospective, scaling everything else starts to become weirder and weirder (once you start scaling it with wall gaps, then it becomes chaotic). Again, doing so impacts whether I use cars or not and I tend to think LMap cars are more distracting than not, it's really just a style thing that I prefer, where scenery doesn't become too dominant, I can't get on board with LMap cars, probably might, we shall see. The size also means I could create a more forest like environment, something other versions of this missed quite a bit. 
My best guess in the real world they are additional grid marks. Including them is just as meaningful as the turn markers, it's for show. I don't mind adding little details like that, it makes it feel a bit less cookie cutter. (same point can be applied to kerbs) Actually tried a different strategy on straights by making the segments double the length to keep the cars a bit more steady (except near the end of straights) and it seems to have solved a few issues with wiggle or cutting corners. , it's exactly what I ask for and while I don't want to stray too much now from a style I enjoy making, I will understand it's not how everyone would do it. My main focus is to try recreating the tracks for GR with fun, then realism next, mostly because I enjoy the challenge.
