Description     	: The northernmost racing circuit in whole World! Mo i Rana is a small city in northern Norway, few miles from the Arctic Circle, where a small non-permanent circuit in Rossvoll held local races up to the early 1990s. In 1995 the locals built a permanent racing facility for motorcycle races: Arctic Circle Raceway, few miles north from Mo i Rana, and few miles south from the Arctic Circle. This 2.33 miles (3.75 kms) racing circuit held some races of Scandinavian racing series in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and since than held races of some Norwegian series. Due to its remoteness, 12 hours by car from Oslo and 7 hours from Trondheim, Arctic Circle Raceway gradually was forgotten by major regional series, and even the Norwegian series prefer the nearest Rudskogen and Valer, both placed not too many far from Oslo. Arctic Circle Raceway is a fast circuit, with interesting long-radius turns.

* Installation *
1. 
(if you already have new tracks on the game jump to STEP 2): 
patch the game with a util that obliges the game to read the tracks
from the harddisk. These utils are gp2nocd or trakonhd. 
Search for one of them on the net and install it. This program will 
create a new directory called "circuits": you have to copy there 
ALL the 16 track files (F1ct01, F1ct02...........F1ct16)

2. 
Place the 'articjam' directory from the ZIP file into the Gp2 'gamejams' directory.

3. 
Place the Arctic Circle Raceway_Norway_2004.dat file in the circuits directory. It runs the best in slot 06, others slots was not recently tested.

4. 
Start Gp2 and drive...........
