Description	: Vancouver, a tight street circuit in the shoreside of Vancouver, Canada. An Indycar street circuit during the 1990s CART-era heyday. This GP2 version is about the 1994-1997 version of Vancouver street circuit, which was run around the BC Place Stadium, before the complete track layout change in 1998, and after a chicane reprofiled in 1994.

What's new?	: On September 2020 I've changed:
		  - All the tarmarc textures
		  - Most of walls and adverts textures, but keeping the same sponsors
		  On September 2023 I've changes:
		  - Few changes on objects positions

		  - Few changes on camera positions
		  - Fixing minor bugs on turns

List of winners:
Don't need... you all know Vancouver street circuit started activities in 1990, and held Indycar/CART-era races from 1990 to 2004. In 1990 with a slowly track layout with more chicanes and a 90-degree turn just before the last hairpin. In 1991 they removed a chicane after the pit straight and the 90-degree turn as well, creating a brake zone for the last corner as part of a sweep turn before the hairpin. In 1994 they changed an "S"-turn north of the BC Place Stadium, becoming a sequence of slight esses after a new chicane. For 1998 the track changed 2/3 of its original layout, running mostly around the False Creek shore, and leaving the streets around the Stadium. In 1999 they removed a chicane before a long straight, creating a fast sweep turn, and including a chicane before the pit straight. The event ended after the 2004 edition because the False Creek surrounds was chosen to host the Olympic Village for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, and the area would suffer heavy revampings in the years before the event. Vancouver had a slight change to return for international motorsports schedule recently, when a Formula E race was announced for June 2022, but eventually cancelled months before the scheduled date. Part of CART/Indycar calendars for 15 years, Vancouver witnessed wins of Al Unser, Jr., Michael Andretti and the sole win of Mauricio Gugelmin in 1997 before the track changes, plus wins of Dario Franchitti, Juan Pablo Montoya, Paul Tracy and Roberto Moreno on the new track layout from 1998 to 2004, and blah-blah-blah...
