I won't even try to claim that this is real. It's just mere speculation by me, but I at least put some effort into it.
What made me do this, other than being bored, is a statement by a video game developer I heard a few years ago. He was presenting V-Rally 3 and when he was asked about why the game didn't have the WRC license, he said that acquiring the WRC license means that your game must include every country that is on the resepctive year's WRC calender, but they wanted to include fewer countries and focus on them. I can't prove this, it was on a German TV show, and even if I could, no one knows if that regulation has been changed.
However, it inspired me to think that 20 locations = 20 countries, and I actually included all the countries that are on 2008's WRC calender. I copped out by combining Wales and Ireland to Great Britain, though. I tossed in some actual WRC stages for good measure and took out the fictional dirt tracks in return, but kept the ice tracks. I also included every track that is in GT5
and/or rumored to be in GT5. The whole point of it, other than killing some time, was to see with how many unique layouts I end up. Going by 20 locations and 70 layouts, I randomly ended up with 40 unique layouts.
