Monaco for example is typically 78 laps, iGP has 59.. why not change the lap count to 77 or 79?
How is there a copyright on a track layout? lol. I can understand where someone recreates the actual track in reality would be frowned upon but using a model of a track for a game is absurd.
You really can't compare Monaco in real life to the circuit in iGP. The 3D update a few years ago severed any links to reality.
The Monaco circuit length in real life is 3.337 km with, like you say, a lap count of 78.
Before the 3D update in March 2021, in iGP the lap length was 3.34 km and 100% race was 78 laps. So just about the same as real life.
After the 3D update, the layout looked almost identical but the lap length increased to 4.015 km and 100% race reduced to 59 laps.
