There are so many tracks that could be added. If they dont add them, iGP will become obsolete and GPRO will become much more popular (it has more then twice as many tracks)

GPRO tracks are so simple to make that it takes a few days, iGP tracks takes up to 2 months and the budget is massive.
In order to make a track you need to take into consideration a huge amount of factors and technical challenges, for example: 2D and 3D art assets, layout modifications, documentation about ground levels, bumps, speed, splines, simulation code, optimisation to work in wide amount of devices, qa assurance and beta testing...
Before a GPRO race starts everything is decided, no real-time simulation is involved and cars run like they were in rails, it's all calculated like if a car runs alone the race and then it overlaps all the bits together.
I don't belittle the work of these guys, I just give you the reasons why they can make a new track every few days and we can make two. They are different products, one is more like a group of friends making an amateur game in their spare time and the other is a mass product. Just compare their downloads on Google Play (10K) and iGP downloads (1M+) and it will give you some idea!
