I think I once saw a listing for a track converter [that required purchase], that let you convert Nr2003 tracks to GPL...Does it work in reverse???

Or is there another utility out there somewhere to bring GPL tracks into Nr2003???

Dave Noonan has converter's for everything!

https://www.sim-garage.co.uk

He has the GPL converter which takes tracks from ICR2, NL, N2/N99, N3, and N4.
He has the NR2k3 converter that get stuff from ICR2, GPL, NL, N2/N99, N3.

Remember if you decide to purchase the converter and start converting all the tracks he says are available, you may think that some are missing from lthe list when running the app.  That's because you have to convert the remaining tracks using the free demo of each converter.

(Why he didn't include the demo tracks in the paid version I have no idea.  But it's great anyway.)

Oh, and don't go and try putting all the converter files from the paid version and the demo into one directory thinking that will make one app recognize all the tracks.  It won't work.

Geez, in all my excitement I forgot the actual answer to your question.
His famous "oval" track converter is available here....

It converts ovals from N2/N3 and NL.

...But his converters will only convert included tracks from the respective games...Not add-on tracks...

IOW, if you want a track from the GPL Track Database to convert into Nr2003, you are SOOL....
