I just want some clarification, I assumed that the STCC names of the track (the ones mentioned in the broadcasts) were their own. But I want to make sure. Are there any "official" names for the sections of each track?

They are their own and are 100% unofficial.

A few months ago I posted my idea of giving the corners a name. I was told to search, as it was posted a looong time ago before my post. The moral of this story is: learn from the mistakes of others

I remember there was a site that had a vote one the corner name, but i don't know what heppened to it. Was a good idea, just need to find the link.

BTW it was also unofficial.

That voting site was a good idea at first, but improper direction, poor naming conventions, and stages of the project weren't well thought out. It could very well come back, but it needs to go in stages... track by track, one configuration at a time. There also needed to be other ways of voting for or against someone's idea with the ability to type your reasoning. Reverse configs were never taken into account, and the number of corners was up to the site holders -- leaving what would be judged as two corners, only 1 corner for example (or vice versa).

Without all of this, it was just a naming freeforall, and uninventive as well as unoriginal names were just voted highest on so many tracks. Pretty much one of the big reasons it is no longer around.

But like I said, it could come back, it just needs to be more of a progessive project. Was one of the best community collaboration projects I've seen.

If you can find the very first version of Analyze for speed - the track map of blackwood used - did have official names on it for Blackwood - corners, straights the works.

Its the only one that I know of where officicial names were used - But I dont know whether that was done by the Dev team or the person that created AFS.

There have never been official names of the turns given AFAIK.... not even turn numbers. Except of course, Scawen has mentioned the usual "Turn 1", but that is referring to accidents .
