    Yes - edit the .gdb file and change the VenueName.
    You can name them what you like, but I start all of mine with a zero so they are all grouped at the top of the track list in Automobilista. The group of mods will still be in alphabetical order

    Here's an example for Bathurst:
    Bathurst2010MAX
    {
    Filter Properties = StockV8 *
    Attrition = 30
    TrackName = Bathurst Mount Panorama
    GrandPrixName = Bathurst 2010 - MAX Detail
    EventName = Bathurst 2010 - MAX Detail
    VenueName = 0 Bathurst Mount Panorama
    Location = Bathurst, Australia
    Length = 6.21 km / 3.86 miles
    TrackType = Temporary Road Course
    Track Record = 2:01.567 Shane Van Gisbergen, McLaren 650S GT3, 2016
    TerrainDataFile = ..\BathurstAMS.tdf
    Max Vehicles = 50

    ***** IMPORTANT - Playing online - please see post #4 by Periophtalmus Spintirus *****

    I also change the name of the mod track's folder in Locations to capital letters.

    Example
    Bathurst to BATHURST

    This does not affect the track name in Automobilista, but I find it easier to quickly see all of the mods in the Locations folder.

    ***** Do not change the spelling of the folder name *****

    But think, you won't be able to play these tracks online any more....eccept you share "your" version with friends you want to play with. ;-)
    But BTW, i am re-organizing my mod tracks too. Especially because i love to compare the layouts of a track from different years and don't want to search them all over the place.... :)

    I don't get it!
    For example "06_Pukekohe_Park" .Please help..
    What must i change to have MAINFOLDER=Pukekohe Park and not 06_Pukekohe_Park.
    Subfolder = Pukekohe Park
    I upload the gdb file,maybe can put it right for me as an example.
    In the mainfolder are files beginning all with 06_Pukekohe_Park.
    What must change? All files renaming to "Pukekohe Park" instead of 06_Pukekohe_Park?And the folders too?
    I'm too stupid...

    You need to edit the track's .scn file.
    Here's part of the .scn file for the Bathurst Max Detail track:
    //-------------------------------------------------------
    SearchPath=.
    SearchPath=Bathurst\
    SearchPath=Bathurst\Bathurst2010MAX
    SearchPath=ReizaCommon
    //-------------------------------------------------------

    Red - name of the main folder
    Green - name of subfolder

    I don't think the folder names can have spaces, so your could have this:
    //-------------------------------------------------------
    SearchPath=.
    SearchPath=Pukekohe_Park\
    SearchPath=Pukekohe_Park\Pukekohe_Park
    SearchPath=ReizaCommon
    //-------------------------------------------------------

    Your folders should also be Pukekohe_Park
    The folder names could have capital letters - PUKEKOHE_PARK (SEE POST #3)
