    The Arctic Circle Raceway is a racetrack in Norway just below the arctic circle near the city of Mo i Rana. It was built in 1995 on an old quarry and features a 3.75km (= 2.33mi) long, undulating track through beautiful scenery.
    Due to it's location, the sun stays up almost 24h a day in the summer and almost never comes up in the winter.
    I will try to represent this with the in-game sun, making it move across the sky as if it was the 14th of May, the day it is on the map.

    A few months ago I was looking around on racingcircuits.info to look for a new project, and stumbled across this https://www.racingcircuits.info/europe/norway/arctic-circle-raceway.html track.

    It's not a port, I will be making this from scratch

    the sun now travels how it would at the real-life location on may 14th (the day that it is on the map) with sunrise around 3:20 and sunset at 22:30
