On the CTDP V2 version of Bahrain, the track for the most part is a stunning realistic replica of the real thing. The only flaw with it is that the draw distance of the track is clearly designed with older computers in mind, as objects, the outer desert and even the track itself randomly pop in and out into the distance, which can be distracting while driving. A few months ago I found a tutorial on how to increase the draw/render distance of a track by modifying the .cam file inside the layout's directory, and lo and behold, it worked.
However, this presented to me a new problem. Four layouts out of the five appeared in an alphabetically correct folder named "Bahrain International Circuit", yet the fifth layout, the 24h version, appeared in a second folder at the bottom of the track selection screen. I checked, double checked and triple checked that the VenueName property inside all of the individual .gdb files were identical, even changing its name to something else for the very event that it was the thing I was looking for, and the problem continued to persist nonetheless. Observe the screenshot below:

In the end, I settled on the name "Manama" as that name appeared to work, listing all 5 variants of the track correctly under one folder. However, the second I began adding more tracks, they split off once more. As you can see from the screenshot, Zhuhai also appears to suffer from this problem, as it appears in the middle of the track list rather than the bottom which is where it should appear.
I can attach my modified version of Bahrain if you'd like, the CTDP V2 variant is ridiculously rare for something that was released in 2009 whilst the older, unrevamped 2006 original is a lot easier to find online. I'm more than happy to let someone else have a go at it just to get to the root of my problem so I can continue to modify my personal version of the game without further hindrances.
