This improves things for #4378 but is not a comprehensive solution. It also includes unrelated improvements to this screen. - Switch from 2 track rows to 3 track rows. This allows to show more tracks at once. Nonetheless amount of white space between track pictures is still significant. Showing the track name below each track is part of the issue, as it needs space on the bottom and margins on the side to avoid track names overflowing onto each other. Word-wrap for track title would incur a small vertical cost while gaining a lot of horizontal space. Alternatively, the track names could be hidden and only shown on hover (like the game's main track selection screeen). - Select the standard set of tracks by default instead of all. - Reduce the amount of vertical spacing for the buttons below the track picker. - Group laps/reverse and ok/cancel vertically instead of horizontally. This creates clear visual blocks, as the reduced vertical spacing didn't work out well otherwise. - Add a new selected track picture. The selected track's name is always shown as title, but some users may miss it or not know track names well enough. Now, which track is going to be added to the GP when clicking ok is obvious. - When selecting a different track, change the lap number to the track's default.

- You should have a dual-core CPU that's running at 1 GHz or faster.
- You'll need at least 512 MB of free VRAM (video memory).

3D coordinates
A reminder for those who are looking at the code and 3D models:
SuperTuxKart: X right, Y up, Z forwards
Blender: X right, Y forwards, Z up
The export utilities perform the needed transformation, so in Blender you just work with the XY plane as ground, and things will appear fine in STK (using XZ as ground in the code, obviously).
