isnt different from what they did on f1 2010?. in dirt 1, the colorado pikes peak, isnt that from the real track? damn i miss that one.
thing is F1 tracks rarely change, and thus it's easy to recreate, since you just need to know the basic layout as it won't change through the years. That, and developers have a LOT of information on the tracks, pictures, basic elevation, sizes, etc.
For rally, the courses changes according to organisers, and you usually won't know where you will go up to the day itself. That and the lack of material of how the stage would look etc makes it a hassle to recreate, and thus it's easier to make up from scratch yourself.
For pikes peaks, since it's the same case with F1 tracks then it can be modeled quite easily
