what kind of buildings did you have in mind?
I think of cobblestone paths and houses with flower pots myself..

Buildings can probably be borrowed from 0 A.D. Next alpha release will introduce Romans, so seems like it would be a good time to get some high-quality stuff from there.

Would I be current day Roman ruins or take place in the past?
I would suggest making the track go through the Colosseum/arena.
Also it would be nice to add some Roman countryside with an aquaduct and rows of olive trees or a vineyard.
By the way my tip for track making not to start with a layout, but rather with a series of views, like movie shots.

That's not in Rome, nor is it roman, since it was built in the 12th century.

Built in the 17th century, I believe.

STK does not need to be realistic though

I do believe there's difference between realism and correctness. To make a believable world there have to be some rules.

This track needs some Italian music. You could stick to italian composers like Domenico Scarlatti, but I suggest using the work of a frenshman: "Toreador theme" from Bizet's Carmen opera.

There is of course also the option to have the karts enter the Arena and drive 3/4 of a track there, and then exit again. There could be a horse-kart race happening, and the (smaller) karts would have to make sure not to collide with the horse-karts. Though admittedly it would be difficult to model and animate good looking horses.
Cheers,
Joerg

If you make some music that fits with this, I will gladly use it

I am having a problem with vertex painting. it looks fine in blender, but in the track the colors are not right and they don't cover there entire area they are supposed to.

I could fix the last problem but subdividing the painted areas but that would make a lot more faces so I am not sure if it is worth it. Any help?

The fix I have for now is to select all faces in Vertex paint mode and hit Shift-K to set the color uniformously. Unfortunately I don't understand how blender stores vertex colors internally
