Anyone else think that it would be a perfect place for a spectacular race track?

Button moon comes to mind. (UK kids tv show from the 80's)

Wow, that thing looks strange

Wow! That's an improbable shape. If I had seen it in-game, I would have thought it was a bug.

Now that I know it's real, I want FD to add that moon shape to the game.
