The amount of space that the "bikes" and "tracks" folder take up when the mods are added is very large and taking up crucial space on small SSD's. A sollution would be to allow additional bike and track add-ons to be placed on another harddrive and called upon using a shortcut. This way we can keep the game itself, taking up very little space on the SSD for performance benefits, and keep the 10+GB bike and track add-ons on a standard harddrive.
The game itself takes up 1.24GB but with downloaded bikes and tracks it's now above 16GB and getting bigger, and because of this I find myself removing the game from my SSD completely each time I'm finished playing.
You can play with junctions if you want: https://msdn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/windows/desktop/aa365006(v=vs.85).aspx (https://msdn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/windows/desktop/aa365006(v=vs.85).aspx)
I once used it to "share" the tracks folder across separate GPB installs (same PC).

This might be exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the reply.
Amazing, i now have the game itself on my SSD with the 'bikes" and "tracks" folders now on my HDD using hard links. This saved me 14GBs on my SSD.
