I currently have a second camera set to show the track and the car only for the mini map.
here
I would like it to show the road completely white and the cars as a simple colored circle. and have the track edges fade out at the end.
You could create an image well above the track that matches the tracks path. Have another image above every car (slightly higher than the track image) and put them on their own layer. The Image should be part of the car or be able to track it’s location. Easiest to have it attached to the car.
Tell the main camera to ignore that layer and have the minimap camera only render that layer. Job done
