Yep, the Trax printout I did a while back says "Grand Prix Circuit" on it, so I'm rather hopeful its the full 3.1 mile jobby!

I wonder what speed I can get on Hanger Straight? :-D

He-heh, not as sad as me - I've reinstalled an old grand prix game to check it out again, AND, I was just watching highlights of the 1992 British Grand Prix..... :$ ....so I'm now an expert and am prepared to impart my knowledge to you all:

Copse, medium corner - flick right, a little bit tight, but we'll make it (just)

Maggotts, Becketts then Chappel (the esses) are a bit of a handful in 6th at 190mph, but the VR4 may be able to thread a needle through them at say, 110mph.... :laugh:

Hanger Straight: :-b

Stowe: Woooooaaaah there, "right turn Clyde".

Down into the Vale then back on the anchors for a left-right at Club.......

....then the track changes a little between what it used to be. A flick left then right (built to slow cars down like on all circuits after Senna's crash :( )

Then right under the bridge then it's into the boring bits (F1-wise).... 90 degree left, 90 degree left, 90 degree right, 90 degree right.....

...floor it again, wave to the cameras in the grandstand, new lap!





Ok, I'll get me coat!
