By the way, after reviewing the little mpg people mentioned last week
(in-car footage from a 60's vintage F2) I am quite impressed with Papy's
work.  

Another thing from someone who is still relative to the 'Ring.  It's very
easy to spin in some sections, and lose the orientation for direction.
I've driven over a kilometer in the wrong direction, thinking "something
is really wrong here" until either the weird clipping gives it away, or I
go vaulting off a hill that wasn't there on the last lap!  What a great
track.  Wish I could crack the 9:00 mark.

Hi Steve
The castle is on the right hand side at the end of the long straight,
Here's a link to a view looking back down the straight from on top of the
castle. http://home.sol.no/~espenm3/pictures_t11_Anteniusbuche.html

What a great

Hehe, I thought the same thing several months ago, but i'm now running sub
8:20's. Just keep practicing, the first 50 laps are the hardest !<g>

Cheers Phil

Don't remember seeing it in GPL either BTW.

Good luck beating the 9:00 mark, first time I succeeded in this, it
gave me a great thrill! Now I'm stuck at 8:41... What was the record
again: 7:57 or something like that? AAARRRRGHHHH!!!!

I think you can see it in the distance from the start of the long straight -
just to the right of where the road meets the horizon.

In fact I think it is easier to get a glimpse of it than beating the world
record (7:57)...

: The proper german term would be "Burgruine" (ruined fortress).

Hey... I learn something new every day!  The part of Switzerland I am
working in right now is full of old ruins.  Now I can correctly identify
them. (And I am not being sarcastic - it is nice to pick up new words from
all sources).

Just imagine that you are making your way through the tight track
surrounded by bushes on either side. You know the one, with the tight
chicanes so to speak. Well, the castle is to the left of the second
left hand turn after the series of esses surrounded by the bushes.

Hop[e that helps, though it probably doesnt.
