I just ran an update on the GPL track database to generate GEM+
pictures for all the 370 available tracks. You can see/get them
individually for each track on the page where you view the full size
program pages, the GEM+ pic is at the bottom of that pop-up page.

Alternatively you choose "GEM+ track pics" in the "Show results as"
drop down box and search by any criteria you feel like :D The
pictures you see are half the actual size. Right click and choose
"Save Picture as..."

This search (the link below) will show the GEM+ pictures for the top
64 rated "must-have" tracks:

This is a full size example:
(GEM+ scales it to fit whatever size you choose it's program window)

Cheers!

PS: I went mad last nite and verified ALL 370 track downloads. Yes, I
actually started a download for each and everyone.... Some sites had
dissapeared or moved and some where still there but the actual
download link didn't work. For the few tracks that I just couldn't
find anymore I host the download file on my site.

Just in case you start feeling unappreciated.

BIG THANKS!!!!

YOU ROCK!!!

And to all the guys *still* doing the incredible quality of work that
is becoming a GPL / Nascar staple, thank you all too.

Regards all,

Wonderful work, as always. Thank you. I'm never going to get to drive
them all! BTW I was able to get to Laguna Seca for the recent Historic
Sports Car race. (The Can-Am cars were a highlight for me, as was a huge
collection of Minis.) When I got back to GPL, the track was very
faithfully rendered. Having been there, I was able to take another 2
seconds of my pb.

I'm still having trouble braking into Turn 2 and the Corkscrew. All the
real "vintage" cars at the races seemed to be able to brake much later
than I can in GPL; but, then, they all had slicks, too. I find I have to
break at the top of crests in the middle of turns! Whoopie!

For some reason, Turn 11 keeps screwing me up. I messed it up in real life, I
messed it up in ICR1 & 2, and I mess it up in GPL. Grrr...

That outside wall (at Turn 11) beckons like the Sirens. All I can do
there is take it freakin slow and try a late apex.
