Sorry, ovals don't even show up on my radar. I meant the new road
circuits...which aren't over 5 miles, either (except for conversions like
the Nurburgring). All I meant to imply is that nobody's going to expend a
lot of time and effort to create any new tracks with a whole set of (free)
tools supposedly right around the corner. Thereafter, I reckon, we'll
quickly discover what limitations are built in. I'd hope for a 24-hour race
with GT Prototypes and production GTs, but who knows?

Steve

Shame Dubya didn't remain one the great undiscovered ********** of your
time!

I say '**********' because I don't want Bruce's childlike innocence to
be ***erated by the knowledge that *** and ***** are one and the same. ;)

Oh...HIM!
Down Here we just refer to the US President as "Bush" (or if one is a
respected, serious journalist then it's "President Bush").
We don't use the nick-names or acronyms which are pre*** in the North
Americas, or even in Europe, I imagine.
In fact, most of the time I think that we try and ignore him. ("We" being
the general populace, not necessarily the politicians).

Oh...and thanks so much for the "childlike innocence" bit, Gerry. Most
quaint.

Has that site now incorporated pop-ups, Steve? :(
(I have a filter, so was not aware of it).
Sorry about that.....if I ever get the time I'll move that entire collection
to my current server.

But you're correct, Longford, if created with the same artistic flair as
IoM, would make wonderful addition; Reims with a few more wiggly bits!
It's very picturesque and if set in the late 1950's - mid 1960's it would be
delightful.
(That section of track passing under the railway viaduct is ***y
dangerous, though!)

Thx for the links Bruce, never saw any pop-up's here, but then again I
use a decent browser with built in pop-up killer, and yes, the site
works just fine in Opera :-)

I loved the crossing :-), reminds of that movie Brewster's Millions or
whatever, where they had a rail road track going through the Baseball
park
