Dear Roland and Gregor,

Just a short note to thank the both of you, and all the other individuals
involved in helping you, for the fine job you've done in creating this
circuit.
It is, for me anyway, the cherry on top of the excellent cake that is GPL.

When the sim was released (and even prior to that date, once we knew what it
would contain) I was delighted to learn that Papyrus had inserted Rouen in
place of Le Mans; the former circuit being the more memorable historically,
and certainly the more challenging.

However, over the past two years, even though we have seen some quite
brilliant circuits created for GPL, I have felt that the "GPL package" was
incomplete. Everything about the game centred on the 1967 season yet, for
all the majesty of the Rouen circuit, it just wasn't "right". It was a
ring-in, if you know what mean.

Your creation has provided the final chapter for me. I now have a complete
"interactive history" of the 1967 F1 season at my fingertips and for that I
thank you sincerely. You have done a wonderful job.

--
Regards,
Bruce Kennewell,
Canberra, Australia.

I would also like to add that this is how I also feel. A very massive thank
you for this great looking track and for completing this amazing sim. I look
forward to your next track.

Mike

I just tried this track last night and I agree entirely.

Well said Bruce.

Ditto from me.

Despite all the negative things we have heard about this track--Jim Clark's
"Mickey Mouse" comment, the car park comments and so on, it really is akin
to a modern F1 track (I guess that's why they called it Mickey Mouse!!).
Throw in a chicane or two and they could use on today's F1 program!!

Despite all of that, it is actually quite an enjoyable track to drive! I am
very surprised. Of course Rouen is better, and the full LeMans is better,
but Bugatti is a darn nice track to race at, and, as Bruce said, it
completes the GPL package--something that no other track can accomplish.

Bravo.

Marc.

Marc, It was actually my countryman Sir Jack who dubbed the Bugatti track a
"Micky Mouse" circuit. :-)
(I think JC would've been a bit more circumspect than Jack...at least in
public, anyway!)

And I agree that it IS an enjoyable track to drive........after all the
other high-speed circuits on the programme (the original GPL programme that
is...not including those wonderful additional tracks since the release) it
comes as a bit of a shock to the system. All "point and squirt"! Only
Monaco comes close, I suppose.

In 1967 it must have been a bit of a shocker though! :-)

Thanks Bruce and all.

We're happy to see that so many people like the track. Since Bugatti
is our first track for GPL it is very nice to get some positive
feedback. :)

And big thanks of course to Phil Flack, Peter Prochazka and all the
other authors of the tools we used in making this track. Without those
tools we wouldn't have this track now!

I hope you all will enjoy Keimola, too, which hopefully will be
released this month.

Jack, when I downloaded and executed the file, it wanted to default to
c:/sierra/gplff --
why there was an "ff" there, I don't know. I deleted the "ff" and it loaded
into the right location. Could that be your problem?

Ah, but then you wouldn't have had the wonderful Rouen. (Probably
someone would have done it by now though)

Must be Papy excuse is that Rouen is more "interesting" but hell, Rouen is
long and hard to control at points, Bugatti rocks!
