About 30 photos of the Ring side by side with screen shots from GPL. Can you
tell which is which? :)

Actually, the elevation and corner radius looks wrong at some places.
But it's hard to compare it this way due to the different camera
angles.
Just wondering what graphic card the guy uses for GPL, the graphics
don't look so good. All his GPL pics have a weird green color.

Excelent pics ! Kind of neat to see how they designed the track from 60's
data and what it looks like today ( looks like last summer pics).. The only
thing the game designers left out of Nurb were the massive amount of bugs
that collect on yer windshield ! Heeheee..Hope that Benz has headlamp
washers too ! :p

Actually, I think we should thank Henri Ekberg for this, but since I
can't read a word on the website I'm not sure.

Also the real car and the GPL car are not always at exactly the same spot.
So I think, GPL's Ring looks very accurate.

I'm pretty sure it's not the graphics card, but some track graphics add-on.
I downloaded one some time ago (don't ask me where), but it was too green
for me.

Yes, I thought of this just after I posted my message, you're right.

Ah ok, I was just wondering. I think his green pictures look really
bad compared to the original colours, just mho.

almost 2/3's of the pictures and GPL shots were missing when I went to have
a look, is this what everybody saw also?

No, all pics worked. Try a reload perhaps?
