I noticed that there is a Brands Hatch track at the pits for GPL.

Anyone try this yet?

I tried it...and all i can say is WOW!!!!  This track looks just like the
original GPL tracks!!  Not like the converted tracks with N2/99 styls
graphics...this is the real deal!!  My advice is DOWNLOAD THIS TRACK RIGHT

I've already seen people hosting races with it on VROC and GSB.

I've just run 10 laps on it to make sure everything worked ok. All I can say
is, GET IT!

BTW, I found a map of Brands, I assume it's the modern circuit. I'll have to
go back to GPL to see how it has changed.

There seem to be a couple of turns at Brands where you have to turn in
before you can see the apex. This is gonna' be fun!

It's pretty accurate to the GPL track.  I loaded the TRK with a viewer, and
it's pretty close (just for fun, I knew how the track was).

The only main difference between your URL and the GPL track is the second
Dingle Dell Corner (it's just one right turn, not this sort of
esses/chicane).  It's fun to check out the difference of the track in some
sims (Toca, etc..).

Im still trying to find the correct line into Turn 1 (Paddock Hill Bend).
At the moment Im braking in 2different spots (before the hill and after when
I get weight back).  If I start to brake after the little hill I just loose
it.  Might change setup for this :)    . Yes and I always apex way to soon
:(

Looks like the only difference is the chicane at Dingle Dell.

I found a more detailed map at the BMRC:

Same layout but the dimensions are different - I wonder which one is
more accurate?

Thanks for this posting, I didn't know about BH.
Looks good (except for one or two graphics gliches ) but tricky
(Mexico style) for a duffer the like of me.
Someone get to the crunch, give us a clue what kind of lap times we
are looking at?
Any re-plays available to see? I find these a big help.

I just had a couple of races at Brands on VROC.
Firstly, the track ROCKS.
Second, mid-pack times tend to be 1:37 - 1:42 ish
The fast guys are on 1:35's already!

Dave Noonan (creator) reckons cars of the day were touching the 1:30's

I can be more exact than that. in 1966 the fastest lap was 1:37 . In 1967
there was no Grand Prix at Brands but by 1968, the cars were circulating in
the 1:29 bracket. This of course, being the first year with wings in use.
