Adding piles of track screenshots to the GPL track database

I think checking out a track's screenshots is a good way to get a feel
of what of kind of track it is (together with map, track data, ratings
and so on of course). It's simply a good help to decide if it's for me
or not. My site statistics supports that theory, the "show track
screenshots" page is very popular.

I've been without a decent graphics card for half a year but recently
got that sorted so I'm putting down some time on making screenshots
for tracks that have been without, both new and older tracks.

---------------------------------------------------------
So here are tracks that recently got screenhots added:
---------------------------------------------------------

Hen Circuit
---------------------
Screenshots: http://www.racesimcentral.net/
More info: http://www.racesimcentral.net/

A really fun drive!!!

Hockenheim 1970
---------------------
Screenshots: http://www.racesimcentral.net/
More info: http://www.racesimcentral.net/

A classic :-)

Interlagos 1973
---------------------
Screenshots: http://www.racesimcentral.net/
More info: http://www.racesimcentral.net/

A classic too :-D

Barber Motorsport Park
---------------------
Screenshots: http://www.racesimcentral.net/
More info: http://www.racesimcentral.net/

A real track in the US, a fun drive with some blind corners.

Autodromo Ciudad de Rafaela
-------------------------------
Screenshots: http://www.racesimcentral.net/
More info: http://www.racesimcentral.net/

Rafaela is a bit sparse graphically. But hey, it should have
screenshots nevertheless :-)

Cherry Hill
-----------------
Screenshots: http://www.racesimcentral.net/
More info: http://www.racesimcentral.net/

If this track was a movie it wouldn't win an oscar. But it's well
worth taking a peek at the screenshots to get an idea what kind of
track it is :-) You just might like it ;-) It's got a good triple
esses for practicing!

Complex String - GPL Trainer track
----------------------------------------
Screenshots: http://www.racesimcentral.net/
More info: http://www.racesimcentral.net/

Another slightly odd track, hehe. Guess why I haven't done screenshots
until now ;-) Actually it's a mad mad mad Madcowie track 8-O

Pic du Midi
---------------------
Screenshots: http://www.racesimcentral.net/
More info: http://www.racesimcentral.net/

This one's really fun to drive!!! If you have missed it you really
should at least check it out. Personally I LOVE the "Petit Masta" :-D

I noticed the website for this track is missing so I temporarily host
the track zip file at my site. And while I was at it I made a proper
install-package for it too :-)

Vale Road Course - Kernow GP
--------------------------------
Screenshots: http://www.racesimcentral.net/
More info: http://www.racesimcentral.net/

The track looks and feels a bit game-ish but has a very high
"fun-to-drive" feel to it!

Speed Valley
---------------------
Screenshots: http://www.racesimcentral.net/
More info: http://www.racesimcentral.net/

Well.... errr.... not a must have track.... But now it has screenshots
so you can see what it's like

Stay tuned for more.....

Cheers!!!

Thanks for the new screenshots! Barber Motorsport Park gets my vote, too.
