For those that might of missed it here is comparisons of the real
Nurburgring and the GPL software version side by side.

Hyperstims Jon Crooke recently raced a 356 Porsche in a 2 hour enduro at the
old Nurburgring in Germany.

He had a incar camera an has taken some stills so as to compare with the
software.

Already done, Vail.
"In Car 956". with Derek Bell at the wheel.
Papyrus did a damn fine job with not only the 'Ring but also Kyalami,
Silverstone and Mr. Noonan was spot-on with Brands Hatch.

GPL AND THE RING FOR REAL ..... {SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISONS}

Very impressive!

I must admit, for the first time, GPL really astounds me by how close to the
pictures it is.... and the 1 branch in the first picture....what mad man
added that...now that detail:-)

But one , Thing I nnoticed at some place is the grass next to the track.....
I know the ring , you are on the limit in GPL, but in real life ther is some
very valuble run-off space there.....
Was it not added in GPL to make the Ring look more daring?

the 'ring was changed several times (biggest change in '70 or '71),
removing some turns, jumps and adding run-off space.

Oh right, I haddent known that, but how do you get the landscpae to look
like that?

I'm not an expert in digging things up but those features look more like a
natural feature at some points than man-made?!!?!

But I'll take your work for it:-) Thanks

uhm? my work? maybe you got me wrong. I was talking about the real ring
and it was mostly changed around my birth ;-)
I don't know how papy designed the scenery in GPL especially of the
ring, but they must have watched looooooots of photos and films ...
