The GPLEA group have done a fantastic job with Snetterton, more so than
standard GPL tracks they have created a little world to drive around in.

Quite a few Easter eggs :

John Travolta
Mr Bean
Basil Fawlty
number plate

any more ???

Hey Tim, I didn't do the graphics - that was Matt's area.  From memory
about what we discussed he'd do:

beatles, john travolta, john cleese, blue brothers somewhere, mr. bean,
some mexicans from desperado (the film), and maybe even the agents from
the matrix, although i'm not sure about that one...  i *think* the rest
are just 'people', although i'm not sure :)

No, I think there are two Beatles (John+George?) with those grey suits
they wore in their early years.

And I think I found the reason why the AI cars drive so erratic:
the flagger guy in the grey overall looks like Jim Clark. Seems that
at Snetterton, the teams let their mechanics do the driving. ;-)

nice touch that the garage is actually open instead of one of those
Wile E. Coyote tricks (my head still hurts from trying to take that
road at Nurburgring..)

took a drive across the the pedestrian bridge too <G>

but who is that guy sitting down either writing or drawing, he looks
familiar but i couldn't quite get it....?

That's DJS, "Jenks", (Denis Jenkinson)...the now sadly-departed roving
reporter for MotorSport.
