Who all started out in karts, no doubt. <g>
Seriously, that amazes me... I can see the attraction of a hairpin following
the straight, but the section to join the "original" layout appears of the
"snore" variety to me. Then again, they're in the car, so who am I to argue?

Also, with high detail track in GP4, distant objects do not pop
up like they do in F12002 with full detail
But lightning and reflection on cars is way better in F12002
It's amazing how games perform different on peoples computers.

We would have to find out when ISI got track info about the changes
and IF the FIA altered those after releasing them. 2nd perhaps ISI got
correct blueprints but no elevation stuff and just guessed? I wouldn't be
suprised if they didn't really have much to go on to construct the
addition. Since it's pretty clear they don't travel the globe verifying
their tracks, they got this one pretty much all wrong.
I haven't seen f1 2002 yet...did they get the extra asphalt instead of
kitty litter for the run-off areas? (think what would have happened to MS if
he had spun into a nice thick patch of gravel!!)
Finally from the little I can see of your screen shots, the approach
looks too narrow as well. Looking at the start, I thought I was seeing
CART's Cleveland Burke International Airport track. I'm suprised the JPM
took such an extreme inside line to defend the start and DC's pass. He
should have know those inside lines don't work at Cleveland either.
(of course no big curb to hop over in Cleveland and whip your car around)

There's a patch of grass before the asphalt begins at T1.
I put up some screenshots for you of T1 from the behind the car view, and
also one TV camera shot. http://mywebpages.comcast.net/davegf/

The screens actually look even better before they are converted to a jpeg.

Not really... I had the good fortune to walk the track this sunday
after the GP. :-))) After the Castrol corner(T1) the run to the mext
is quite a bit uphill... In fact the whole Mercedes arena from T1 to
T5 is in an uphill flat grade facing the round Mercedes bleacher with
the weird roof.
The T1 was pretty interesting to see in real life, as it's downhill in
the brake zone and changes both elevation and camber quite
dramatically. About ten meters in from the apex I would estimate the
difference between the inside edges of the track to be two-three
meters or so! It's also 17-18m wide according to the leaflets you got
on the site. In all, obviously wrong in the extreme in F1-2002.
Excellent corner, that T1. Loads of great moments in the F3000 race
which usually are real snoozers. Some great moments in F1 too...
Yeah, but they would probably be better off starting from scratch on
this one... :-)
