It has great street racing feel to it, thanks Alan. Makes me think how it might be if someone were to make the Isle Of Man curcuit (hint, hint) [email hidden] (Greg) wrote in <[email hidden]>:

Hey, I'd love to submit my rating, but I can't ever seem to get past this traffic light just a mile after the start. It's always red and never switches to green!!? Has anyone gotten past it?? ;-) But seriously, a great track. Fun to drive, and fun to look at. Good track layout, very realistic feeling, lots of love for detail (e.g. how you bounce off the tilted curbs ever so softly), and the graphics have been drawn very well too. Of course the track is lying WRT the weather - you'd never finish an entire lap on this track on the British mainland (is the track in England or Scotland?) without getting at least a few raindrops ;-) OTOH, the setup is _perfectly_ british, an feels very real. A tad too low, and I've never been a fan of the 60/85 settings, but except for that the setup feels very real. It nicely equilibrates GPL's somewhat too hard suspension (by design) by using soft shocks and springs, which gives the car a realistic feel. Thanks to the makers of this gem!
