Castle Combe for GPL - Preview

http://www.nitronuts.co.uk/ccombe Michael Cotchin's been very busy at forging whats become a much requested track - especially for people who've had the pleasure of visiting Castle Combe in Wiltshire, UK. We've now got a preview webpage with some screen shots, some track history, track guide, and a couple of small WMV videos that show an in car lap, and some racing action. Take a look and comments very welcome. Sorry the videos are not bigger / better quality - but my ISP would through a fit if they suddenly had a couple of Gig go down their pipes!!!

Very, very nice, guys. At first, I thought, "Oh no, not another British club circuit around a flat WW II aiport perimeter road...." Shows you how little this Yank knows. It looks fast & challenging. Ideal for online racing, I'd think. Loved the video presentations, too. Very professional. Good luck! --Steve Smith "Douglas Ellison" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:tq0L6.11619$[email hidden]...

just to compliment the guys on what will clearly be a very valuable addition to GPL 3rd party tracks. Looking back through the history books, the closest I can find to the fastest lap time for the GPL era set at the Combe was in May 1970, when Peter Gethin and Howden Ganley set a record of 56.6 secs in McLaren M10Bs. This was admittedly a few years later though and in F5000 (or Formula A) machines rather than F1s. On Sat, 12 May 2001 02:35:08 +0100, "Douglas Ellison" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I think in the 60's its fair to say that the F1 technology quickly found it's way to the gentleman racer around the UK F5000 of 1970 is probably around the same speed that F1 would have been a few years earelier maybe? Doug "Ian Greenwood" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

A fair assumption i think Doug. The current issue of 'Motor Sport' contains a track test of 3 F5000s, one being the actual ex-Gethin M10B. Power is 460bhp, weight 1300lbs. There are however rudimentary wings front and rear, much as in '69 F1 cars. Nonetheless, probably quite similar performance.

Well the 67 cars have a very good technical advantage - Andreas Wilke - he's worth 1 sec a lap easy!! Doug "Ian Greenwood" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Is that one of the tracks that was in Viper Racing? Eldred -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. R.I.P. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett F1 hcp. +25.37...F2 +151.26... Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you with experience... Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

Don't think so - I think all Viper tracks were fantasy tracks? Andre
