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 ??? Greg

Dennis Jenkinson

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 :) Phil Tim Vanhee wrote:

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. ;-) -- Matthias Flatt

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....?
