Road Atlanta on the TerraServer

http://terraserver.microsoft.com/TerraServerV3/image.asp?S=12&T=1&X=3 Enjoy!

Was this pic taken before or after SCGT modeled the track? I don't see the chicane at the end of the backstretch like it is in the game. I'm not too familiar with the track, so I didn't know if the chicane was added recently or taken away recently... Love this track on SCGT either way...

The pic is dated February 1993 - and AFAIK the redevelopment was quite recently. Unfortunately there are no more up-to-date pictures of the track on TerraServer. regards -- http://ianhill.tripod.com Home of the TerraServer Racetrack Links Page!

The picture shows the track as it was configured with the infamous "Gravity Cavity", which was replaced with the current chicane as the track is configured now. -Chris- Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Wow, I didn't know Road Atlanta was that close to the Atlanta Motor Speedway! (that is the Atlanta Motor Speedway right?) http://terraserver.microsoft.com/TerraServerV3/image.asp?S=12&T=1&X=3... 27&Z=17&W=2

If you're talking about that little piddly thing to the northeast of Road Atlanta course, I doubt it... that's either a 400yd running track or a dirt oval - it's nowhere near big enough for Atlanta Motor Speedway (which BTW is at http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.asp?S=11&T=10&X=317&Y=58&Z=346... regards -- http://ianhill.tripod.com Home of the Terraserver Racetrack Links page!

A 3/8 mile ( or maybe 1/2 mile)

paved track which holds some NASCAR races (All-Pro etc) and local races. I'll never forget the saturday nite that I was at a IMSA race and someone got the idea of taking a GTP car over there and broke the lap record by several seconds. I was watching from the hill across the road. Hope this clears up any confusion. Regards Ken Graser

<red faced> heh, I jumped to that conclusion so fast, I didn't even think about the size proportion..........ugh.......
