Kinlet Park? It's a GPL track based on (real) roads near me; it's driveable; it has a few trackside objects and some pretty stupid AI. That's about it. Oh, and there's no .dat (use Silverstone's) and no install program (come on, that's not hard). If you can be bothered, it's under 2 megs to d/l (because of the aforementioned lack of prettifying) can lap it in 1:28 with a Ferrari set up for Watkins Glen, so I expect someone will do a 1:19 or something within 20 minutes... <g> http://www.btinternet.com/~gplscrapyard/ -- Idiotic deep-linking restrictions: http://www.dontlink.com (not my site) The GPL Scrapyard: http://www.btinternet.com/~gplscrapyard (this *is* my site: deep-linking welcome!)

But we always ran into realism problems ;) because it was clear that no one who doesn't drive here would believe how bumpy and undulating the roads are hereabouts. ("Bumpy" - As in: I couldn't drive at speed on a _new_ road section at night before the street lamps were put up because my headlights were pointed down and up most of the time... ;) - Matt

Well, madcowie did some pretty good rally stages for GPL, so I don't really see the problem <g> -- The GPL Scrapyard: http://www.btinternet.com/~gplscrapyard (including the Kinlet Park circuit - still in alpha, but driveable) Idiotic deep-linking restrictions: http://www.dontlink.com
