Where I went last weekend...

[Mike Hoyer]

Seriously awesome track - can't really post loads of action pics here because we work for the series, and I don't think they'd want people getting freebies, but there's plenty on a1gp.com.

 

[Matt Sayle]

You lucky sod! I am so jealous!

 

[Gary]

very nice indeed

where in the 3rd shot was the 2nd on taken from?

 

[Mike Hoyer]

Just outside the media centre. Can't do from the inside, there's some kind of sun shade stuff on the windows.

on the balcony bit on the cylinder bit that holds up the eye shaped bit?

 

[Mike Hoyer]

Yeah that's it.

 

[Gary]

Yeah that's it.

gotta say thats a pretty impressive looking building

when i was a kid and used to design my own tracks (they all looked like hockenheim) i used to have viewing areas that went across the tracks like that.. i'm going to sue them

you must have missed the bit i wrote about them all looking like Hockenhiem
herman tilke designs his tracks with a ruler and a compass*, mine were freehand with variable radius corners like a proper track should be



*more likely, Catia, Unigraphics, Autocad etc, but you get the idea

I did mine with a felt tip pen.

Or "Grand Prix Construction Set" on my old BBC computer.

Thats the one Tilke uses. He's only got a BBC model A, though.
