Still prefer the little straight between the Dunlop Bridge and the esses and the fairground down there too! I don't like the "new" sweeping curves.

What's the thing the shape of Silverstone near the BSJ campsite?

If you look closely at Arnage, I think the RX7 that parked in the Gravel from '05 is still there!

If they took the photo of the circuit the same day as they took the photo of my house four miles away all the photos were taken on July 20th 2006. I know 'cause I can see them delivering the new swimming pool!

A downside of course is that now every town hall is using the satellite images to check if you have done any work on the house so they can up the taxes.

Has anyone else seen the silverstone shaped thing, it looks like a grass with a gravel track around the outside? Someone must know what it is?

Do you mean this? http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&

It looks like dirty water rather then grass to me. Don't know what it is though.

Here, in the centre to the right of the Porsche Curves.

[Gad-Westy]

Is that not the Alain Prost kart track?

[mikey_p]

No I think he means the green race circuit looking thing near the centre of the pic. In the middle of the trees there is a large grey area (gravel?) with a building in it. And below that is a funny shaped object that looks like grass, or a lake/pond, with the edge of it looking like a circuit. Not sure why my earlier link just showed a roundabout, I link it to an image of that object.

Below the football pitches, if you go to google earth and zoom in you can see it better.

[tod82]

How very odd! Its a pond!

Alain Prost's kart circuit is closer to the ford chicane.

See what you mean. The perimeter road is nearly exactly the same layout as silverstone. Can't just be coincidence!

Oh and that's not just any roundabout!
