Well, I didn't have much luck on the gaming forum so thought I'd try here...

I'm sprinting at Cadwell next month and would like to learn the layout. Have found a couple of in-car clips on the net but wondered if there's a PS2 game that features the circuit?

Thanks,

Chris

Probably got no response as nobody knew. I doubt it if it is either.

It appears on PC games - GPL, GTL & rFactor but I've never heard of it on a PS2.

Aha, that could explain it. What about TOCA Race Driver not sure what the latest version is but looks like it might feature more of the 'clubby' circuits?

practice high pitched girly screaming!!!!

best corners for fear are the gooseneck and barn, which is very tight.

a great circuit to watch ay and drive

Did Goodwood a few weeks back which was great practice for the above by the sounds of it!

As a fellow mini racer, anything you'd particularly recommend for CP?

just enjoy it, it a beautiful circuit that really demands the driver gives it a little respect.

the goose neck is a flowing downhill complex with a l/h bend at the end, the back end will want to try and come past you if you try and use the outside kerb in the middle.

barn comes up on you very fast and tightens up a treat, there is a good runoff as you approach in case you outbrake your self.

the bend to watch is the one near the cafe, if you lift as you turn in you tend to collect all the posts and slither across the grass!, its not as bad as it used to be as the high banking has now been flattened down a bit

just enjoy, and hope it doesnt rain!

Try reading Circuit Guide a few times - oh, and keep away from the left hand edge of the circuit at the entry to Charlies (there is about a 4" drop which drags you off the circuit).

Brilliant circuit - enjoy it!

Thanks Guru, what's a good time for a mini round there - haven't looked at your vid yet but what series is your car prepped for?

Our car was very rear endy at GW but think this was due to an incorrectly adjusted rear arb so hopefully I won't have any more 80+ spins this time...

i did xtreme mighty minis last year but it just tailed off, i did sign up this year but was the only car to even enter the first race of the season, not a good omen for a good seasons racing!

i moved over to do heritage gt's, its a great series, the grids are nearly always full of the most amazing cars, theres four minis that do it so its always possible to have a rumble with someone. and then if it rains it turns the grids back to front - a large american car with 500 bhp is worse than a mini with 80 odd once its raining!

great fun, and a great crowd of people!
