Did no-one else get a reply then?

I didn't, and I sent several, radically differently worded emails from several addresses.

Maybe they only respond to British inquiries.

Overheat · November 14th, 2004, 3:45 PM

perhaps so. I did send it from my .co.uk address

Or maybe they were tracing back the e-mails and only sent answers to those who sent a single e-mail rather than spamming them from multiple accounts. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Wow, that's it? It doesn't seem.... difficult anymore. Just a few corners and a 90 degree turn into a wide hairpin.... bah. Seems a lot more complex when the The Stig drives.

it isn't hard, but there are some nasty twists in there, which slow you down big time if you don't take them properly

Er, that was kind of you, but mission was accomplished. No more emails need be sent. images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

this might be interesting. after several hours of searching, i found a sat photo of the dunsfold aerodrome. tell me if looks familiar:

http://imageatlas.globexplorer.com/I...2&zoom_level=1

go here and search for dunsfold, uk. sorry the watermarks are a bitch. the airport you'll see is where TG is shot (gotta be). check out all the cars parked around the large hanger. were they shooting on april 1 1999. if so which episode?

Overheat · November 18th, 2004, 5:38 PM

I couldn't fathom it.

what exactly. look, it's the place, just a few years before TG so the hangar isn't painted and the track is still runways but it's all there. the buildings match perfectly with the intro sequence. I don't know where dunsfold is to bradford but you should ride over there and take a look if you can.

Oh I see, I checked that out straight from the multimap link from the link that Katy sent me. It's pretty cool, check it out: http://www.multimap.com/map/photo.cg...g=&mapsize=big

Also, here would be the journey that I would have to take to get there:

Not exactly a leisurely stroll images/smilies/smile.gif

So if this is the full airport:

and this is the track layout:

would this be the section of the airport they race on:
