Cleek: Infineon Raceway.

Google's street-view bus chases a car around a racetrack... http://ok-cleek.com/...infineon-raceway/ Interesting / lame / ? Presumably things like that will soon be 1080p or higher video rather than a string of static images. Oh what a glorious future that awaits! :-) Cheers, Scott.

Horrid hairpin at the bottom, nasty off-camber esses through the first section, fiddly artificially annoying bit at the top, too easy to take the escape road on the downhill section. Only Laguna Seca is worse; a circuit famous for one awful chicane (the corkscrew) and being a bit dusty. Even the noisy runway section of Sebring isn't that bad. BTW, Forza 4 is great fun.

Post #349,797 by Another Scott 10/28/11 11:15:09 AM Reply	Yup. It seems to use the same images. I downloaded Google Earth for Mac and am playing with it. You can "Record a Tour" and save and play it back. There's an Earth browser plugin, so you don't need to run a separate program - it seems a bit clunky in FF. 38.160894,-122.45898 is around Turn 2. Turn on Street View in Google Earth to follow the car. A great way to waste a few hours on a Friday, but I've got chores to do (taking a vacation day today...). :-) Cheers, Scott.
