International Circuit ?

If so, I think Thorney on BM3W took some on the Easytrack / Seloc day on the 24th Aug - but I may be wrong.

Look at www.gto3.com in the multimedia section. I've got a couple of Rockingham laps on there.

It is the international lap I am after - I'll check out BM3W.

Cheers for those vid clips - just what I was after!!

What did you think of Rockingham?

Hang it all out on the final hairpin! Watch the right hander with the wall in the background. Good - if a little tight - some unusual cambers and sightlines for a 'greenfield' track.

Rockingham International was a lot tighter than I'd expected from the circuit map - more suited to the Seloc crowd than the CSLs - quite good fun though with a 'balls - out' run out on the oval and a fast chicane. I'd do it again, but preferably not when it's sheeting down - it gets like glass when it rains - it's not just the Cups.

The most important thing with Rockingham is pray its dry. Rockingham is the slippiest off all race circuits when wet so use common sense with your lines if it rains (don't use them;-))

The only other thing to think about is treat the chicane at Turn 1 as a straight line kink not a corner, so get everything done (brakes gears etc) before you even contemplate turning in which incidentaly is much earlier than you might think.

I'm feeling generous so no fee ;-)

Thanks for the words of advice - am praying for dry weather!!

Can't find the vids on BM3W - anyone got any of the long international circuit with the banked corners?

Thanks
